Thanks for your “private” message,appreciate, hehe, so now I know that you have some “connection” with our Singaporean gal ;)

Glad you like our Newton Circus :)...Err, how can eating Stingray be comparable to eating a pet?? Who keeps Stingay as pet??... Ahem, eating Stingray is more than harmless ..as we don’t eat strange things like those in China or Korea(they eat DOG :((.. Esp china, they eat anything that “moves” :P

P.S. I love to eat the Stingray with plenty of hot, hot sambal chilli, the hotter the merrier, and go along with our Tiger Beer in NEWTON CIRCUS, can’t beat that heavenly feeling, yummy :P !

Ya, maybe it’s good idea that you didn’t pick that flat and not live near the “noise” polluted area..I live in the HDB flat in Holland Village area where it’s undergoing some upgrading for the whole area, including the park and the building itself…the project won’t end till end of the year..but now I’m so used to the noise and somehow it now become “music” to my ears when I wake up every morning!.. Hey, but not that kind of ‘Hammond Organ’ variety music you mentioned, I would hate that too ;)

Sorry, what’s BGM and TBH?

I’ve played (fondled?!) with the rays at Monterey Aquarium! It’s hard to see them as food…. they do go well with that chilli tho’!

BGM: Back-ground music
TBH: To be honest

Marrying Singaporeans is a way to lose taste buds—you end up being unable to taste anything lower than level 9 on the chilli scale.

Hey, tell me about it ;)

Hahaha, you are funny!! Unable to taste anything lower than level 9 on the chilli scale huh? Ya it’s so true, eating spicy food is very much part of our cultures..can’t help it, we are surrounded with so many kinds of wonderful and spicy cuisine here, Malay, Indian, Thai, Indonesian, Peranakan, own local version etc..

Singaporeans in fact are easy to please when comes to food, we are quite adventurous kind of eater since we grew up having to try so many kinds of ethnic food…but there’s one thing we can be very particular, and that’s chilli sauce!! I had to bring along my own chilli sauce whenever I flew back home to Singapore when studied in the States! The chilli in the North America, esp in the U.S. is very lame, taste more like tomatoes ketchup to us :P

Hehe, no wonder you know so much about Singaporean culture… you are married to one! ;)
