Okay jokes aside.
Turns out half my crew decided to join me in Malaysia. Since Singapore is my second home, I prepared for the days ahead rather than visiting the typical tourist traps that characterise my initial posts of cities.
But fear not, I’m not altruistic towards Singapore. In fact, I plan to cover this place (especially food) on the return leg of my journey for the sake of faithful readers who’ve never been here, hmm … in a narrative vaguely reminiscent of a famous film by George Lucas.
In the mean time, I believe I’ve found one of the top chicken rice in Singapore! In a shop called Boon Tong Kee at River Valley Road.
As a local, I’m always a bit put off by gentrified kopitiams (trans: Coffee Shops) because they appear to “Try Hard” with inferior cooking. Once I put the chicken rice in my mouth, I’m almost certain its so authentic my late grandfather will think it’s still 1959.
In a super bizarre twist … they decided that Ferrero Roches will make a great addition as tidbits before the meal. That should send anyone back to the future.
