SINGAPORE! Here we come!!!!! (Part 3)

WARNING: The following are pictures of food that are really too good to be true!

The third day was the best day of GOOD FOOD that I have tasted!!
We went to eat popular Singaporean cuisine.

The first stop was at this shabby shop that served Hainan Chicken Rice. It was low fat and healthier than most chickens served in other restaurants.

~Clear Hainan Chicken Soup~

~Hainan Chicken Dipping Sauce~

~REALLY Tender Hainan Chicken~

~Hainan Chicken Rice~

I know I have two pics of what looks like plain rice, BUT IT WAS THE BEST RICE EVERRR!!!


~Stir-fried Vegetables Singaporean Style~

~Deep-Fried Vegetarian Dish~

~Cold Crab (served chilled)~
(dip it in the chilly sauce or just eat it plain!)

The "wong" is the BEST part of the crab!

I thoroughly enjoyed lunch and so did everyone else!

After lunch, my dad and I went for a walk around the city.


~This is the popular and newest mall ION MALL~

~Pretty Cake Shop!~

~McDonald's~
(What was interesting about this was it was just a really small glass shop with no kitchen just counter...or so it seems?)

After Sight-seeing we went back to the hotel to get ready to go out to dinner. Again, we were going to a casual restaurant. We didn't know what to expect because our friends who were taking us there didn't say anything.

But we arrived to the Crab Delicacy Seafood Restaurant


It was famous for its crab dishes
And also their Crocodile Paw Dish, (which we DID NOT try)

But the following meal is one of my favorite meals of ALL TIME!
CHECK IT OUT!
***

~Bitter Melon Sliced thinly dip with Honey (served chilled)~

~Fresh mini clams served in spicy clear soup~

~Long Razor Clams~


~Shrimp Soup~


~Deep Fried Pizza~ (SOOOOOOO GOOD)

Famous Dish
~Crab in White Soup with Noodles~


~Crab from the soup very tasty!~

~Hot Fresh Mini Buns~

YOU DIP THE ABOVE WITH THE BELOW:

~Chili Crab~

~Black Pepper Crab~

We had to wear plastic bibs to avoid getting dirty from all the tasty crab!

THEN, Came DESSERT!
***
~Dessert: Taro Paste in Sweet Sauce (served hot)~



~ Dessert: Sweet Potato fried and drizzled in Syrup (served hot) then Dip in Iced Water so the Syrup freezes leaving the outside hard and crispy and the inside flaming hot!~

THIS WAS SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!
~Tribute~ YUM!
