\"\"<\/a>3rd DAY<\/h3>\n

–\u00a0Ya Kun<\/strong><\/p>\n

On our 3rd and last day (I would stay for a month if I could!) we can almost state it was a quite gastronomical day! We started the day with the Asian and European breakfast delights at The South Beach Hotel<\/em> (see<\/a>), but decided to do a second breakfast, and here it got an entirely different dimension, in this case, my belly got a very big dimension!<\/p>\n

We left the hotel straight to a typical Singaporean breakfast at the historical Ya Kun Kaya Toast<\/em> that delights everybody since 1944. And what do they serve, you ask? A traditional breakfast of Singapore, full of sugar, but really full of sugar!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaya Toast<\/em> is nothing less than a toast filled with a sugar cream, coconut milk and eggs, and also with butter. In this traditional breakfast may also be included some slow cooked eggs (onsen egg) and to go with, a coffee or tea! Of course we ate everything we deserve, and obviously we left there in the edge of exploding! But we couldn\u2019t miss this delicacy. For me it\u2019s just too sweet, and I like sweet things!<\/p>\n

There are a lot of Ya kun Kaya Toast<\/em>\u2019s around the city, namely in shopping centres, we went to the one at Raffles City Shopping in the middle of town.<\/p>\n

Well, now let\u2019s go burn all these calories!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Chinatown, Maxwell Food Centre, Chinatown Heritage Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

From here we headed to the famous Chinatown, all the cities have one, and Singapore is no exception, even because a great part of the history, culture and costumes, and origin of the city goes through the Chinese people.<\/p>\n

So, Chinatown, similarly to Little India, was born from the ethnic segregation policy kept by the former British colonizers, when Sir Stanford Raffles started planning the urbanization of Singapore, reserved to the Chinese minority (nowadays majority!) all the southwest area of the Singapore river.<\/p>\n
