Ahhh, Singapore. Where safety barriers have helpful messages on them.
Where your hotel is built on the site of a historic WWII Japanese prison camp. "Why would we want to keep that? Prosperous countries don't have histories."
Where everything is clean....um....hey wait, am I back in New York? No, because in New York they wouldn't bother to have the garbage boom across the water.
And where the Char Kway Teow is good. Actually, it is amazing. It also must be the most unhealthy thing I have ever eaten that was not served at a fast-food chain. The particular version below consists of flat rice noodles, stir-fried in *lard* with dark soy sauce (which is not the same thing as soy sauce), chillis, cockles, egg, bean sprouts, green onions, Chinese sausage and fish cake.
Crazy good! I washed it down with a sugar-cane-and-lime juice over ice. Burp!
