At the moment I’m coming to you from a two story, brick laden bagel cafe in the sunny, and windy city of Cape Town, South Africa.

Kevin and I are escaping the bone chilling Korean winter, all 6 months of it, to summery South Africa to soak up rays and sink our teeth into a whole new cuisine.

Our tickets were quite cheap, and if you also buy cheap tickets, you know this can mean 12-20 hour layovers in airports. Thankfully, instead of being cooped up in a drab airport terminal sucking in stale air and trying unsuccessfully to sleep under the glare of fluorescent lights, Singapore wants you to get out there and spend some cash! You can opt for a guided tour provided by Singapore Airlines, or go it alone. We had a nicely timed 12 hours to eat and shop. And eat and shop we did! If you live in North Asia, Singapore is about a 5 hour flight from Seoul and a great city in which to rejuvenate stagnant gray senses. The weather is usually muggy and cloudy, but the food dazzles kimchi laden taste buds, and shops like Zara and Top Shop cater to those of us who are large-ee.

I present to you maryeats, a peek at hawker stands.

If you are interested in Singapore cuisine there are a host of Singaporean food bloggers out there. Check out chubby hubby, kuidaore, and Kitchen crazy daffy.
