"Okay!" I have been with Xiao Zhao for so many days, and I have a lot of trust in Xiao Zhao, the young man is down-to-earth and reliable, friendly to people, very easy-going in communication, and very enthusiastic.
"I'll take you to see the Singapore Fashion Festival, Singapore is a very fashionable city, but also learn from Europe and the United States, some fashionable clothes, will be sold in Singapore, although it can not be compared with the fashion city of Paris, France, Milan, Italy, but Singapore's fashion is also very fashionable and avant-garde, young people also like it very much, there is a lot of potential to buy. ”
Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to see a fashion show in Singapore, and saw the models on the catwalk, walking catwalks, as Xiao Zhao said, the fashion on the models is indeed glamorous and very fashionable.
The lighting of the fashion show is also very dazzling, shining on the stage, the stage effect is very good, it can be seen that there is a mature business atmosphere, Xiao Zhao said that there are relatively high-end fashion shows, there are also fashion shows for the public at preferential prices, aimed at different customer groups, customers can choose to buy according to their own economic conditions.
Zhou Sen took a look, there are still a lot of styles and colors to choose from, especially women's clothing, women's clothing styles are really numerous, more than men's clothing, and the colors are very trendy, before wanting to buy clothes, Xiao Zhao also took Zhou Sen to many shopping malls in Singapore, and there are still a lot of choices.
"There are also food festivals in Singapore, which are also popular among Singaporeans, which attracts tourists from all over the world because food is so appealing to people. ”
Zhou Sen smiled, "Yes, it's so difficult to refuse food, and I also like Singaporean food!"
Xiao Zhao said: "Singapore's food, in fact, a combination of many local cuisine, we all know that there are more Chinese in Singapore, absorb some of the Chinese food traditions, come to Singapore Chaoshan people, Fujian people are more, so in terms of food, there are also food over there, Cantonese people like to make soup, I have also introduced before that there are medicinal herbs put into the soup to boil, very popular." ”
"Influenced by Malaysian and Indian cuisine, as well as Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish and other cuisines, it can be said that Singapore cuisine is a hodgepodge, and as more and more people come to Singapore for business and trade, they also bring food culture with them. ”
Listening to Xiao Zhao's introduction, Zhou Sen knows that there are Chinese, Malays, Indians, and Western Europeans in Singapore, all of whom have their own eating habits and food cultures.
Xiao Zhao said: "Last time I took you to eat more Chinese food, Chaoshan, Fujian around the food you must be very familiar with, I will take you to taste, other different foods!"
"Good!"
The two talked very happily, Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to a Malaysian restaurant, ordered a few Malay dishes, including Malay rice, the method is very interesting, put the rice on the green leaves, chop the green leaves, stir in the rice, and then use a round bowl to put a shape, turn it upside down and buckle it on the white plate, the round rice ball, it is very beautiful.
Then make some matching, put some meat, such as pork ribs and the like, and then match it with shredded carrots, red and red, which looks good, braised pork ribs, green cabbage leaf rice balls, plus red shredded carrots, which looks very good.
Xiao Zhao said: "Actually, Malay rice is quite simple, no different from our common home-cooked fried rice in China, and often put some sausages, with red, orange and red carrots, and then put some green leafy vegetables such as green vegetables, this kind of vegetable rice can be seen in our ordinary Chinese people's homes." ”
"There are also some restaurants that are more suitable for mini buffets when family and friends get together, where everyone chooses their favorite food and puts it on their own plate with rice, and they can get their favorite side dishes by themselves, and you can also get hot sauces and seasonings according to their taste. ”
"Malay food is more casual, not too particular about the shape of exquisite, compared with Chinese food, it is more casual, some dishes, just like a homely meal, there are no varieties of Chinese food, and very particular about the shape of carving, Chinese high-end restaurant chefs sometimes use radish to carve a shape It takes a lot of effort and time, and the carving is indeed very good!"
"Speaking of some Malay food, let's take a look at Singapore's Indian-influenced curry fish head, which is said to have been pioneered by local Indians and cooked for Chinese people who love to eat fish head, and the Chinese found that the taste was not bad, so they began to like this dish, and then slowly the friends around them came into contact with more, and there were more people who tasted it, and people liked to communicate with each other, you introduce me, I introduce you. ”
Gradually, Malays and Indians began to fall in love with the dish and create their own different styles, and the fame of the fish head curry began to spread. ”
"Everyone knows that Indians like to cook with curry, curry is an authentic Indian specialty, and the fish head is the favorite of the Chinese, and the Chinese also make chopped pepper fish head, so it is easy to accept this dish. ”
Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to eat this Indian-flavored delicacy, and Zhou Sen made a special observation, a large piece of grouper head or red snapper head as the main ingredient, first stir-fried with ginger, shallots and garlic, and then simmered in a thick curry sauce.
The fresh and tender fish head and the spicy curry soup are spicy and sweet, fragrant, spicy and strong, although spicy, but unusually smooth, which also jumps with the equatorial sunshine like a bright and swaying multiple spice taste, with crispy scones full of soup and sent to the mouth, only to feel the taste full, so that your internal organs seem to wake up with the taste buds, delicious is really delicious!
"Then as more and more people ate it, it became a Singaporean delicacy!"
Zhou Sen smiled, "It seems that food also has a development process, and more and more people will bring different food cultures!"
"It's just a little different between the dishes, the curry made with Indian is heavier, they also like to put some side dishes and seasonings, China's chopped pepper fish head, also put in the chopped pepper, this is one of China's more famous peppers, used for the deliciousness of the seasoning road, if the fish head does not put some chili peppers, the taste can not be delicious, plus some monosodium glutamate, the taste is more delicious. ”
"Yes, in fact, there is a bit of similarity between the food, the ingredients are fish heads, but the ingredients and seasonings are different, the dishes are different, with certain local characteristics, and you can't eat so authentic in other places. ”
