My lunch today

As you can imagine, there are many interesting cuisines here in Singers. What I find is that most people don't even know what they are eating. I've learned to stay away from any kind of beef if it doesn't come in steak form. The fish (unless it is sushi) is just fish. I had some yesterday and no one knew or seemed to care what kind of fish it was. From the taste, I would guess catfish, but I don't even know if they have catfish out here.

Today, I went to the Irish Pub under my office and ordered their "Fat Chips." It turns out they were out of Chips. WHAT KIND OF IRISH PUB RUNS OUT OF CHIPS AT NOON ON A FRIDAY I ASK YOU?! One in Singapore is the answer.

I then read the description of the club sandwich: Fried fish served on white bread with tartar sauce and chicken served with FAT CHIPS. I ordered it. What I received was whole wheat bread covered in a thousand island type mixture with fried egg, bacon, lettuce and chicken shoved inside, it was served with a salad and mash.
