Singapore 11October2025: Local Flavour Lunch With a Gringo Touch and Only Two Sodas Per Person!
The itinerary indicates a “Local Flavour” lunch which is at the tourist centric Red House Seafood restaurant. Our tour guide managed to pick up some real local flavour Singaporean Chicken at the best place for this dish (sort of a hole in the wall) as we walked towards the restaurant seemingly used to handling tourist buses so as to speak. Get em in and out fast!
In this blistering heat and humidity a cold beer was on the mind of most of the group but bearing in mind the parsimonious streak of ABC International, the tour organizers, NO BEER and ONLY TWO SODAS OR WATERS PER PERSON! Cheapo supremo! I paid for this trip in USD so I want a fair deal!
This place was so “local” no chopsticks only western cutlery which oddly the Americans in our group were happy with but we Canadians had to ask for chopsticks! The food was mundane and to cater to the gringos the Singaporean Spiced Crab was already deshelled. I mean why not ask for Dinner Number One – Dinner Number Four just like in a 1974 Chinese restaurant in Toronto. Much better than airline food!
The best dish was the Singaporean Chicken “smuggled” into the restaurant. A simplistic looking dish but oh so tasty. Our tour guide got shit for bringing it in. Very cold and unfriendly staff at the restaurant.
