The Top 10 Best things about living in Singapore

At 10.....

Chicken Rice.

Not to be confused with fried chicken rice, Singapore's local dish of chicken rice consists of, well, chicken and rice.  The chicken comes in a choice of roast or boiled, and breast or leg meat. The rice is cooked in a flavoured broth and takes on a unique flavour.

The best place to buy your chicken rice is on River Valley Road at either the infamous Boon Ton Key or my favorite, Five Star.

At about $4 a plate it's a bargain and very tasty - I doubt very much that it's the healthiest meal you can eat but it sure is nice.

Run for Hope 2012 Singapore

This Sunday is the annual Run for Hope, a charity run raising funds and awareness for Cancer.

I will be participating in the 10k run along with some colleagues from work.  I don't hold out great expectations for a good time, but I'm looking forward to having some fun and contributing to a good cause.
