Word on the street is that everyone is taking active steps to support the floundering F&B industry in Singapore. Good on all of us. That it takes a pandemic for us to shift our focus on appreciating our rich and varied heritage of food is unfortunate. But I choose to see the silver lining of this very gray cloud and understand that this current situation we’re in, is opportune for us to lend support to the hardworking folks in the hawker centers who are hardest hit by COVID-19.  Are there more than the ones listed here that deserves mention? Without a doubt. And you can definitely find those lists of hawker delivery floating about the internet that have been created by other local food publications. However, due to limitations of space, I can but only pick 10 that I feel deserve a special mention due to the uniqueness of their offerings and for going out of their way to make sure that us Singaporeans, are not left feeling starved and craving for the comforts of the outside.  Read more news slot Phuket Town Mookata

    WARSAW (Reuters) - It has become difficult for Poland to hold its presidential election on May 10 as planned, Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin said on Monday, blaming the opposition for delaying works on legislation that would allow for a postal ballot during the coronavirus epidemic. In April the lower house of parliament, where the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has a majority, backed a plan to conduct the presidential election on May 10 by postal ballot. But the legislation has still to be approved by the Senate, which is controlled by the opposition. "May 10 is difficult," Sasin, who is also State Assets Minister, told private radio Zet, adding that PiS is now considering holding the vote on May 17 or May 23, both allowed by the constitution. "A week ahead of the election Poles do not know when the election is held. It is the opposition and the Senate who are responsible for this". Continue reading at slot  

  WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top U.S. health official Anthony Fauci will not testify next week to a congressional committee examining the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, the White House said on Friday, calling it "counterproductive" to have individuals involved in the response testify. The White House issued an emailed statement after a spokesman for the House of Representatives committee holding the hearing said the panel had been informed by Trump administration officials that Fauci had been blocked from testifying. "While the Trump administration continues its whole-of-government response to COVID-19, including safely opening up America again and expediting vaccine development, it is counter-productive to have the very individuals involved in those efforts appearing at congressional hearings," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement. "We are committed to working with Congress to offer testimony at the appropriate time." Fauci's testimony was being sought for a May 6 hearing by a House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees health programs, said spokesman Evan Hollander. The Washington Post first reported that Fauci would not testify. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been one of the leading medical experts helping to guide the U.S. response to the highly contagious virus that has swept across the United States. Continue reading this news at pgslot
