City Chickens
Fancy buildings.
Coming from Metro Manila into Singapore for me is kind of like being wheeled into an emergency room. It's a clean place, and you might have many existential thoughts.
A housing building.
There are neighborhoods though-- pockets of immigrants. Where you can see chickens on the street. That's where you go to soothe your aching need for chaos.
Chickens eating scraps outside a Geylang kopi tiam.
A typical menu in the back.
