What wonderful timing. I got a really nasty stomach bug on Monday night (I bet that was from YOU Lara!) and was still feeling pretty bad on Tuesday. By Tuesday night I was feeling almost human again but later on was terribly sick on the plane. Fortunately for the other passengers I did make it to the toilet without incident, although I did nearly pass out in the aisle! It was a rough night to say the least and poor Clive had to carry all the bags as I was feeling so washed out.
We got a taxi to the cheap dive we had booked into at 4am (selected mainly because of the 24hr check-in facility) and lo and behold, nobody came to answer the buzzer. Not Happy! Fortunately a very helpful taxi driver took us to another place he knew of a short distance away and we were settled in and asleep in no time.
So here we are in Singapore and I'm strictly on white rice for the duration :-(
Clive will have to eat for the 2 of us. We are in the Galang area which has a lot of Malay
eating places and sadly, one of my favorite desserts called roti. Roti are like a cross between a pancake and a flakey pastry, the dough is tossed in the air until it is a paper thin disc of nearly a metre wide, then deep fried -usually folded around a fruit filling but sometimes made into a sinle layer crispy pancake and smothered in syrup or sweetened condensed milk. Dee-licious!
I saw a new version today which looked a bit like a roulade stuffed with fruit and topped with lashings of cream, ice-cream and the obligitry sweetened condensed milk.
But not for me this time...
As Clive kept saying on Tuesday a stomach bug is very slimming, so instead of smacking him (I do feel a bit weak at the moment) I will wish him the same good fortune in weight loss!
PS thanks for the elephants Colleen, so cute!

Hey, that's really sad about you not being able to enjoy a roti. Yogurt is good for getting rid of stomach bugs.
