\"relish4\"<\/a>A lot of our visit to Singapore has revolved around eating. Yesterday morning we met Anita. \u00a0Anita offered prayers at her temple for me during my prostate surgery last year, is a long time colleague of Mary’s. She’s writing a book about her community, Indians from Kerala but living for a long time in Singapore. We had breakfast at Relish<\/a>, a restaurant close to Mary’s apartment.<\/p>\n

Lunch was Mary, Kate and I\u00a0at Miyabi<\/a>, a Japanese restaurant on the second floor of the Raffles Town Club. Excellent food.\u00a0Authentic Japanese decor and seating. One side room I noticed was named Fu Yu. Not shorthand, I’m sure, as it would be in English.<\/p>\n

\"tanglin<\/a>In the evening a friend of Mary’s treated us to a pub meal in the Tanglin Club<\/a>, the oldest such club in Singapore, founded in 1865. The Tavern and Fireplace, where we ate, replicates an English pub. I had fish and chips with vinegar on the fries. Just right. These clubs began as old style English gentlemen’s clubs, a bit of home in the tropics. The Tanglin apparently was started for\u00a0English rubber plantation owners and their colleagues.<\/p>\n

\"hash<\/a>We learned about Hash hiking from Mary’s friend. This partial headline from the Guardian gives you the central point: “…a club that takes drinking as seriously as running.” Here are two websites: the guardian article<\/a>\u00a0and one from expat go<\/a>. Though it started in Malaysia among expats concerned about staying trim while drinking plenty of beer, it’s quirky style has given it an international presence.<\/p>\n

Including, I discovered easily, several Colorado clubs.<\/p>\n
