Fish Tales

My life in Singapore Taipei. And then some.

Expensive. That sums up my grocery shopping experience in Singapore during the last eighteen months.

Especially for cherries.

Why must my favorite fruit cost so much!

A conversion for those who need it:

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds.

$47.90 Singapore dollars = $34.03 US dollars

Do the math.

Rainier Cherries cost nearly $15.50 USD a pound!

That’s a lot, especially considering cherries are in-season in Australia right now.

By my calculations, that’s about $13.50 a pound more than I’m used to paying.

That’s the pits.

    Sure, expensive. Sounds cheap compared to Japan.

    Where did you get them in Singapore?
