Practising Safe Sauce

The fridge of a married man :

The Wife was raised on what I call boring food - steamed this, poached that, with less or no oil. (She hates cheese and spicy foods - whenever I have pizza or Indian food, I feel like I'm cheating on her)

So my array of different types of chilli (Chiuchow chilli oil, chicken rice chilli sauce, Thai sweet chilli sauce, homemade sambal belachan) that I have relied on to make bland Hong Kong takeout food palatable, have to be quarantined from the other contents of our fridge.

(The bottle on the left is the more civilised Lee Kum Kee's Sour Plum Sauce and is deemed low-risk)

SG Travel Advice

The wife's brother is planning a weekend getaway to Singapore with his girlfriend at the end of the month and has asked me for some suggestions for what to see and do there. He's what I would describe as a trendy 30-year-old and likes the nightlife, spas and chic dining.

I have these on my list right now. Any suggestions from my legions of adoring readers ? He'll be moving around in taxis and on the MRT so don't suggest any place that's too ulu.

- Rochester Park
- St James Power Station
- Clarke Quay

What other hip nightspots are there to see and be seen ?
