Singapore – Clarke Quay strikes back.



I’ve been thinking about my previous post on Clarke Quay. What makes me think a couple of posts on a blog puts me in any position to opine on the place? I didn’t even eat there so how could I be so harsh without even sampling the fare?

I returned to Clarke Quay intent on sampling the food and drink on offer. Available is every cuisine from all four corners of the world although nothing really that local seemed to be on offer. There were some up-market Chinese restaurants but their menus seemed to differ from what would be available at the local food courts.

I finally decided upon a place but I can’t remember the name. I suspect I was possibly young, probably naive, most likely in singapore, and definitely under peer pressure when I made the choice. I think it was a western chain restaurant so I just had the basic burger. This came with a choice of coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad; which I considered to be strange options. Where were the fries or baked potato? In the end I plumped for the potato salad. How was it? Again, I must be suffering from amnesia or I was distracted as my mind is blank on how it tasted. I did remember to take a couple of photos….of the food of course!!
