Singapore - 7 Food & Drinks in Singapore That You Must Try!

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Cheow_Yu_Yuan]Cheow Yu Yuan

Singapore is a lovely country in South East Asia. It is located just south of Malaysia, with a total population of close to 5 millions. It is popularly known as a shopping and food heaven, and a safe country. Tourists have no problem hanging out at night because the security is very tight in Singapore.

If you are a food lover, you will definitely love Singapore. This is because Singapore is a multi-culture country, with many different religions existing hormonally together. In Singapore, you will find many different types of food from all religions. In this article, let me share with you 7 food and drinks that you must try when you visit Singapore:

1. Laksa. Laksa is originally a Malaysia dish. But as Singapore has its own roots in the Peranakan community, you will see food stores selling Laksa here. This dish consists of rice noodles cooked in spicy coconut gravy, with bean curd, prawn and chicken meat.

2. Chicken Rice. Chicken rice is the most popular dish in Singapore. In Singapore, you can easily find stalls selling this delicious dish. You can choose a serving of steamed, bbq or roasted chicken with rice cooked in garlic and chicken stock.

3. Chili Crab. When you visit Singapore, you must dine at Jumbo Seafood. They offer crabs that are cooked with spicy chili and egg gravy. If you are a seafood lover, this is something that you cannot afford to miss.

4. Singapore Sling. Singapore Sling is a cocktail that is originally invented for the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel. The recipe of Singapore Sling contains gin, cherry brandy and Benedictine. You can drink Singapore Slings at most of the bars in Singapore and on flights of Singapore Airlines.

5. Indian Rojak. Rojak means a mix of several ingredients. In Singapore, you can find Rojak prepared by Chinese and Indians. A dish of Rojak consists of bean curds, vegetables, fried dough and seafood.

6. Satay. Satay is simply Singapore version of meat on skewers. You can get different kinds of meat: chicken, beef and lamb. In Singapore, Satays are served with peanut sauce which makes it extremely delicious.

7. Ice Kacang. Ice Kacang is a dessert that is well-love by many Singaporeans. A bowl of Ice Kacang consists of a base of jelly, corn, red beans, attap seeds and ice is grated on top of them. After which, it is topped with various colored sugar syrup and condensed milk.

Finding Love in The Land of Smiles

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Scott_M_Lee]Scott M Lee

Thailand is an enthralling all embracing country in South East Asia, and most visitors often report feeling welcomed by friendly Thais in the "Land of Smiles." From the exotic sights and sounds of Bangkok; street food sellers, pushcarts, tropical orchids and the all embracing heat, to the beautiful rural charm of the provinces, places like Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Song, where hill tribes still work the land, and rice fields are frequented by dirty-faced children and buffalo, there is something for everyone in this distinct yet sedate land.

However there is one thing in particular that some are looking for, and some search from top to bottom to find it. And that is love.

For many men, the first stop on their holiday will be one of Thailand's tourist oriented, red light districts and bar areas. Where girls serve drinks and make friendly conversation, hoping that it will lead to something more. Many Thai women want to find western men as husbands. And some will go to any lengths to entice one of these men to sign on the dotted line and walk her down the aisle; many go online and sign up to dating agencies that promise a husband from England or Europe. they employ the help of a 'fixer' who can read and write enough English to help them send emails to their prospective love partner. Likewise men looking for a Thai wife will often go online or join a Thai introduction agency, which promises the best Thai ladies from all over the country.

What are the chances of finding love in such places and just how happily these relationships work out over the long term, and how many fail, is not fully known. However, it does seem that more and more people are seeking love and happiness in the Land of Smiles.

Tourist Attractions in Singapore - Popular Places to Visit in Singapore

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Cheow_Yu_Yuan]Cheow Yu Yuan

If you are planning to go on a holiday, you should consider Singapore. Singapore is a country located in South East Asia, just south of Malaysia. It is a small city and has a population of around 4 million. Singapore is not a typical Asian country as it has a very strong British influence which can be seen in everything from architecture to politics. It is also famous for many things, such as having the best airport in the whole world. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you visit Singapore for holidays.

Every year, Singapore attracts millions of tourists. Why is this so? There are many popular places to visit in Singapore and many tourists like what we have here. In this article, let me share with you some popular tourist attractions here.

1. The Night Safari. The Night Safari is located at the Singapore Zoo and is the first night safari in the world. It allows visitors to view a large number of nocturnal animals at night, in their natural settings. When you visit Night Safari, it feels like you are in a jungle. Singapore Zoo has over hundred species of animals for you to visit. If you intend to visit Night Safari, be sure to take note of the opening hours. It opens daily from 1930hour until midnight.

2. Sentosa Island. If you are a beach and sun lover, you cannot afford to miss out Sentosa. It is an offshore island of Singapore and it has been developed into a major tourist attraction. Recently, one of the biggest shopping centers in Singapore - Vivo City, was built there. You can do a little shopping and take a cable car from Vivo City to visit Sentosa. On Sentosa, you can find lots of famous resorts and hotels where you can stay over. There are a lot of activities that you can do at Sentosa, such as swimming, sun tanning, beach volleyballs, sight-seeing, dining, etc. It opens daily.

3. Jurong Bird Park. Many tourists love Jurong Bird Park for its stunning wildlife settings. You can find ten thousands species of birds in this bird park. If you would like to visit Jurong Bird Park, please note the opening hours: 0800hours - 1800hours.

I strongly recommend you to consider Singapore as your holiday destination. The nightlife of Singapore is also very good as most night spots open till the wee hours. See you around here!

Biking Along the Mekong River in South East Asia

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alain_Frydman]Alain Frydman

The South East part of Asia is one of the most promising areas when you want to enjoy real ecotourism, visit preserved natural locations, discover unique cultural treasures and past temples, monuments and sculptures. Biking at a slow pace along the road is one of the best way to travel and meet real people. To rent a bike and go alone in such far away place could be intimidating especially on your first trip in Asia. The best solution is to follow an English speaking guided tour, like the one the travel agent exotissimo may offer you.

You will travel on two wheels from the southern islands of LAOS to the temple-rich countryside of CAMBODIA. The roads are quiet and relatively flat. Cycling give you an extraordinary opportunity to better approach the people, know their culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery. At your arrival in Bangkok, you will be transferred to the small town of Ubon Rashantani on the laotian border and in the middle of the Mekong river. This area is known as "Siphandon", which means "Four Thousands Islands" and is protected as a National Park Area.

You will peacefully travel on quiet roads and cross numerous small villages where smiling kids will run alongside your bike. In Cambodia you will marvel at the plethora of temples and wildlife encountered along the way. Finally, you will arrive in SIEM REAP with the ultimate reward to discover the magnificent ANGKOR VAT temples.

Bargain Prices: The low season in Southeast Asia extend from May through October. The weather didn't change much except from the short refreshing afternoon rain shower. It's cleaning the atmosphere and the landscape appears brighter with rich lush colors. A perfect time for shooting your best photos! If you chose the low season, you may get a very good price for your adventure travel. Hope you will enjoy it!

Alain Frydman is the founding editor of: [http://mundogreen.com]mundogreen.com dedicated to ecotourism and discovery of unspoiled places on earth. If you like to observe wildlife and breathtaking natural scenery this website could be your travel guide. Great to check before you plan your future vacations.

Wine Cocktails

by Fiona Muller

A glass of chilled white wine is something that is made for summer. However sometimes you want a change of drink but not because you want anything stronger, rather because it is nice to drink something different. If you are a wine fan there are lots of things to choose from but why not make this summer extra special and experiment with wine cocktails?

Wine cocktails can be as simple as a Spritzer. Below is a range of cocktails that you can try out on your friends – just remember to make sure you start with a decent bottle of wine. Just because you are mixing it with other things doesn’t mean that you can use cheap nasty wine as a base!

Sparkling Wine

Sparkling wine makes a great base for a cocktail. Mix with orange juice for the classic bucks fizz or take a look at some of these classics

Classic Champagne cocktail
3 oz Champagne
1/3 oz cognac
2 dashes Angostura® bitters
1 tsp sugar

Soak one sugar cube in a champagne flute with angostura bitters. Add champagne and cognac. Squeeze in a twist of lemon and discard. Garnish with half a slice of orange.

Rose Wine

For a bit of a twist on a cocktail, why not use a rose as a base. Slightly sweeter than white wine it makes a yummy cocktail

Purple Plague recipe
1 1/2 oz Chambord® raspberry liqueur
4 oz White wine
3 splashes 7-Up® soda

Mix zinfandel with Chambord and add 7-up. Serve on ice.


Red wine

There is of course the classic mulled wine but as now is summer here is a classic red wine cocktail that will make the summer go by in a nice haze (but only if you overdo it)

Burgundy Bubbler
1 oz Burgundy wine
4 oz ginger ale

Pour both ingredients over ice in a large wine glass. Garnish with slices of lemon, lime and orange, and serve.


White wine

There is of the course the traditional spritzer – or you could be more adventurous and make a fruit cup…. I think that this recipe makes a great cocktail for watching the day go by as you sit in a chair in the garden with very little to do (sounds like a good idea to me!)

Ash blond
3 oz White wine
1 oz Cointreau® orange liqueur
1 splash sweet vermouth

Shake wine and cointreau together with ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Add splash of vermouth for colour.

Butter Pound Cake Recipe

by Timothy Samuel

This is a really rich pound cake which is tasteful alone or with ice cream or a fruit topping such as peaches. This is probably one of the best if not the best pound cake recipe I have ever made. I have made cream cheese, sour cream,buttermilk, etc and whipping cream still seems to be the best to me. This cake is very moist, easy to make and very delicious. Oh, my goodness talk about exceptional! This cake is so incredibly good! These classic cakes have a dense crumb, a tender, moist texture and a rich, buttery taste.Bakers use the creaming method-beating the fat and sugar together to hold air bubbles-and chemical liveners like baking powder, rather than beaten eggs like sponge cakes and angel food cakes to create their fine texture.

Some recipes also call for chemical liveners baking powder or baking soda, milk, buttermilk or sour cream, flavoring extracts, and a pinch of salt to heighten the flavors. Over-mixing, which would cause the cookies to spread flat when baking, is hard to do when creaming butter and sugar for a cake. Since there are so few ingredients in these cakes, use high-quality butter and pure flavoring extracts, measure with perfect accuracy and follow the recipe directions to achieve the best results. This is my favorite style of pound cake, resulting in a firm cake that is great for cubing, slicing or snacking it's highly addictive and is great for dipping in ganaches and creams or sauces. Butter Pound cake recipe

Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
6 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup poppy seed
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

1. Allow butter, cream cheese, and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease and lightly flour a 10-inch tube pan; set aside. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds or until softened. Gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on medium speed about 5 minutes or until very light and fluffy. Add poppy seed and vanilla. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low to medium speed 1 minute after each addition and scraping bowl frequently. Gradually add flour mixture, beating on low speed just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in a 325 degree F oven about 75 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool thoroughly on wire rack. Drizzle Lemon Icing over cake. Makes 16 servings.

Gooey Butter Cake Recipe
Easy butter cake recipe that yields moist and delicious butter cake, with drool some butter cake pictures. Those butter cake slices look so appetizing with afternoon coffee.
For the crust:
1 (18.5 ounce)box of yellow cake mix
1 egg
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter, melted

For the Filling:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound box of confectioners sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with Non-Stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix, the egg, and the melted butter. Pat the dough down into the bottom of the glass baking dish. Set aside. In the same bowl, mix together softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the confectioner's sugar. Beat well and then slowly add the butter until all ingredients are well mixed. Pour onto crust and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
When you go to take it out of the oven, it will seem awfully "gooey" in the center but it will set up a bit as it cools. More tips at http://www.Teegoes.com

Why Movies or TV shows a better way of relaxing after the stressed out office schedule

by serenacorbat

We are living in an environment which is full of stress and mental anxiety. Hectic work schedules, tiring meetings and scolding from bosses arouses irritation which is creates chaos in life. As a result either we end up having a fight with loved ones or colleagues. So the best way of keeping your mind at ease is to have mental relaxation. This is why we require support of entertainment. Movies and TV shows help a lot in moving away of the anxiety and stress. Not only movies or TV shows music is another most important stress buster which releases stress to a greater extent.

Our entertainment industry is growing higher and higher these days. One can see movies or TV shows in different languages and varieties. There are separate channels according to the taste and class of people. Like for children they have ample of channels of all types like cartoon, movie, sports, discovery, animal planet, and science and other educational ones also. For women a huge variety is also available like www.watch-desperate-housewives-online.com. They can also see movies according to their taste. Other channels and TV shows available for women are cookery shows or channels, emotional family drama, shows on fashion apparels and accessories etc. If both these classes have some option then why men and old age group should be left behind. They too have a variety available according to their own taste in the form of news, sports, discovery and other related shows like: www.watch-prison-break-online.net

Our media industry is taking care of everyone in a unique way. They provide such an entertaining atmosphere that even doctors now have complete trust on the fact that fun and enjoyment given by them is supportive to health and is a very good remedy for anxiety. Along with this fact huge amount of career options are also available these days in fields of movies and television.

Different colleges and educational institutions are available nowadays which are enrolling thousands of students every year. These students are moving into various fields. Movies were the only option chosen by students earlier but now their interest is getting diverted towards television industry too. Television jobs have no such limit to the extent that students cannot move to movies afterwards. This is being witnessed in many cases that students shift their career from TV to movies. Money being the best motivator along with other reasons like fame and reputation. Who would not like to get so much only by a job in media? Media offers so much of fun and excitement that many people are found shifting their career stream directly from accountancy to TV show jobs or business to movies etc.

Exclusive websites are also available on internet that offers a flexibility of downloading movies and TV shows according to the viewer’s flexibility. tvshowservers is there to offer such features. The user gets an access to all the famous TV shows and movies and even the flexibility of watching them with comfort. There’s nothing which is not highlighted on this site. So you can add more fun and excitement with this directory and simply enjoy.
