Singapore’s unofficial national dish — the Chilli Crab — is feted this weekend with its very own (FREE) festival. See how many crabs you can scoff — without scorching your tongue or stretching your tum — and sample other Singaporean goodies such as chicken satay, rice-noodle dishes, Hainanese chicken rice and desserts such as the sweet, ice-based kachang and the tapioca-like bur bur cha cha.

There are also traditional dragon and lion dancing, music workshops, martial-art demonstrations, an art exhibition and magic shows.

For more info, check out the Chilli Crab Festival website…

Sat 1 & Sun 2 Sep (12-6pm) at Brick Lane, London.
Nearest Tube: Liverpool Street

This fish look familiar? Considered a status symbol, you might find it in aquariums in various upmarket East-Asian restaurants, though kept purely as pets, and not for consumption!

I knew they were expensive (hence the status bit), but this 15″ platinum Arowana  is considered to be the most expensive aquarium fish in the world although its owner, Singapore-based Dragon Fish breeder Aro Dynasty, claims to have rejected an offer as high as $80,000 dollars!

Singaporean Darren Soh has a photography portfolio up at FullFramePhotos.com. Exteriors, interiors and portraits from Singapore, the photos portray stereotypically clean environments. There are corporate shots, which are just, well, corporate, but if you don’t mind loading up a pdf document that’s just over 1 MB, have a quick look.
