Derek had never been much of a seafood eater, though his wife Joann absolutely was. This required a sort of compromise when dining out as Joann had a preference for pure seafood establishments and Derek couldn’t find anything off the menu there. So, generally they would opt for a combination steak and seafood restaurant when Joann was in her nearly uncompromising mood. And she rarely was able to enjoy sushi because Derek would have nothing to do with it so they couldn’t go to a sushi place. All of this changed however, two months ago when Derek had to fly to Singapore for a business meeting.

He had spent so much time in the past year traveling that he felt like he lived more in hotels than in his own home. He was away a lot and he missed his wife and his house. So, he managed to talk Joann into going with him on his business trip. This actually didn’t require any convincing. Joann was happy to go though she pretended it was a problem because she knew it would benefit her for Derek to think he was doing her a favor. It worked and when Joann finally agreed and said yes, Derek was incredibly grateful and would spend as much time as possible making her happy while they were there.

As it turned out this was incredibly easy to do. Both Derek and Joann loved Singapore and she spent her days in the parks, both Fort Canning and Pasir Ris while Derek was in his meetings. She loved the bird watching tower in Pasir Ris and also rented a bicycle one day and rode around the pond. She enjoyed watching the children play and the parks were always full of activities. The one thing she asked Derek to do was go with her to a sushi place while they were there. He reluctantly agreed, though he knew he owed it to her. Oddly, he was so happy in Singapore that he was inspired to try a bit of Joann’s roll. And to Derek’s utter and unbelievable, by both of them, amazement, he actually loved it. This was the beginning of a new food obsession for Derek and great new transition for Joann who would be able to eat sushi regularly from then on. And she always had sushi Singapore to thank.
