NY Times Does (More) Singapore Foodporn

Nice, titillating piece in the Times this Sunday, about food in Singapore. R.W. Apple Jr. runs through some old favorites and new developments, covering quite a bit of Singaporean cuisine's impossibly broad spectrum of flavors.

There's Iggy's, "the best" but "least well known" of the city's latest crop of elegant restaurants, with its marbled goby tempura and tropical fruit terrine, and My Humble House, with its artfully named dishes like "Drifting Clouds of the Autumn Sky," a.k.a. green tea dumplings. Yes, there's lots of hip, modern fusion going on, but he also gives nods to Singapore's street food and Il Lido (pictured), an Italian restaurant on the island of Sentosa.

The article also links us to Chubby Hubby, a rocking Singapore foodblog that contains additional information on (and pictures of) many of Apple's picks.
