Singapore then Home

Chinese New Year is almost here: Year of the Goat

Lobster Salad

Fried Rice

Chili Pepper Crab

We arrived in warm, humid Singapore about 5:30 pm after our 3-1/2 hour from Hanoi. We are staying the night at the Airport Hotel and then catching our flight home. It goes first to Tokyo (7 hour flight) and after a brief layover on to Los Angeles (10 hour flight). Our trip is almost over. Just the boring (I hope) flight home is left.

We grabbed a taxi and went out for dinner at Jumbo Seafood. This Chinese seafood restaurant is an institution in Singapore. The one we went to is not to far from the airport and is located by the harbor. The complex where it is located has several other large seafood restaurants. Living in Los Angeles with all of its thousands of Chinese restaurants, none that I know of are outdoors. Jumbo has a large outdoor seating area and the restaurants walls are open to the warm sea breeze. We had the traditional Crab in Chili Pepper Sauce, Lobster Salad and Fried Rice. Actually we are lucky to live in Los Angeles, Newport Seafood is better, in our opinion!

The trip was great with the big exception of John’s illness. Cathy and I both look forward to re-reading this blog, as an aid to remembering our trip.
