Orange juice is so nice … but not when it has some horrible slimy fruit pieces inside *shivers*
The TV in our guestroom ;P
Singapore is constructing like crazy.
A typical Bus stop :)
In the near of the hostel
The Arqueen Hotel, next to my hostel … and way too expensive for me ;P
The building with our hostel (the green-yellow one)
The little street to our hostel. Okay, that is not the best part (and richest) of Singapore, but I didn’t care. For me it was okay :)

Dumplings:
The jiaozi 饺子 is a common Chinese dumpling which generally consists of minced meat and chopped vegetables wrapped into a piece of dough. Popular meat fillings include ground pork, ground beef, ground chicken, shrimp, and even fish. Popular mixtures include pork with Chinese cabbage, pork with celery, lamb with spring onion, leeks with eggs, etc. Jiaozi are usually boiled or steamed. Jiaozi is a traditional dish eaten during Chinese New Year's Eve and some other festivals. Family members gather together to make dumplings. It is also eaten for farewell to family members or friends.
Another type of Chinese dumpling is made with glutinous rice. Usually, the glutinous rice dumplings 粽子 [zongzi] are triangle or cone shaped, also filled with some red beans, Chinese dates or a little meat. Glutinous rice dumplings are traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival.
If dumplings are fried in a small amount of oil, they are called guotie 锅贴 or potstickers. Compared to wonton 云吞s (dumplings served boiled in a soup), jiaozi have a thicker skin and are bigger. Wontons are wrapped in rectangular dough while jiaozi are wrapped in round dough.
Chinese cuisine includes sweet dumplings. Tangyuan are smaller dumplings made with glutinous rice flour and filled with sweet sesame, peanut, red bean paste. Tangyuan may also be served without a filling. There are also other kinds of dumplings such as har kao, siew mai, small cage-steamed bun (xiaolongbao), pork bun and crystal dumpling.
