QUOTE : SIGHTSEEING the around the island state. Hop a ferry (they leave every hour from Jardine Steps at Singapore's World Trade Center), and sit back and enjoy the view of the city as it wends it way through Keppel Harbour. Then put on your walking shoes for a cultural journey through Singapore's Chinatown (have your fortune read and shop for antique porcelain), Serangoon Road's Little India (check out the dazzling saris in fabric shops), and Arab Street (batiks, sarongs, semi-precious stones will be tempting."~ Quote from ISLANDS MAGAZINE

Spice Island or Just Clean n Green ?

CLEAN FOOD !

Spice island
The gastronomic gamut in Singapore runs from haute cuisine to delicious Southeast Asian specialties hawked from tiny stalls. Great restaurants with atmosphere abound, but if it's an adventure you're after sample the savory native dishes that combine the best of Malay, Chinese and Indian cooking, the three cultures that make up Singapore's population.

Nonya or Peranakan food is the meeting of Chinese ingredients and Malaysian spices and is generally thought of as the "national cuisine." Coconut milk and chilies crop up in most of the dishes, with beef rendang (an Indonesian-style curry) being the most famous. For some of the best Nonya in town, try the Blue Ginger (97 Tanjong Pagar, 835-3928) nestled in a quaint shophouse. For a real local experience, head to a hawker center, where sleek-suited businesspeople slurp in harmony with a chorus of short-and-slipper-clad diners. Everything from healthy noodle soups to curries to steamed buns is served from individual stalls.

Whitebait Mojitos and More Eats and Meets

a singapore production 


We many be a tiny spot on the dot of the world map, but do you remember the story about the Princess and the Pea ? Well, this little peapod of a place is teeming with as much life as a there are tiny microcosms on tree trunk. Its just a question of perspective.

On this island, we may not have tons of paid fields, extensive mountains nor great lakes and vast fields of poppies, butI assure you, we have our fair share of red hot chilli padi's and wild rice !

ENTERTAINMENT :
Admittedly some of us get a recurring island fever every so often, and need a break from the ant hill to venture out into the wild wild expanse of the asia pacific region. And there are certainly lots of places for island hops, great dive spots with clear blue open waters to dive with turtles and swim with dolphins and within 3 hours of this little peapods place.

But whilst we're here, let me share with you one of my favourite places for meets n eats with the local urban villagers.

Tucked in the underskirts of Richard Miers fresh white camden medical centre, in a most inappropriately unique and comfortable location is the Whitebait and Kale eatery and Deli.

"White Bait" as its fondly referred to is a fresh new place to gorge on yummy fruity desserts, banana cakes, passion fruit fizzy juices and lots more. If the Drink of Singapore is defined as the "Singapore Sling"at The Raffles hotel, the the definative drinks of this side of the Metropolis is WhiteBait's "mojito". Perhaps the Mojito won't overthrow the Sling as Singapore's premier drink, but on taste alone, I am all for the COUP D'ETAT! I am not a major fan of the main courses, but the pumpkin soup and the greeny cold pea soup would have sent Oliver Twist to ask for more and more and more at the risk of several beatings..... perhaps even Oprah ( Winfrey ) would approve of this for her yummy scrummy lets-look ten-pounds-lighter-diet-regime. Afterall the owners of this little eatery were courageously savvy enough to place a single restaurant in a quiet low traffic space of a medical centre. Its a perfect day out for the uninitated.

How to plan a perfect day out? Well if you are from the neighbouring countries, I would suggest for you to pick one of the medical facilities for a morning appointment, then include a work out at the pilates studio run by a gregarious Italian lady, have a light lunch at Whitebait or grab a sandwich from the Deli, trot over to Tanglin mall for a spot of light shopping at the East India Company. ( Their loose linens shirts are prefect for this climate ). Set your meeting appointments at the Traders Hotel followed by working discussion at the Singapore tourism Board's swanky air-conditioned building. by evening come back to the camden medical centre for a spot of cocktails or round off your meetings with clients and associates by the "money" pot fountain in the open air atrium of the WHITEBAIT and KALE restaurant. If you want a little more local fare, the traders Hotel has a roof top restaurant, Ah Hoi's kitchen with bellowing "mist" Fans to cool off the tropical evening humidity.By ten , if you need to work off that dinner belly, a stroll along Orchard road will offer you a diverse glimpse of places to explore if you decide to extend your "Singapore Stopover". Country and western beer bars on Orchard Plaza, or an Irish Beer with crooning live bands at Muddy Murphy's or Jazz at the summer Set Bar where they serve up a selection of Cohiba's may be just the night cap to top off your evening before your next flight in the morning.
