Crab

Remember
those kind Kiwis who saved my bacon back in the Philippines? They
relieved us of 17kg of luggage and brought it to Singapore where they
now live. We were pleased to spend a couple of evenings with them and
knowing how much I love crab they steered us into the Jumbo Seafood
Outdoor Restaurant.

Brian could have easily used THREE of these Jumbo bibs

In
addition to having a good feed of chilli crab, the only other culinary
item on our Singapore bucket list was to find a really good restaurant
specialising in Peking Duck. After much internet research we made our
choice and booked our table at the restaurant with the longest name in
town..... "The Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Restaurant
Singapore". That's eight words according to my count!!
The
bottom line is that our duck was simply gorgeous. I've never encountered
such crisp sweet toffee like duck skin anywhere in the world before.
Next time you're in Singapore I suggest you come here for the Peking
Duck. Absolutely Yum.
|
So we went to the best Peking Duck Restaurant in
Singapore!
|
|
|
I think this guy had carved thousands of ducks.
|
|
|
All the best parts were laid out on two "China duck
platters"
|
|
|
A platter each, hoi-sin sauce, crepes and garnishes.
Let's GO

Unfortunately
I have to report that just two days short of finishing the vacation
Brian has come down with a REALLY REALLY bad case of influenza. It's
hit him really hard and the overnight flight to Sydney with an aircraft
change in Melbourne. is going to be really long and unpleasant. When we
finally reached Sydney we struggled our way out to Matthew and Trish's
place at Cronulla and fell into bed.
The
following day Brian dragged himself out to the airport again and a
couple of hours later were home in Nambucca Heads. What a relief. Sadly
Brian is still sick some nine days later and Lynn has joined him on the
sick list. The joys of travel. Still lots of time in bed has allowed
Lynn and I to continue our research for a planned trip to Colorado,
Wyoming and Montana in June. No comments please!!
