The Almighty Po

I really thought I was past taking pictures of signs. We've seen a few lately that have given us a chuckle or two - the picture of the toddler squirting the loud train-rider with his bottle, much to the delight of fellow travelers, the silouette of the guy holding a semi-automatic weapon to a trespasser...stuff like that. We have matured, tho, and we stopped photographing them. Until today....

My latest and greatest food discovery is the Po. The po is killer. It is a sweet puffy white breadish thing with filling inside. The choices are pretty much endless as the po can be either savory or sweet. The red bean po, for example, is a lovely desserty thing that melts in your mouth. The chicken po, on the other hand, is a delicious mixture of meat and spices that will pretty much blow your head off. Yum.

Today, in our travels to the Chinese Garden, we stumbled upon this little stand - "Chomp" - that specialized in little snacky food for the weary sightseer. They had a variety of stuff - chicken on a stick, curry puff things and the ever-popular Po. And when we saw the sign, we were sold! Imagine our relief when we noticed that this particular stand, in the middle of a metro station in Singapore, is sensitive to the needs of it's vegetable oil! Yes, you read correctly. These little foodstuffs are fresh, low in fat, high in fiber and the oil they are made with is never abused.

And I thought the Singaporeans ignored PC. I stand corrected.
