people trash singapore as sterile and boring all the time, but when you live in bangkok and have to put up with the traffic, the pollution, and the general insanity, it's really lovely to spend some time in a city that's organized, clean and pretty. think southern california in southeast asia. except it's a lot cheaper, and there's a comprehensive and efficient public transportation system.
but aside from that, singapore has wonderful food. the city state has existed for barely fifty years, so there's really no specific "singaporean cuisine." but singapore does have the cuisines of the chinese, malays and indians who settled the country. yum. the annual dumpling festival was beginning just as i was leaving. bad timing.

dumpling festival?!? oh my god- i wouldn't leave!
i am so jealous as i read about the fusion cuisine of places like singapore, the phillipines and even korea- the new audrey had a feature with some of the best exports. why can't boston get with the international program?
