Taking a random tangent, here’s a recipe for the Raffles Hotel’s famous Singapore Sling. A traveler claims that he was at the famous bar in Singapore, and had the recipe’s portions given to him by a bartender. Whether this is an urban legend or not, give it a try.
Why is this bartender’s recipe even being mentioned on GrubGirl? To save you a whopping US$18 the next time any of you frugal travelers are on a layover halfway across our humble shores. Yes, GrubGirl has bitterly made the same mistake, while en route to India. And though we mainly focus on San Francisco bargains, this one’s applicable since San Franciscans tend to love traveling far and wide for culinary delights.
