In all of years that I've been in Singapore, I'd never been to Pulau Ubin. I finally got here today after a rather tiring kayaking excursion across the channel, and this shop was right on the beach where we stopped. We grabbed a few snacks like fried chicken and a surprisingly good sa...
My Filipina colleague brought me some more packaged food from the Philippines, this time being something called tuyo . The way she explained it to me was that it was some kind of stinky fish that traditionally is eaten by peasants but is now common among the masses. Based on that desc...
