some food for our thoughts

Dear friends and family,

In canteen A (see left), the only airconditioned canteen on campus that I have found so far, the variety of food to choose from is excellent. Nine different stands cook fresh food for the equivalent of 2,- EUR or 3 USD, what a happy life.
Yet, after finding out that Chinese sweet and sour chicken actually includes pretty much every part of the poor little chicken and I repeatedly had to chew my way through joints and nuckles, I got much more inclined to the Korean cuisine where they have nice little BBQ samples and good noodles. Plus, everything that is not fried, does not count as fast food :-)



















The two food pictures show typical Singaporean dishes and deserts. Particularly the ice cones with colored sugar flavors are worth a try!

Enjoy,

Mat

In contrast, I spent 11 CHF on a bowl of rice plus some chicken drenched in sweet and sour sauce (with a little salad at the side) today at the Mensa.

Looks like you're having a good time with food there in Singapore. Oh, and for a momento of the cool air of Canteen A, ask for a takeaway of honeydew juice + milk. It's a great thing to have in your hands as you walk in the afternoon heat back to the seminars ...

Have fun with your food (but not by playing with them)
