Singaporians frequently say that the national pastimes of the country are eating, shopping, and going out at night. Tonight we tackled two of those with a group dinner at the House of Sundanese and then a few drinks at Clarke Quay (my hopes of getting to bed early were definitely dashed, but hey, when in Rome).
Photos, from top: Dinner was outdoors on a terrace that faced the water as the sun set. It was warm and beautiful-- we faced the ACM museum that we had previously toured. Highlights included a whole fried fish (surprisingly tasty) and of course, Tiger Beer. Tiger Beer is an Asian beer that can be found nearly everywhere, making it our group's beer of choice.
After dinner a group of us crossed over the river (of fear) to Clarke Quay and found a Singaporian Brewery (I got the impression that this is uncommon) called the Pumphouse. We ordered their IPA and some lighter beer, which arrived in meter-tall taps. (The beer was not bad, but it wasn't anything special either.) When we were finally good and tired, we tracked down a cab and made it back to the hotel. Singapore continues to amaze me by being such a clean, safe, and friendly city.
