Our favorite restaurant in Singapore!

Mama, dies ist unser Lieblingsrestaurant in Singapore. Es heisst "Din Tai Fung" und bietet diese koestlichen chinesesischen Maultaschen und frische Nudelsuppen an.Sie schmecken fast so gut wie Du sie zu Hause immer machst :O)
Das Restaurant ist immer ausgebucht und man muss fast eine halbe Stunde fuer einen Tisch warten.Und das sind die beruehmten chinesischen und mit Schweinefleisch gefuellten Maultaschen. Einfach himmlisch !!!!!

Bastis Lieblingsgericht sind die in scharfer Chillisauce eingelegten Maultaschen :O)

Ohne Worte. Einfach nur Genuss pur!

You can even find a German " Backstube" in Chinatown!

Singapore - A food paradise

While Bastian and I are still waiting for our furniture and goods to be shipped over from San Francisco, we are exploring the Asian kitchen and making some pretty new experience:

Have you ever tried Japanase black sesame or sea salt caramel icecream? Well, it tastes like it looks....Nothing to recommend :O)
With one of our friends, we went to a local restaurant and tried a traditional Singaporean dish called Chilli crab, which is made with hard-shell crabs, and cooked in a thick gravy with a tomato chilli base.
Have you ever tried Durian before? I have to admit, it is one of my favorite fruits....
The hard outer husk is covered with sharp, prickly throns while the edible flesh within emits a distinctive odour, which is regarded as either fragrant or overpowering and offensive. The odour of the ripe fruit is strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. The unusual flavour and odour of the fruit have prompted many people to express diverse and passionate views ranging from deep appreciation to intense disgust.
Beacause of its strong smell, Durian is forbidden in most of the public places in Singapore.

But as you can see, Bastian and I are really enjoying this fruit :O)

A fresh Durian and a lovely coconut, you cannot ask for more......After too much food, Bastian and I enjoyed a day at the pool..............

Last Day in San Francisco

Over the last weeks in San Francisco, Bastian and I were kept busy with organizing our move to Singapore. On our last day, we wanted to do sth special and therefore rented this convertible :O)

It was a beautiful and sunny day. Of course, we drove the Highway Number 1 south to Carmel!

Carmel Beach



Through the many visits that we had in SF, Bastian and I drove quite often along the California Coast. But in spring, it is a totally different experience, as everything flourishes and illuminates through the sun!

Good Bye SAN FRANCISCO!!!!

Baseball Game

On one of our last days in San Francisco, we went to see a baseball game in the new AT&T Stadium. It is a great ballpark with a gorgeous view over the bay!



To be honest, I was more interested in babyboy Hunter Logan Sheffield than in the game :O)

Farewell Dinner @ Nori's!

Our boss Nori organized a farewell dinner at her place. Some of our colleagues enjoyed with us a nice afternoon in the garden.
