...introduction to the wonder of dogs came from my wife Robyn. She's Australian. And Australia, as lovingly recounted in Bill Bryson's In a Sunburned Country, has the craziest, wildest, deadliest, meanest animals on the planet. In a place where every spider and squid can take you down faster than a sucker-punched boxer, you cherish niceness in the animal kingdom. And they don't come nicer than dogs...
Smile’s seafood offerings are similarly impressive. The “Seafood Honeymoon” marries shrimp, squid and scallops to pineapple, mushrooms and honey sauce for a reasonable $10.95. For the health conscious, the ginger salmon is a lean filet steamed with dry batter and topped with snow peas and assorted veggies...
...Less polished and more popular with the older crowd is Guan Hoe Soo at 214 Joo Chiat Road, tel: (65) 6344 2761, one of Singapore's signature Peranakan restaurants fusing Malaysian, Indonesian and Chinese cuisine.

He hugs each man twice and offers up snacks of spicy squid, dried beef and shrimp chips. Jimmy samples the squid, but Dad refuses the food and instead pulls out a half-finished bottle of Famous Grouse whiskey, plus a glass he says he "nicked" from the Grand Hyatt in Hong Kong. Even though Gazza and his father don't actually talk much?John is as taciturn as Paul is chatty...
