WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ELLA?
Food Editor Ella, travels the world in search of the delicious food experiences.
Up and down like a yoyo this year, my travel plans have been thrown into disarray more times than I care to admit. But fianlly, dear readers we are almost at the end of 2021 and I see a glimmer of hope on the horizon. The promise of border openings and the chance to visit some of my favourite places have been dangled before me and my 2022 calendar is set to explode with people to visit, places to go and of course food to eat!
First up I plan to head to Singapore, the small island nation that packs a seriously glamorous foodie punch for its size. I’ll stay at the Fullerton Hotel with its views across the harbour and watch the boats cruise the gentle waters while sipping on a cocktail by the pool.
Iconic Raffles will be on my itinerary with its historic Singapore Sling at the
Long Bar and bags of peanuts which I will shell on the floor as tradition dictates, while take in the glamour of the surroundings.
After an inspiring walk through the Gardens by the Bay, I will head to haker market Makansutra Gluttons Bay
and eat the famous Carrot Cake
(not what you think!), this delectable mix of white radish and eggs is a must on my foodie list. I’ll follow up with Chilli Crab and the traditional Hainanese Chicken, which I plan to eat more than once on my trip.
Wish me luck readers, that my Singapore fling is not just a dream but that it will soon be a reality and when we next meet I’ll be regaling you with tales of my Asian adventure, which will just be the start of my renewed travel life.
