I think Chinese vegetarian food is spectacular. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years.
Lingzhi Greens in Singapore is a Chinese fine dining vegetarian spot that hits it out of the park. I always enjoy going there
Their herbal soups are also very good

Public housing in Singapore: 40-50 floor apartments on the left. Multi-storey parking on the right. Parking building has rooftop garden. Ground floor has daycare for children, and seniors. Bridge connects from residential to rooftop garden.
Within walking distance: public swimming pool and gym, costs US$1.20 - $2 per entry, cheaper in a yearly pass.
There are 5 supermarkets within walking distance, several wet markets, and laundromats on the ground floor of many buildings.
When it’s raining, there are buses that take you the 3 min ride to the main subway station. (Otherwise a pleasant 8 min walk, largely covered)

The island where locals say #datacentres are taking their water
Muhammad Islahuddin, #Batam, and
Kelly Ng, #Singapore
" 'Water! Water!' the crowd shouted as it stormed a compound with data centres, armed with empty plastic bottles and jerry cans.
"There were about 300 of them, all residents on the Indonesian island of #Batam, and they were furious that the taps at home had run dry, while the data centres in the new #NongsaDigitalPark seemed to have enough water to protect their machines from overheating.
" 'Not a single drop has come through our taps for the last three months... Our water supply had been reliable until the data centres came,' Dewi Susanti, one of the protesters, told the BBC.
"People in her village, #BakauSerip , were now depending on tanker trucks that dispensed 'dirty, cloudy and smelly' water, she said.
"Batam's water utility told the BBC it was working to improve supply, but did not comment on whether the disruption was linked to demand from the data centres."

Singapore plans to merge several islands into a new “western island” for industrial development.
Conservationists warn the mega-project could bury up to 60% of the country’s remaining coral reefs, which serve as ecologically vital “mother” reefs.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Eravamo in aereo, è arrivata una turbolenza forte. Mio marito mi è caduto addosso, poi è morto e io mi sono fratturata la colonna vertebrale. Ora voglio la verità”: la storia di Linda Kitchen e la causa alla compagnia aerea
“Ho visto il mio Kindle e il telefono di Geoff cadere a terra e ho pensato che l’aereo stesse precipitando“. Sono passati più di due anni, ma Linda Kitchen ricorda perfettamente quei pochi secondi che hanno cambiato la sua vita.
I fatti. Siamo a bordo del volo Singapore Airlines SQ321, partito da Londra Heathrow e diretto a Singapore. Sopra il Myanmar, il Boeing 777-300ER viene investito da una violentissima turbolenza. Geoff, 73 anni, muore durante il volo. Linda, oggi 74enne, riporta gravi fratture alla colonna vertebrale.
Ora Linda ha deciso di fare causa alla compagnia aerea. Come racconta The Independent, Kitchen ha avviato un procedimento davanti all’Alta Corte britannica per ottenere un risarcimento per le lesioni riportate. Un’altra azione è stata depositata per conto dell’eredità del marito. E non è l’unica: anche altri passeggeri del volo hanno intrapreso iniziative legali contro Singapore Airlines.
È la prima volta che Kitchen racconta pubblicamente con tanti dettagli ciò che accadde quel 21 maggio 2024. Lei e Geoff, sposati da 52 anni, stavano partendo per una vacanza di sei settimane tra Singapore, Indonesia e Australia. Il volo era iniziato normalmente. C’era stata un po’ di turbolenza sopra l’Europa e qualche scossone durante il viaggio, ma niente che lasciasse presagire quello che sarebbe successo una decina di ore dopo il decollo.
L'articolo “Eravamo in aereo, è arrivata una turbolenza forte. Mio marito mi è caduto addosso, poi è morto e io mi sono fratturata la colonna vertebrale. Ora voglio la verità”: la storia di Linda Kitchen e la causa alla compagnia aerea proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.
“We were on a plane, there was a strong turbulence. My husband fell on top of me, then he died and I fractured my spine. Now I want the truth”: the story of Linda Kitchen and the lawsuit against the airline.
I saw my Kindle and Geoff’s phone fall to the ground and I thought the plane was crashing. More than two years have passed, but Linda Kitchen remembers perfectly those few seconds that changed her life.
The facts. We are on board Singapore Airlines SQ321, departing from London Heathrow and bound for Singapore. Above Myanmar, the Boeing 777-300ER is hit by violent turbulence. Geoff, aged 73, dies during the flight. Linda, now 74 years old, sustains serious spinal fractures.
Now Linda has decided to sue the airline. As The Independent reports, Kitchen has initiated a legal proceeding before the British High Court to obtain compensation for her injuries. Another action was filed on behalf of the husband’s estate. And she is not the only one: other passengers from the flight have also taken legal action against Singapore Airlines.
It is the first time that Kitchen publicly recounts in such detail what happened on May 21, 2024. She and Geoff, married for 52 years, were departing for a six-week vacation in Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia. The flight had begun normally. There had been some turbulence over Europe and some jolts during the journey, but nothing that foreshadowed what would happen ten hours after take-off.
The article “We were on an airplane, strong turbulence arrived. My husband fell on me, then he died and I fractured my spine. Now I want the truth”: the story of Linda Kitchen and the lawsuit against the airline comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.

A slightly annoying thing about travelling in #singapore and #malaysia is how often I was warned about interesting animals and phenomena I did not witness. Of these I only saw monkeys

A few less widely known things about #Singapore on the occasion of its 61st birthday.
- We have urban otters!
They disappeared briefly but you can now see them lots of places. There are various families named for the location they’re from, almost like mafia family names. ‘Bishan otters’ and there’s one named for a club (‘Zouk family otters’)
