Singapore: Day 2 lunch



From top: 
After our visit to PSA, we stopped at one of Singapore's popular hawker centers for lunch. (Mike-- note the extremely awkward track that Hallie pointed out to me on the way over.) These centers are open air courtyards with dozens of food vendors selling Chinese, Indian, and Malaysian food. Most complete meals can be enjoyed for under US$3. We visited Newton Hawker Center and enjoyed a feast of chicken rice, which is a plate of rice served with a platter each of duck, chicken, and pork. We also had and plate of Indian fried noodles and prata, which was like a dough stir fried with eggs and squid. To drink, I had a coconut water and sugar cane juice with lemon-- which tasted like a light, sweet, lemonade (almost with a touch of ginger). Both were extremely refreshing!
