Some foods make foreigners speechless.

Soup taken from chicken legs must tastes good. It's understandable because it's a kind of chicken soup. But cooked chicken legs and peanuts soaked in the soup might stun you. In addition, people eat chicken leg (just skin though) as well! If you don't mind chicken skin, you may love this soup. There is CHICKEN FOOT NOODLE as well. I had no guts to try that. |

A popular beverage. Bird's nest (swallow nest) + sugared water. Nest itself has no particular taste. You'll find venders on the street. Canned bird's nest drink is also available. |

Icecream sandwich seems the most popular icecream in the town.That is sold
by hawkers on Orchard Road. When the hawker come, people rush to buy one. Icecream sandwich is a chunk of colorful icecream on a colorful bread. You'll feel very full with this and you don't need to worry about melting icecream under the tropical sun. |

How do you like Malay coffee -Strong coffee with condense milk? How about Indian Chai -Tea with condense milk and evaporated milk? I love them. |

At beverage stalls in traditional hawker centers, you can take away your
drink in small vinyl back. Instead of putting on somewhere, you can hang this from tree branches and nails. This is a great advantage especially for construction workers. |

When you order local desserts, you may be surprise what are on your Ice-kacang or in Cheng tang. Sweet potato is OK. It's common ingredient for sweets even in Western Countries and in Japan. But corn? Well, it's actually sweet. But taro, ginkgo, and wood ear(a kind of mushroom) for sweets? Wow, live and learn! |
 |
Peanuts dessert is sweet peanuts paste soup. So does sesame. I'd never
have peanuts and sesame in this style. In Japan, we have peanuts cookies
and sesame cookies. And we have sweet red bean paste soup. But sweet peanuts
soup and sweet sesame soup?! These were surprises for me. And these are
nice! These desserts seem very common in Singapore because even instant peanuts and sesame desserts are available at supermarkets. |

Sarsi is a carbonated beverage produced by F&N. Sarsi looks like an
ordinary soda pop but tastes and smells strange. Some say Sarsi smells
like a application which we use after mosquito bite. Others say Sarsi smells
like a poultice for stiff back. Anyway, these are not the expression for
something delicious. I thought Sarsi tastes like a root beer or a ginger beer. But F&N sells their own ginger beer besides Sarsi. I wonder why Sarsi is still popular among other tasty beverage. |
