Singapore Food 101

The team all in our bibs doing the "crab".
The night before we ate at the top of a hotel on the 38th floor overlooking the city. The view was amazing. Unfortunately I hadn't bought our new camera until the next day...

"Drunken Prawns" After...I was instructed to rip off the head and then suck out the juices (from the head). Very strange but it actually tasted ok.

"Drunken Prawns" Before....


they were alive and kicking. they put some sort of alcohol to in the bowl and shook them up to stun them before cooking.


"Chili Crab" very good, a bit spicy. I was directed to eat the roe out of the body of the crab--"best part". not too bad.



They say the eyes are the best part. They also eat the fins--well actually you suck on them to get all the juice and skin off. Just have to be careful not to swallow the bones! Yes I tried it : )
