Craig's food adventure - Singapore

Emily's fiance, Craig, has just come home from business trip, this time from Singapore.

He is now well familar with his routine - to take some pictures of food he eats wherever he is sent for business for my blog, hahaha.

This one was his room service for dinner at Shangri-La Hotel - Singaporean Chicken Rice. The menu informs Craig that it's a very popular Singaporean dish: the chicken is slow cooked in chicken broth until it is tender and the same broth is used to cook the rice, giving it subtle aromatic fragrances, accompanied with homemade chilli sauce, dark soy sauce and ginger paste.  Wow, it sounds really yummy.

He then had a dessert, some kind of jelly. He remembers it was sweet. I don't know if each colour has different flavour. I am curious and visited the hotel's website but I could not find any information about this dessert.  Maybe it is only available for room service... I wonder what this is...

He thinks he may be sent to Bhutan for business next. I am wondering what he can eat there, so I consulted with internet that informs that chillies are an essential part of nearly every dish and are considered so important that most Bhutanese people would not enjoy a meal that was not spicy.  I hope he would like lots of spicy food there.  Wikipedia also informs that when offered food, one says meshu meshu, covering one's mouth with the hands in refusal according to Bhutanese manners, and then gives in on the second or third offer.

Craig's food adventure continues ....

That's all forks!
