Lucky you ECL!
Fabulous pictures and as usual I've put on 10 kilos just looking at them. I know I'd love tasting them all. I recall how the delicious Chilli Crab used to heat up and swell my lips after eating the dish. Must be the chilli.Nevertheless I love this succulent dish.
I'd forgotten all about The Big Splash! How we loved going there for the giant slides. It was such a fun and popular place. Must still be crowded like mad on weekends. At the time it was really a one of a kind place. The only other pool in the area was the mundane Chinese Swimming Club.

CRIZ LAI said...

Aww... all those good food around made me yearn for more. Wasted... my photos for my USD2xx meal went down the drain... the stupid computer corrupted all my last 3 days' files. Shifting house sure came at a bad timing. :(

You know I love seafood so my mouth is over watering :lol:

That Sauna Sliced Fish looks so delicious and how clever made!

giddy tigress said...

Are you tempting me to go to Singapore?

lunardancer said...

A crab feast from one of the renowned chefs in Singapore, now that is what I call a taste of heaven! The pictures of the food and the menu were making my mouth water as I went through them. If I were there, I would indulge in all of the dishes. It would be a regrettable loss to pass up even one of them.
