Generally when we anchor at Montague Harbor we run over to the town of Ganges on Salt Spring Island. Ganges has great eclectic grocery store with all sorts of imported and exotic foods. One of them was a package of noodles called “Singapore Noodles” and all you need to do is add shrimp or chicken. I really enjoyed it and so invented my own Singapore Noodles with Prawns recipe.
