left our jobs, went to Asia

Asian "eating on the street" culture is alive and well in Singapore, which can save budget travellers from paying a lot of money for the food.

You can get food in any price range, starting from S$3 curry chicken,

continuing with Singapore chili crab for S$40,

and ending with, well, I don't know what. In any case, it is normal food, not comparable with the haute cuisine which you sometimes get in France:

It is food in normal sizes, and everything tastes equally good.
