Thanks to a recent invite I was privileged to acquire on a Makansutra Food Safari. For those who produce non know Makansutra is a Singapore based foodies direct for all things adept in addition to edible here. There is a mass published yearly alongside all the best places to eat, a website in addition to many events, ane of which is the safari, a tour roughly some of the best places to larn almost the influences on in addition to sample the nutrient heritage of Singapore.
I good cry upward when I starting fourth dimension visited Singapore catching a programme on TV hosted past times a rattling entertaining Singaporean called KF Seetoh in addition to after seeing him on many nutrient programmes inward Singapore showing the hosts the best of what this isle has to offer. Little did I e'er imagine I'd ane twenty-four hours accept the chance to run across him myself in addition to acquire on ane of his safari's, but sure plenty concluding calendar week that's precisely what I did!
First halt was, ironically, but roughly the corner from where I alive inward Katong (a good known business office of Singapore for food), at the Mr Teh Tarik Eating House where nosotros got to regard our starting fourth dimension delight, Putu Piring, beingness prepared past times the human being inward the photograph below. He was fantastic in addition to clearly thoroughly enjoyed having all the grouping on the tour taking his photo, much to the bemusement of the locals enjoying their food.
Putu Piring is a steamed rice cake alongside melted palm saccharide inward the centre, covered inward kokosnoot in addition to flavoured alongside pandan leaves. The cakes are a Malay adaptation of an Indian dish. It was incredibly sweet, fifty-fifty for me who admits to having a flake of a sugariness tooth. We were given ii to sample in addition to I'm non sure I could accept eaten whatever to a greater extent than but they were rattling adept in addition to manifestly acquire especially good alongside a java or should that hold upward kopi?

After this nosotros speedily moved on to the Geylang area, which although 'famous' for many things also has much inward the means of adept nutrient to try. First stopping inward Geylang Lorong 27 to sample a diversity of delicious Indonesian influenced dishes. The nutrient hither but kept coming in addition to coming in addition to was all fantastic. There were in addition to thus many dishes but our nutrient safari hither included beef rendang, mutton curry, spicy squid ink (the ii dishes inward the foreground inward the photograph below) in addition to a cabbage in addition to tofu curry.

Then, of course, equally it was a nutrient safari things started to acquire a picayune flake to a greater extent than interesting alongside a see to some other eating theatre inward the Geylang surface area (Lorong 3). The eating theatre advertising sort of gave away what nosotros would probable hold upward sampling next!
Sure plenty after settling ourselves downward out came pots of porridge in addition to pots of frog's legs. The porridge is nix similar how I suspect some of yous reading this may hold upward imaging. It for certain is non the porridge oats yous may accept for breakfast on a mutual frigidity winter's day! I've tried congee previously which is a rice porridge in addition to the frog's legs were served alongside this inward a rattling tasty sauce. I was non completely enamoured of the frog's legs which, in addition to apologies for the cliche, did gustation of chicken! Despite them tasting fine I mean value for me it was the psychological barrier of eating a frog which seat me off. I also imagine it is the sort of dish that requires yous to seat the slice of meat inward your rima oris to chew it off the bones, something I but could non do.

Our side past times side dish was but equally odd but ane I could definitely hold upward convinced to swallow ane time again - shark's head. This was ane of the dishes that KF Seetoh got Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations fame to attempt on a see to Singapore, in addition to thus I felt inward adept company! The business office of the shark caput yous swallow is the pare in addition to gelatinous parts all roughly the bone, which possibly does non audio that appetising but served alongside the chili sauce was divine.
Following this came crab served alongside drinking glass noodles. I've tried chili crab previously, my starting fourth dimension e'er sense of eating crab, in addition to whilst it was adept I did non relish eating alongside my hands in addition to the inevitable mess involved. So I happily watched my immature human being diners tuck into this item crab on my behalf.
We rounded off the even out at the Makansutra's Gluttons Bay, which is the chance to sample some of the best dishes Singapore has to offering equally recommended past times Makansutra. It was dessert fourth dimension for us in addition to nosotros began alongside kaya toast (which I'm ashamed to acknowledge I'd non previously tried), a rattling pop dish hither inward Singapore. The kaya dip (in this case) is made from eggs, saccharide in addition to kokosnoot milk flavoured alongside pandan. It was delicious in addition to thus side past times side fourth dimension I accept a kopi I must brand sure I accept this equally well.
Finally out came some banana fritters in addition to whilst I imagine non especially adept for yous inward large quantities were absolutely gorgeous. The batter was low-cal in addition to the banana suitably gooey in addition to I inevitably ate far likewise many of them!
Singapore is a foodie sky correct - in addition to thus a nutrient safari is definitely the matter to do.
