Remembering Sichuan and more in Singapore Food Street

China Town Singapore

Chinese cuisine has always been one of my favorites. I remember Mapo Tofu being one of my favorite Chinese dishes on a local restaurant. When I went to Chengdu China and ate at Chen’s Mapo Tofu where the dish actually originated, I realized that the Mapo Tofu here is worlds apart from the original taste. Since then I haven’t tasted anything close to it or any of the Sichuan dishes I tried there. That is until I went back to Singapore’s China Town Food Street and found some restaurants that offer something close to what I remembered.

A rainy day Binondo food trip

So what do we avid traveler-photographers do during the monsoon season? Hmmm, at times, we just brave the weather and go ahead with our trip. But sometimes, we’d wisen up and not push our luck, opting to stay in the city and find something else of interest. That is exactly what we did recently when along with two fellow foodie friends, your happyfoodies braved the Saturday monsoon rains to eat their way through a Saturday. Nevermind the overcast skies and intermittent rains, the muddy streets and damp air, but really, is there something more pleasurable than sniffing out the delicious smell of Chinese food wafting from shops and hole-in-the-walls and succumbing to the temptation?
