The Great Food Project!

I am not a food guru. Neither am I a flogger (aka food blogger), unlike so many of my fellow men. But I do have a gluttonous streak in me. Unlike those who eat to live, I live to eat. Which explains why I am having issues with my weight right now and need to cut down on the kind of food intake I have.

I enjoy all kinds of food, from hawker fare to local flavours to cosy corners to quaint shops to fine dining. It has always been a wish that one day, I can just explore the whole island, looking for great food and eating my fill.

I think I have a rather high standard when it comes to food. But then again, since when do I not have a high standard in whatever I do? High in my eyes, very high in some other's eyes, but perhaps just mediocre in yet other's eyes. It all depends on perception I guess.

The dear is also a glutton. He loves good food. So we do have a ball of a time sourcing for good places to eat and explore. It is amazing the number of nice places one can find, if only one bothers to look, in every nook and cranny here! Maybe that is why it is always known as a food haven here!

So we have embarked on a project - find four hundred food places of all kinds of cuisine and go there one by one. Perhaps within three years (optimistically) we can actually finish exploring everywhere?

This is what we have come up with so far. Perhaps some of you may have gone to those places, in which case I do appreciate feedback to know if it is worth going! Those in italics are places we have already gone together!
