Huber's Butchery is part of the Dempsey Hill complex and is the go-to for wealthy Singaporeans and expats to purchase premium meat, cheese, and other imported luxuries. You can also have lunch there in the small bistro seated outside.
Dempsey Hill is also home to Long Beach, a seafood restaurant where the diners sit alongside tanks of live seafood. For a full size Alaskan or Canadian air-flown crab, the cost can be up to $1000 SGD. Of course, you do get to choose which one you want.
Chilli Crab is a popular Singaporean dish, served with lots of sauce that can be mopped up with the small bread pieces seen alongside (white is steamed buns, brown fried).
This is my Aunty Evelyn from Perth, visiting Singapore. When you buy cut fruit at stalls you can usually request that they be cut into bite-sized pieces and served on a plate with skewers for sharing.
Rojak is another popular dish in Singapore, with Malaysian and Indonesian as well as Singaporean variations. This one is fruit rojak, made of cucumber, pineapple, bean sprouts, taupok (fluffy, deep-fried tofu) served with a thick sauce of belacan (shrimp paste) sugar chilli lime water, and covered with chopped peanuts. For this particular stall you had to queue for one hour, as it was so popular with locals.
Henderson Waves is one of the bridges that connects the parks along the Southern Ridges in Singapore, and is in the shape of a wave, with the floor and the sides of the bridge following a curve pattern. It's a popular place for picnics and photo shoots, but watch your food because monkeys can come by and snatch it.
This photo at Avatar is basically of the free champagne we scored on the night of the supermoon, because it turns out they had a special DJ in and the usual free drinks for ladies was not running. Complain to the manager = result, but they stiffed us making us drink out of tumblers instead of glasses. You win some you lose some...
Toast Box is a very popular chain eatery done in a white painted cottage interior with quaint knick knacks and so on for decoration. It serves traditional Singaporean food - pictured here is Mee Rebus with Kaya-flavoured cake :)
