Choy sum is a Chinese vegetable that's a thinner version of bok choy. It's  prepared with garlic as a side dish that complements chili crab

Laksa is another signature Singaporean dish. The Katong Laksa is a Peranakan (a  Singaporean ethnic group) fish soup that's made with rice vermicelli noodles in  a rich and spicy coconut broth. The soup is filled with seafood like shrimp,  squid, and fishcake.

Barbecue stingray with chili sambal is another iconic Singaporean dish. The  stingray is coated in a spicy chili sauce, wrapped in a cleaned banana leaf, and  grilled for a smoky, spicy, and delicious flavor.

Sting:

The Singapore culture is an amazing blend of Chinese, Indian, Malay, etc, etc---the Koreans are also there---and what's amazing is how well all these different cultures have amalgamated in Singapore.

Have you ever visited Singapore Stinger ? If you have not---take a visit some day.

Main shopping district in Singapore is Orchard Rd which I suggest you avoid as all the Western luxury labels are there, instead head for Chinatown or the Mustafa centre in Little India.

Sunil bhai:

Is that where you bought your lovely Rolex or is it the Patek Phillipe---Chinatown in Singapore ?hahaha

Rev

Yum, some real mouthwatering dishes! Now I'm hungry

Quiet man you want expose my secret or what. I got some good silk ties there and some blazers made of bamboo fibers.

ha ha ha ha

Listen! The stuff you pay hundreds or thousand of dollars for on Orchard Rd---you get them dirt cheap down in China town---and by the way---did you know many of the so-called fakes in Chinatown are made by the same factories in China that manufacture the real stuff----they have secret shifts---at those factories----the secret shifts manufacture the stuff you buy in China town.

Yes I am aware of that, we call them 2nd shift in the UK. The goods can be sold legally once they are unbranded. The vendors just put "Like Gucci" "Like Versace" etc. More 2nd shift Nike and Adidas are sold than the branded stuff.

I bought my first pair of Ray Bans at NYC Chinatown. A week later the Ray wiped clean off and all I had was a pair of Bans.
