Food in Singapore
5/25/2006
OK. Singapore sucks as a tourist destination. Sorry Dale, I should've told you this before you left. There's pretty much nothing to see that's natural - most of the tourist sites are man-made and relatively nondescript - present in virtually every large city (maybe that's the marvel?).
But that said, the food is something else entirely. I got bored of the food in Japan after a week. In Singapore though, the fusion of Chinese, Malay and Indian food make for something really special. My sister and I were pondering why the food was so special in Singapore. Maybe it's just the fact that we grew up eating it - so it's "comfort food"... Anyway - I made a list of the food I had when I was back. A good list to try if you're in Singapore. I did get most of it at the Penang Buffet at the Copthorne King's Hotel
- Chee Kueh
- Laksa
- Roti Prata
- Soup Kambing
- Popiah
- Otah
- Satay
- Prawn Noodles (Beach Road)
- Hokkien Mee
- Chow Kway Teow
- Chicken Rice
- Nonya Kueh
- (little desserts)

It's a good thing you didn't try and drag me to eat durian with you when we went out to lunch together here in Singapore!!!!
I agree that Singapore sucks as a tourist destination if youre looking for places of natural beauty... basically because theres nothing natural left! to be politically correct... nothing much natural left...
Good lists and description of food tho- all available in Singapore
