Singapore: Extra Seats Needed - Aug 2006
These two photos were taken at Katong area in Singapore, with a large population of Malaysians.

Thick toast in Singapore for breakfast

Give "Toast Box" a try in Singapore. Toast Box is a chain store serving thick toast and different bakery. Photo here is the otah thick toast I tried... otah is minced fish and grilled with banana leaf. The coffee is a rich, sweet & strong drink which is very similar to a vietnamese coffee.

Best Laksa in Singapore

This is one of the best laksas I had in years. I went to Singapore in August 06. Without any planning before the trip, I wandered around the city and went to Eastern Bridge Road where there are a number of laksa places. I picked one that has the most number of customers.

The soup base had a rich seafood flavour with small clams and shrimps. The interesting thing was that the noodles are already in short lengths so it is okay to eat with a spoon. The manager there recommended having an iced cold glass of barley juice.

Address: 49 Eastern Bridge Road

Highly recommended
