Everybody likes colorful pictures of delectible food, right? Well, I hope today is not an exception as I present images from our tour group lunch at Singapore’s Beaulieu House.
Additionally today I will present some photos from the grounds at Beaulieu House, so this will be a combination Fun Food and Fun Photo Friday.
So, let’s see if I can make your mouth water and give you the travel itch:

Singapore suffered greatly under Japanese Imperial Army rule during World War II. And to this day Singaporeans blame the United Kingdom and Australia for the Fall of Singapore following inept defense and inadequate resistance despite vastly superior numbers over the Japanese invaders. The resulting casualties were horrendous — 85,000 Common Wealth troops captured, 5,000 troops (mostly Australian) killed. Thousands of Singaporeans of Chinese descent were targeted and killed. Thousands more Common Wealth troops died following horrific treatment as prisoners of war.
Today and Wednesday I will highlight the imagery of this sacred sight beginning with today’s photo gallery:
