Hello Dr President, this is for you!

With Singapore's Presidential Elections done and dusted, and the announcement of our new elected Pres. on Sunday morning, I'd been thinking of making a little something to mark the event. While picking through the social media grapevine, I came across this ripe little pun...


'Make sure you vote for the right Tan. If not, you may end up with a 笨 tan (moron), or worse, a 坏 tan (baddie) who will 捣 tan (mess up) and Singapore will be 完 tan (finished)' 


I've no idea where this pithy statement has come from, but I'm sure whoever came up with this won't mind me sharing it here. I love Tans. When it emerged in the press a couple of years ago that Tans are good for you, I was overjoyed! I keep a supply of them ready at home all the time...

So how about cooking one up for the President?

I could make it plain and simple...

Or dress it in something a bit more fancy.

Reckon this'll make it to the Presidential table?

*For all my non-Chinese, non-Singaporean readers, Tan is a play on 蛋 (dàn). All the candidates for this election were Tans. Naaaah, it's not so funny when I have to explain it, sorry!
