Volume 2 Nesting 52 Lau Pa Sat Chinatown

Starting from the seafood food stall, these guys began to sweep, under Chen Xing's instructions, Ivan and the little ghost were not polite to him, they could order whatever they wanted, Chen Xing also ran to the food that he had not eaten, looking at the delicious food.

Ivan and the little ghost were responsible for bringing the prepared and cooked food back to the dining table one after another, and Chen Xing was responsible for paying.

Gradually, the table was filled with all kinds of food from all over the world.

Seafood barbecue: grilled shrimp, grilled squid, grilled oysters...... The three plates are full of dipping sauces, including Japanese-style light soy sauce wasabi and Malay satay sauce. Lamb skewers, beef skewers, chicken skewers, and three plates of satay, all of which are sweet and spicy peanut butter sauces with Malaysian characteristics.

Chinese-style seafood: steamed grouper, steamed crab, steamed lobster, hibiscus scallops, braised scallops.

Chinese-style stir-fry: oyster sauce kale, boiled lettuce, mapo tofu, assorted platter.

Malaysian cuisine: sweet and sour sambal fresh fish, sweet and spicy crab soup, assorted shaved ice.

Indonesian cuisine: chicken curry, sweet pea shrimp, stir-fried water spinach, sa cha okra, fish uda.

Indian cuisine: Indian toss and pudding.

Thai cuisine: Thai sweet and spicy beef-grained, Thai tempura.

Vietnamese food: spring rolls, lettuce buns, prawn rolls.

In the end, Captain Pan had to put the two tables together before he could barely put them down. Let the little ghost drag Chen Xing back alive and dead, and only then did he end his crazy ordering journey.

In this way, Chen Xing also came back with 8 cans of Singapore's special Tiger beer, and Lao Pan rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, the food here, except for the skewers, the dishes are not big, and the three young men who can eat are stimulated by this exotic food and environment, with a refreshing cold beer, which is called a storm and clouds, less than an hour, basically empty.

Lao Pan tasted some of every dish, and was basically full, and finally drank a bowl of fresh crab soup, and whispered to the servants: "Have you eaten well? Do you want to drink a bowl of soup to digest and digest?" He was always embarrassed by the people at the adjacent table staring at their empty plates.

The little ghost touched his round belly and smiled stupidly: "It's full." In the past 19 years of life, where has he ever eaten such delicious food?

Ivan also understood what Lao Pan meant, and scratched his hair embarrassedly. He is accustomed to eating the monotonous food of Russia, and he is also conquered by this rich and diverse Southeast Asian cuisine, but his favorite food is the steamed grouper made in China, which is tender and juicy, and the freshness is incomparable, and the whole fish is basically eaten by him.

Chen Xing is okay, since the mutation, if he eats 3 or 4 times more than his peers, it seems to be about the same as Ivan and the little ghost, but in fact, he is only half full. But the unique taste of these Southeast Asian delicacies that he had eaten for the first time still made him have an endless aftertaste, and he decided that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely bring his parents, grandma and Mingyue to taste it again.

In recent months, he has gradually felt that his body has slowly adjusted itself, and he is no longer just relying on the quantity to absorb the nutrients he needs, but also to be picky. For example, if he usually eats bluefin tuna sashimi on a boat, Chen Xing can easily feel full and does not need to eat a lot of food. If you eat regular meat and vegetables, you need to eat more.

However, Chen Xing also vaguely felt that his ability to resist hunger and thirst should be very strong now, but he has not tried it, and he can last for a few days in a state of hunger and thirst.

The four of them drank the last sip of beer in their hands, stood up, rubbed their stomachs with satisfaction, and left the battlefield of "Lau Pa Sat Food".

In the afternoon, according to the tour guide, the four of them went to Queen's Place and visited the colonial era buildings of Singapore, including: Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, the Old Parliament House of the Arts, the Old Supreme Court and City Hall, Raffles Hotel, St. Andrew's Cathedral. Most of them have thick columns, deep terraces and balconies, all of which were built in the style used by the Spanish and British colonies in the past, and the area still retains the architectural remains of that time.

Ivan and Lao Pan didn't think it was unusual, after all, there were similar buildings in Russia, and they had also been active and toured in Europe. Chen Xing and the little ghost are insightful, who made them young, the scenery of life is still very long, and they need to appreciate and think about it step by step.

Towards the end of the evening, the four of them arrived in the famous Chinatown, which is Singapore's "Chinatown".

When it comes to Chinatown, it covers a wide range of areas, including Dapo, South Bridge Road, New Bridge Road, Sago Lane, Smith Road, Tang Po Road, Binta Street and Morse Street. It is roughly north to the Singapore River, west to New Bridge Road, south to "Maxwell" Road and Ketael Road, and east to Cecil Street, so it was first called "Chinatown". Chinatown is called "Chinatown" because the original residents used ox carts to pull water to clean up, hence the name.

There are traditional Chinese food, traditional Chinese daily necessities, old-fashioned pharmacies, pawnshops, barber shops, temples... The most representative Thien Hok Palace is here. However, it was late, and it was not appropriate to go to the temple, so the four of them decided to come to Tianfu Palace tomorrow morning.

You must know that 75% of Singapore are Chinese, so Chen Xing, Lao Pan and Xiao Ghost have a special sense of intimacy here, and they walked around watching the flow of people.

It was dark, but the whole of Chinatown was brightly lit, as if this was the beginning of their day. In addition to the Chinese architecture, you can also see the most famous local Hindu temples on Qiaonan Road, Mariamman Hindu Temple and Jammy Mosque, looking at the tall gate of the Hindu temple carved with colorful Hindu gods, animals, people, etc., adding a strange atmosphere to the Chinese settlement of Chinatown, which is somewhat strange.

The four of them wandered through Chinatown's many alleys, browsing the antique crafts made by the artisans, from which they could see traditional Chinese arts such as calligraphy, carving, puppetry, Buddha statues and incense candle making. The traditional Chinese medicine shop maintains its traditional style, with a dizzying number of small drawers in one compartment. All kinds of unpopular small grocery stores, haberdashery stores, and specialty stores can be seen everywhere, and the plaques are ancient and vicissitudes. There are so many kinds of things here, there are only things you can't think of, and there are nothing you can't see. Even Ivan, who has been to many countries in Europe with Chinatowns, is dizzying and dazzled.

Chen Xing thought in his heart: "It's rare that the things here are so complete, and they are so concentrated, do you want to go back at night to make a list, and your exquisite Sumeru ring needs to increase some inventory." In the future, I will have to do a lot of things, and there should be a lot of emergencies, so I can't wear swimming trunks and a towel every time. Find a convenient time to come back again in the next few days and take up the space of the ring. ”

The four of them ended up on Smith Street in Chinatown, an open-air food street where you can find the best local snacks. The lunch meal has not been digested yet, and everyone has decided to skip dinner, so let's deal with all kinds of snacks.

Pan-fried oysters, stir-fried kuay teow, thin-skinned rolls, satay kebabs, curry fish balls, radish cake, loose hair bak kut tea, durian egg tart, tapioca cake...... Including Lao Pan, the snack boxes in the hands of the four people did not bring heavy samples, everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, saliva splashing, elated, sweating profusely, regardless of the high temperature of 27 or 8 degrees, they were sweating all over.

It's called dealing with it, if you eat it seriously...... Chen Xing didn't dare to imagine that picture.

Ivan shoved the last piece of tapioca cake into his mouth, his brow furrowed.

Chen Xing saw it and asked, "Ivan, what's wrong?

Ivan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We shouldn't be emotionally swayed by appetite, so that if we encounter an emergency, it will be dangerous, it will reduce our reaction speed, today, it has been twice, this is not good." ”

Looking at Ivan with the eyes of Gao Shan, Chen Xing gave a thumbs up, too philosophical, master!

Then, Ivan said to Chen Xing expectantly in a unique Russian tone: "Tomorrow, will we still come to eat?"

Chen Xing was dumbfounded: "......"

In the end, one of them held a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice, and everyone got into a taxi back to Aristotle, which was not very far, but the four of them had walked too much, and were a little tired, and they had eaten too much and were sleepy, so they did not go back by walking.

It was already 21:00 in the evening when we arrived on the ship, everyone went back to the cabin to wash and rest, and the team of those tourists had just returned, and they were very tired.

Captain Pan went to rest after washing, Chen Xing also took a shower, came out shirtless, took out a bottle of cold mineral water from the refrigerator, sat at the desk and prepared to write a diary, his energy was still so strong, he was not sleepy at all.

After briefly writing about the kidnapping incident in the early hours of this morning and the attractions and food of Singapore's half-day tour, Chen Xing drank all the mineral water in the bottle in one gulp, put on a T-shirt and went to the sports area on the deck.

After finishing his daily exercises, Chen Xing felt comfortable and sat down cross-legged on the top of the cockpit.

The small cargo ship next to it was still moored there quietly, with the sea swaying slightly, there were still two policemen on duty in the wheelhouse on board, looking at the two light and extinguished cigarette butts, Chen Xing felt their anxiety, it seemed that the case had not progressed yet, and I didn't know if William Ke would come over tomorrow.

Thinking about what happened in one day is not only emotional. From Sri Lanka to Singapore, from that suffering country to this beautiful, rich, free and democratic country, war and crime are everywhere, but so is beauty and goodness. Is this black and white? Is this light and dark? Is this good and bad?

"Now that I have the ability to be different, shouldn't I do something?" the young man looked at the brilliant lights of the city in the distance, and then at the stars in the sky, and fell into deep thought.
