This is what I have discovered...
FOOD here is dirt cheap. 80% of households DO NOT Cook at home. It seems that buying groceries is actually most costly than eating out at the zillions of hawker stalls around.
Another discovery, there's HOMECOOKED food on delivery. There are companies who delivers your dinner, 5 times a week at S$280 for 20days (Mon-Fri). This works out S$14 a day to feed a family of 4. This includes 3 dishes, a soup and you'll have to cook your own rice. An extra $20 if you want them to supply the rice. Of course I checked out the "menu", 15 chicken dishes, 15 fish dishes, 15 Pork/Egg in a varied style, 15 Tofu/Duck/Veg dishes and of course another 15 varieties of chinese soup. Who needs a maid?
Okay, ...my fingers are all peeling from the cleaning and sort of Ezcema thingy. They were on my feet the better part of Wollongong years and now "they" have decided to move upwards to my upper limbs. The nice cool breeze in the apartment also answers for the amount of dust on the surfaces....grrrr! Just did my first even mop of the place, new mop (not happy with the design!!), but pretty easy as all are tiles and timbe floors. My feet are still black in colour though....?!?!
Am yet to cook in my kitchen..maybe next week? The fridge is looking scary bare!
After about 6 years in Singapore. We have packed up our memories and entered a not so booming yet exciting new country. Until we get our driver's license, we will not be New Yorkers but alas, this place can grow on you. All 5 of us, an unlikely yet loving couple, a 6th grader encyclopedia, a 4th grader who knows it all and a dare devil toddler. This is our life, our journal, our journey.
