I had said that an upcoming post would be about what I’m reading and the luxury of having the time to read, but I thought I would do a quick post in anticipation of a my foodie husband’s guest blog post, which is also forthcoming.

While renting a apartment here is *very* expensive, it’s relatively very inexpensive to eat here. The hawker centers are everywhere; we are never more than a 10 minute walk from one. I got this meal for about US$3.50:

The ‘famous’ Chicken Rice dish, with a side of bok choy and broth. All for about US$3.50.

It’s no wonder that people don’t really cook at home. We certainly have been doing less cooking at home, but that is also because of our increased commute times with having to take the train/bus (and running to catch them – see the last post). The four of us are quite hungry by the time we get to a train station and getting a meal there is much easier than waiting until we get home.
