Hot & Rainy in Singapore

Singapore has been super humid recently, and yesterday afternoon there was a massive downpour. I was in the Chinese market area at Albert St. & Queen St. in close to the Bugis area.

For visitors to Singapore, I highly recommend this place. Row after row of food stalls, drinks stalls and small circular tables, with hungry locals chatting and enjoying the food. Realising I was the only westerner in the place, I gingerly got in line at a food stall. The owner was busy dishing out food into paper packets, for his customers to take away. I asked for a plate, and ordered white rice, water spinach, teriyaki chicken and a dark vegetable that tasted like sourkraut. The plate was very good and cost only $2.50 Sing (US1.60).

Strolling around I saw soy milk vendors, juice vendors and most surprisingly, sugar cane vendors. The last time I drank sugar cane juice was in India. The lady ground some sticks into the light green liquid and I drank 3 glasses, delicious!
