A week in Singapore is hardly enough time to sample all the delicious food that you can find throughout the city. There’s everything from simple chicken and rice cooked up at cramped little stalls in the bowels of Chinatown to sophisticated fare served at the classiest of fine restaurants. The one thing you’ll find in common among the wide variety of influences (Malaysian, Indian, Thai, Chinese, and Portuguese to name just a few) is that it’s all really good food. Singaporeans know their food and they don’t tolerate anything that isn’t up to par. Bad places go out of business and a sure way to get a good meal is simply to join in any long line of people you happen to see waiting for dinner. Here’s a taste of a few of the dishes I had the opportunity to sample over my short stay in this exceptionally appetizing country.















Mmm mouth watering. When I visited friends took me to several food places
They seem to eat most dinners out
My friends who live in Singapore do the same thing. It’s actually cheaper to eat out than to buy groceries and to cook, not to mention much faster. I would miss cooking, though. Sometimes you just want to create your own meals. Singapore is great for both. There are some fantastic markets where you can buy just about anything you’d want. You just have to know where to look and focus on local ingredients. It’s a fantastic city (and country!) for food, either way.
