SINGAPORE - I have come to realise that it is alarmingly easy to get stuck in a grocery rut. There are things, like unsweetened soy milk and silken tofu, I order every week from RedMart. Red dragonfruit, which go into smoothies I make with the soy stuff, I get from random fruit stalls I come upon when out and about. Fish collars and buri fillets from Meidi-Ya when they're a good price. Grocery shopping is, you know, routine.

And dreadfully boring.
