Singapore Food – Part 3
Fried Kway Teow This has probably replaced Chicken Rice as my favorite food here. The dish is made with flat noodles and stir fried in soy sauce, chilli and egg.

Gotta get some mooncakes
Well this year I didn’t get to try champagne or tiramisu mooncakes like I wanted to a year ago but I did get to try a traditional one and icecream one! Both were really good. For the traditional one, I did not like the taste of the yolk but the outer part was pretty good –…
