Yes, it is Thanksgiving but you don't find the things you normally associate with the holiday here in Singapore. The crispness of the fall air, the large family gatherings around a table laden with delicious food, "the football" ... all are a world away.
People in Singapore do not celebrate Thanksgiving (not surprising given it's unique American roots with the Indians and settlers sharing a meal in harmony and giving thanks). Normally a turkey can not be found here but we did discover a couple of stores that had temporarily shipped in a limited stock of frozen turkeys for the small number of ex-pats that live in Singapore.

Unfortunately a 10 lb. turkey cost about U.S. $40 so we decided to go another route.
The rotisserie chickens were less than U.S. $3.50 each so we just bought two of those instead.
Our Thanksgiving meal consisted of the following menu.
Roasted pumpkin soup
