Jumbo Seafood

Singapore - After setting up the exhibition for CommunicAsia 2017, we went to East Coast Park to find a bicycle kiosk but it was closed.  The night was cool and windy and along a jetty there were anglers with many rods hoping to catch a big fish for dinner.

We are going to Jumbo for a delicious seafood dinner.

Dinner with Edward, Lesley and Donny

Black Pepper Crabs

Deep Fried Scallops with Yam

Geoduck Sashimi

Hong Kong noodles
I realised that there is no such noodle in Hong Kong called 'Hong Kong' noodle but this is a common Hong Kong style noodle eaten by Hong Kong people so it was adopted here as 'Hong Kong noodle'.  This Hong Kong style noodle is 'Soy Sauce Fried Noodle'  豉油王炒麵, literally ‘Soy Sauce King Chow Mein’.   The fresh cabbage, lime and shrimps just adds to the Singaporean taste.

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
