Singapore: Through the eyes of a foodie...

This year while planning our Dusshera vacations, we decided we would not do our usual offbeat vacation, but holiday like true blue tourists in a foreign land.
We zeroed in on Singapore. A bustling country with multicultural population and modern economy. With a diverse population consisting of Chinese, Malays, Indians and many more, there was a medley of food for me to view and capture.
Here are some frames of various edibles captured during our holiday.
Let's start with Starbucks' Cafe Latte. In the absence of a good mug of Masala Chai, we had to make do with this;-)
Our very own Ananda Bhavan's Filter Kaapi in Little India wasn't bad either...
Savouries at Ananda Bhavan...
Cookies beautiful displayed at Little India, Singapore.

We tried some traditional Chinese dessert at China Town...
A delicious dessert made out of shaved Mango icecream served with fresh mangoes...
Colourful, exotic tropical fruits...
Melons, kiwi fruits, apples, coconuts...
...and dragon fruit too!
Baked goodies in abundance...
Fruit tarts, custard tarts...
At the end of every day we would pickup a small bag of fruits from the vendor near our hotel to taste some of the exotic fruits.
One day we saw this gigantic Guava at the fruit shop. I being a die-hard guava fan had to try it out. We learnt that it was a hybrid guava, the next day there was an article in the paper about the demands for such hybrid varieties in Singapore.
We did eat it, but I would stick to our home-grown local variety of guava , that might be small but full of taste:-)
