シンガポールには、良い食物がいっぱいある！

Singapore is a great place to eat Indian food. Though the majority of the population in Chinese, there's a large number of Indians as well.

This restaurant has an interesting concept. It's a kind of charity.

There are no prices on the menu. People just pay what they feel they can or should pay. Someone who is down on their luck can pay 50 yen. Another person who isn't having trouble making ends meet might pay 500 yen. Both of them could eat the same meal.

• down on one's luck 運が傾いて、つきに見放されて (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
• make ends meet 生活の収支を合わせる、収入の範囲内でやりくりする［やっていく］ (definition from Eijiro on the Web)

My host felt that 200 yen was appropriate. That sounds great for people in Tokyo, right?

So, what's in the photo? On the plate, there's rice mixed with lentil curry. Next to the plate, there are three vegetable curries, each of which had a very different flavor. This was a south Indian meal.

Because of all of the great food I ate in Singapore, I gained 2 kgs!
