Again, fantastic food, this Japanese was amazing, on the right that’s silken tofu coated in something crunchy with seaweed and fish eggs, I like neither tofu, seaweed nor fish eggs but completely devoured that dish. The rice and sizzling beef were something transcendent:

But mediocre coffee. While mediocre, a country of this humidity and temperature does do a mean and appropriately sized iced coffee:

Other exciting discoveries were found in the scattered Korean supermarkets in the malls included interesting cosmetic devices:

A show of Singapore’s delightful wine selection:
