Eating in Singapore
Eating is a cultural past time in Singapore. In fact, when Singaporeans greet each other they usually use the expression “have you eaten yet?” This around the clock activity cuts down barriers and also makes for an amazing range of quality cuisine.
No matter what your tastes, you’re going to find something you like in this cultural melting pot of a city. There are districts known for their particular cultural theme such as Chinatown and even an Indian strip that makes the best curries in the country. Head to places like Clarke Quay for some of the best western food you’ve ever eaten alongside restaurants serving exceptional Chinese, Indian, Malay, Eurasian, Turkish and whatever other cuisine you can imagine.
Many people come to Singapore for the culture and the shopping, but you could just as easily come here simply to eat. It would still be well worth the trip.
