but this actually tasted worse than it looks. We've eaten some pretty weird stuff out hear but this concoction was made up of crushed ice and durian fruit (see later pic), topped with cold sweetcorn soup and with a hidden centre of beans!! Yummy!!!

And any other cat lovers out there. This is Romeo, the giant furball who lived at our hostel in Singapore and somehow appeared in our room every time A went to the toilet! Wonder how that happened!

These strange looking fruits are sold everywhere and they stink. Really stink! In fact carrying one on the Singapore underground carries a $500 fine. Not nearly high enough if you ask us!

Get us! Drinking Singapore Slings in Raffles Hotel (where the drink was invented). Obviously we didn't stay there since we're not millionaires, but it was a nice way to end our time in Singapore.
