Stoat - Where?

Sentosa is a small island just off Singapore, connected to the mainland by a bridge and described by many (well, the tourist information places) as an island paradise. Only a fool turns down paradise, so I headed off to check it out today and was happy to find that though they have paved part of it and put up a parking lot, that’s just a convenience because it lets you see the rest of it with ease. Joni Mitchell, what were you talking about?

Continuing the theme of appreciating food, lunch today was at a fantastic Indian place called Samy’s. Five types of gorgeous and hot, genuine Indian curry, with fresh-squeezed lime juice to wash it down. Brilliantly, it was all served on banana leaves instead of plates, just like some miso dishes are served on leaves in Japan. I could do with them when I go home - no more arguments about who does the dishes! The place itself is an open, whitewashed building with high-ceilings that looks like its from the colonial days and apparently used to be a gentleman’s club.
