Sandy and I went for New Year's Eve dinner at Dotty's Carribean Corner (!) at Keppel Marina. This rather obscure place is a real gem, hardly anybody has heard of it but it serves decent BBQ seafood and it's always fun dining on the water's edge, in this case facing Sentosa. It's a working marina so tug boats and passenger ferries keep motoring in to dock for the night. As usual we ordered far too much for two of us: chilli crab; BBQ asam prawns; BBQ baby squid; kai lan with garlic; beef, chicken and lamb satay; and a mountain of fried rice!! Insane. We had to take a stroll around the marina afterwards just to digest the food. Since we only finished the last crab claw at about 10pm, we decided to stay on for the countdown and watch the fireworks from there. Next time I'll bring my own wine, the corkage is only $8!! I had to endure flavourless Carlsberg the whole night.
We got a little confused in the kitchen in October what with Sandy being pregnant. We soon realised though that we don't have to give up too many dishes as long as Sandy eats a healthy, balanced diet. Back to the kitchen in November.
