Re: What do people miss about their country of origin?
I must have missed this OP. I think you need to get a bit of perspective and take on board that you're moving to a small country with lots of expats from around the world, rather than moving to some remote planet.WanWanWan wrote: We aren't sure if chili con carne, or camembert, are easily available, and we are pretty sure lamingtons or Vegemite will be permanently out of the question.
You'll find Chili-c-c in restaurants. You can also get all the ingredient, and it is a simple dish to cook.

(This is going to be a top-notch version I'm sure; you could find a simpler recipe if you're newish to cooking, maybe try www.food.com or Google for one).
Camembert, of course it's available. Cold Storage.
p.s. I even found a canned version of Chili-c-c stocked at Cold Storage...

Cafe Iguana on Clarke Quay is pretty good Mexican food. Not Texmex but still decent.amariem wrote:I miss Mexican food. I ordered some nachos at a "Mexican" restaurant on 6th Ave and they were terrible. Not even close to being Mexican.
Seriously, if anyone wanted to open a real authentic Mexican restaurant here I bet it would do good business.
+1 - and coincidentally enough, I had really good Mexican last night, in of all places, the Arab Street area.Strong Eagle wrote:Cafe Iguana on Clarke Quay is pretty good Mexican food.

It is good, above average even by US-Mexican standard, but not mind blowing except the price. The "taco platter" there is about $30sgd. Yes, the same one with four small tacos you'd get at any taqueria in California (or most of the US I imagine) for $5-6usd.Strong Eagle wrote:Cafe Iguana on Clarke Quay is pretty good Mexican food.

btw i found some proper Aussie beers [ not fosters] and a proper pub with proper live rock musicJR8 wrote:England:

Proper beer
Quality food
Pubs
Politeness, as default

The thing is I'm going to shut up about it. I don't want to ruin this sanctuary I've managed to find.
I'm not a fan of killing things but I will agree with you about everything else you've listed.
To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

I'm curious to know why the UK is a terrible place? surely the home of football, pub, some great music bands and countryside can't be a bad place to live?alittlerisky wrote:Hear f*****g f*****g hear.Steve1960 wrote: That's it, the UK has nothing else I desire
I only lived there for 14 years before I worked out that it's terrible. Haven't been back since 2005 I think.
