What does the Singapore Food Trail offer by way of a culinary experience and atmosphere? Does it bring you back to the nostalgic past? Or is it a modern food centre decorated with vintage dressing?

Bookjunkie visited the new Singapore Food Trail at the Singapore Flyer and took so many pictures, that it had to be split up into three posts. Check out the posts here and the food reviews here (Part 1) and here (Part 2).

Honestly, I would have been totally blown away if just two small items had been included. I have been yearning for years to just catch a glimpse once again of the triangular shaped Daisy Milk carton which has been out of production for years and the Magnolia Strawberry Milk in a bottle which to me was the best tasting milk as a child – it tasted like a very light milk shake and was just out of this world. I guess I was just expecting too much.

I did like that the F&N drinks in a bottle were included. Every Christmas at my cousin’s house and the one fancy Chinese Wedding dinner I attended has F&N Orange – a lovely fizzy soda in a glass bottle. I recall that my sister loved Miranda Strawberry which was also in a bottle. I used to drink Sarsi out of a bottle as a kid and it was so good on a hot afternoon. Just not the same from a can.

    Thanks so much for the blog love.

    I was fortunate enough to live in the wonderful 70′s and 80′s so I do get very nostalgic about Singapore’s past :)

    I wouldn’t trade being a child of the 70′s for anything. It was fabulous! Those maxi dresses and visiting the red brick National Library and after that having a bottle of strawberry milk at the nearby hawker centre….sigh.
