Singapore Chinatown

I make it a point to layover as long as feasible whenever passing through Singapore. Sometimes it’s the fabulous food, and sometimes it’s window shopping and nightlife.

Indoors 12 – Japanese Curry Rice

Posted on Posted in PicsTagged , , , , , , ,
It takes some effort to whip up, but you can make a big batch and it’ll keep for a long time, and as someone who loves Japanese curry, I’d happily settle with fridging and slowly consuming said batch over several days. Despite the allure of eating piping hot curry straight after cooking, it is also a dish that simply gets better the next day, due to the improvement from having the beef soak up the curry flavor overnight.

Dreary and overcast one day, sunny and inviting the next.

Cool noodles and rich, warm dipping broth tastes great in the summer. There’s several places throughout the country, but I ate at their shop above Nagoya Station.

Lots of cars at the Toyota Automobile Museum, but this is definitely a standout piece, not least because they displayed it near the gift shop, unlike all the other cars.

Ningxia Night Market

Night markets are a must-visit in Taiwan. Many choices in Taipei alone. The pork belly and the roujiamo are definitely the standouts here, but I sampled a lot of other things, from fried mushrooms to stinky tofu and fried milk.

Last time I went, I visited the Shihlin Night Market, which is arguably the most popular. That being said, they all have generally similar vibes and you can’t go wrong with Shihlin, Ningxia, Raohe or the many others just in Taipei alone.

Car Curry @ Toyota Automobile Museum

We ate pretty late in the day so most of the other dishes were sold out at the Toyota Automobile Museum, but their signature curry is still available. Good thing it’s only car-shaped. The low-card konjac rice option is a nice touch.

Mount Fuji… Obstructed

Ok, I’m starting to slightly see why all the tourists are going crazy over a good shot of the mountain.
