Only a little fatigued from Gardens by the Bay and the Skypark, we decided we wanted to see a bit of Chinatown on New Year's Eve. The build-up to the New Year celebration had us very much impressed...
|
Everywhere, fully-fruited calamandon trees, one of the
symbols of fruitfulness and prosperity; we had a huge
calamandon tree in the backyard of our 39th St. house, in
Miami, when I was a child; citrus, but sour beyond belief;
my father loved them, and fed them to our dog, Blackie,
who devoured them, loyally |
|
The Legos Year of the Rat set; sold out |
|
New Year's gourmet food hall, Takashimaya's |
|
Ever culturally-sensitive McDonald's |
|
Prosperity Oreos too |
|
Festive German New Year's kaese |
|
Rats in the boulangerie! |
|
So now we are in Chinatown |
|
We were not alone |
|
The Rat rules |
|
First Singapore police we've seen, in nearly a week; everything's done by camera,
we heard |
|
A New Year trinket store, by 11PM, completely broken down, gone |
|
So after walking around a bit among the masses, I was hungry; but maybe not
this stand |
|
We finally settled for this place, loud and boisterous, the only long-noses there |
|
The choices |
|
Most people were having the fish in red curry, but I knew
that wouldn't do |
|
So I opted for the spicy beef and green beans in cumin sauce; she took a bite and
said thanks for sharing; I can't believe I ate the whole thing: Happy New Year! |
