Marathon in Singapore - EATING (27/05/07-29/05/07)

Since we are both leaving Singapore soon, we were trying to catch up with the local food here in Singapore during the last couple of days. Xiao Yu and Maresa were very nice and joined us showing us different places to eat and different dishes ...


We started off on Sunday night with different seafood dishes and lime juice :)
Afterwards we shared some Chinese deserts ...

A "nice" dish made of the womb of frogs ... yummie! (Apparently it is very healthy ...)
On Monday the marathon continued.
In order to digest our food better, we drank lots of Chinese tea ...Inbetween we needed some Western food again. Fortunately, our Italian flatmate Savina cooked some real Italian Lasagne - wow that was great!
Having the lasagne with the two Italian girls :)
As Xiao Yu and Maresa miss the Austrian food so much, we also went to Brotzeit to have some real Austrian food. We were sitting outside where we could enjoy the beautiful view on Sentosa ...
The all-time favourite PORK KNUCKLES (Schweinshaxen) :)
A lot of Chinese people come to try this dish. We, however, prefer the Käsespätzle as well as the Käsekrainer - these are of course accompanied by a real Radler (mix of beer and Sprite)
The marathon came to an end on Tuesday: We went to Geylang.
Geylang is the Redlight-District in Singapore. There they also sell very typical food and of course we also went there to try some dishes, we have never tried before ...

Here you see Tessa and me eating meat - in fact, it is FROG!And this is what the frog stew looks like :)
The four of us enjoying the new tastes ...

Even more frogs available ...

The food marathon continues ...

Some egg pies - quite sweet

And finally the desert - Soy milk in different variations together with a fried something ...

Tessa and me evaluating the tastes ...

While Xiao Yu and Maresa are playing around with the chopsticks ...


So these last couple of days we tried many different dishes and got to know new tastes. Thank you Xiao Yu and Maresa for showing us around :)

Nevertheless, some exercise will be necessary during the next days so that is where you will find us :)

And that is also a nice place to be as it is getting hotter and hotter in Singapore!

3rd Australian Joy (23/05/2007)

Oh my gosh :) Once again and after a very long time Tessa and I went out in the evening to meet some good friends and enjoy a nice evening with them ...First we went to our favourite Australian restaurant in Singapore to have some strawberry daiquiries and of course a lovely desert - mh. This time Maresa, Xiao Yu and Nora - an Austrian girl - joined us. As you can see, Tessa is really enjoying her strawberry :)And afterwards some really nice white wine ...Of course we did not take a normal taxi to get to the clubs - we instead took a nice Cabrio :)Afterwards in MOS - Xiao Yu will miss us :(
Fotoshooting with the girls before going home ...

Working life in Singapore ...

So what have we been up to since we started work at Brotzeit - the German Bier Bar and Restaurant? Well, of course we haven't got so much time anymore as we used to while studying at SMU.

A couple of weeks ago Spiderman 3 started playing in the cinemas in Singapore and also in Brotzeit the film was celebrated and even Spiderman came ...

Kodi and me ... with HIM

The whole Brotzeit Crew ...

Tessa and I also moved to another apartment again and now we live with an Italian woman. Fortunately, there is also a pool - so Tessa and I can go swimming, sun bathing and just relaxing at the Pool ...

We also have breakfast at the pool ...

As the moving and the carrying of all our bags from one place to another was so exhausting, we decided to enjoy some Australian food :) What we love most is the desert!!!

Welcome back ... :)

... to keep healthy, we sometimes visit our new friend - the manager of a SPA restaurant in Vivo City and there we relax in the cosy chairs drinking coffee with soy milk and eating healthy cakes ...In Brotzeit we also meet a lot of new people and so we met Cornelia and Dhillon - a nice couple from Switzerland and the US. Last Friday it was Dhillon's 30th birthday and so we celebrated him in New Asia Bar ...

Late in the night- a final group picture before going home again ...

Saying goodbye to our apartment and moving to another one ... (01/05/07)

Time has passed so quickly and finally the time has come to move to another apartment. As SMU is over for us now and we already started work, we decided to move to another place - The Plaza in Singapore. We both have a room on the 3oth floor overlooking Singapore - an astonishing view when laying in bed. On our last evening in the flat, we had some drinks with Leo and Basti and then we went out. So dear friends these are the last pictures in front of our red wall - we will miss it!
Afterwards we went clubbing ...
The day after - after having slept long - we finished packing and Leo helped us to move from our apartment to the Plaza. Here you only see a few bags we had ... and Leo was really helpful carrying all the heavy bags for us ...
These are the bags which we took to the Plaza - the rest is still at Leo's place. We will have to see what we do with all our clothes, shoes ...
So that was some more news from Singapore ... take care!
