So traveling with a sick child means no restaurant eating for me. It’s rather unfortunate since I have only a couple of days in Singapore. To make the best of it, the Central Mall food court came to the rescue with cheap and fresh bento meals. Fish Village focuses only on fish! Crunchy, fresh and perfectly sautéed and seasoned with Bonita on top. A vegetarian delight.
Yes, boring salmon with Teriyaki sauce, to be shared with the sick child. The egg yolk was really orange yellow and more flavorful than that in the U.S. The Bento box was perfect for the combination of a picky mom and a sick child.
But look at my other options: Pomfret, Saba, Grouper, steamed fish and congee! Since this is only my second day in Singapore, I still have trouble with bill/coin recognition. The proprietors were so kind to me and made me completely at ease in handing over money for them to choose from.
Juices are a lot more popular in Singapore and Taiwan than in the U.S. due to the tropical weather and its abundance of fruits. Here is an example… Avocado as a drink! I had A4 Avocado and Green Apple. Funny… I tried to order watermelon smoothie and was discouraged because the watermelon today is not sweet. I tried to order avocado with Yakult and was discouraged because the owner thinks it’s not a great combination. I tried to order avocado and mango and she told me the mixture does not blend well. So I landed on her recommendation of avocado and green apple. It was delectable.
My experience at the juice stand and Fish Village is quintessential Asian. This is one of the best parts of the Asian culture.
