To be honest, I’m not really a fan of temples. I’m not even a faithful follower of our own religion so you can’t blame me if I don’t get easily amused to other religious sanctuaries. After all, I couldn’t relate as I’m a realist. Therefore, for this blog, I’ll just give a brief background about
If you are ever in Singapore, Cereal Prawn is one of the must-order dishes. Both kids and adults love this because of the crispy and fragrant combo of savory and sweet.
