On Monday we went to Orchard Road and took the bus & train on the trip into the downtown area of Singapore. Orchard Road is like a Michigan Ave surrounded by upscale shops, restaurants and really a tourist attraction.

Amy & Dinesh have been playing it safe with authentic foods and we've had chicken wings and pizza for dinner the last 2 nights. So Monday night we had an authentic meal with Dinesh's family. They were so hospitable and we ate fish curry, noodles with egg and shrimp, spicy lamb, spring rolls and something that is like a tortilla pancake (I forget the real names of them). I actually liked the meal and that's saying a lot for a picky eater like me. Andrew tried a couple of things and wasn't as daring... The kids ate the pancake thing with sugar and they had chocolate ice cream for them too (can't go wrong with ice cream right?)
