Brave Eats!

Singapore is known for its food, the locals will tell you straight out that Singapore has good food and good shopping. 

As a whole our family is not what you would call "adventurous" in our eating, don't get me wrong, we love to eat good food but..... well, there is a lot of really unusual things that one can consume in this country.

Today for lunch we went to the Adam Road Hawker Center, it has become one of our favorites and we noticed that each of us had a new level of adventure going on in  our food choices. 

Let's start with the least adventurous one: Randi she had a new fresh juice blend of beet, apple, and carrot and then some really good and safe lemon chicken.  The juice was pretty good, different but good and very healthy so it will probably be ordered again.



Next we have Scott:  he is usually the more adventurous one in our family today he tried the Fish Ball Noodle Soup , he said it was good and said he thinks his Mom will enjoy it when she comes to visit us next winter.

This brings us to Keegan:
he tried a bite of the Fish Ball Soup and he even tried what Caleb had today...... wait and see.  Keegan has also stated that he prefers chop sticks over fork and spoon eating now, he is getting very good with his chop stick skills!

OK now for Caleb, I must say this boy amazed me today with his choice of.. MUTTON BRAIN SOUP!! We told him that sheep are not known for their brain power but since there is no Ape Brain soup on the menu he went for the mutton.
Yes, that is indeed a piece of brain on his spoon and yes he did eat it, Scott and Keegan also tried it, as I said, Randi is not so brave.  I was so impressed with Caleb and his bravery that I took a video of his first bite of soup, here it is for you to view. 

Don't fear, if you do come to Singapore there really is a lot of good food to eat, and if you are so inclined maybe you too will try some Mutton Brain Soup, or perhaps some Pig Organ Soup a local favorite.
