Eating In Singapore

Hunger is a natural appetite of human beings. That is why eating is a universe theme for everyone in this planet. I am a person who is always charmed by delicious food. After coming to Singapore for about one month, I am enchanted by different kind of food here. I should say that if you want know about global cuisine, please come to Singapore.

Chinese Food

Since Chinese people take up about 70% of Singapore’s population, Chinese food also contributes a lot to Singapore’s food. Because most Chinese people came here was original Cantonese and Hakka, as a result, their food become popular here. Chicken rice may be the most outstanding dish here together with coconut rice and duck rice or Hakka dishes. Amazingly, you can also find food from other regions of China, like Hot Pot, roasted chicken, Generally speaking, what kind of food you can find in China, you can also find it here in Singapore.

Western Food

As Singapore is a country which is contended with both eastern and western culture, we can not only enjoy the food from eastern China but also from western countries. No matter it is a 2-dollar chicken cutlet in a food court or a 100-dollar black pepper steak in a luxurious hotel, all western food here taste originally delicious, which can be proved by the fact that almost no western people prefer to have a different kind of food other than western food. I am a person who is fond of western food. I guess this must be a reason that L like Singapore.

Indian Food

To be honest, I haven’t tried Indian food in person. But my friends are always trying to persuade me to try it, because they say it is tasty, which is out of my expectation. In my opinion, Indian food is very special. Examples are followed: In Chinese dishes, the main course is always integrated with rice, which is also the same in Indian dishes. But the rice is totally different, the rice is steamed with other materials which they think it will be nice in this way. For the main course, we Chinese people attach more importance on the image of the dish than Indians. When it comes to the content, they like chicken and fish very much, at the mean time we like pork. But any way, I will try Indian food, I believe I will like it.

Malaysian Food

I like Malaysian food, because the flavor of Malaysian food is quite similar to Sichuan food. They have Malaysian roasted food which remind me of the roasted chicken in Sichuan. They usually prefer to enjoying food accompanied with little chilly sauce which is the ritual for us Sichuan people when having a meal. They like chicken drums, fish, beef ……nearly all kinds of meat and this is the point which is so absorbing to a carnivorous people like me. It’s said that the most valuable contribution Malaysian made to Singapore is their food.

For my concern, like a newspaper says, the most popular sport in Singapore is not soccer but eating. I simply take this as a compliment. Like the multi-culture here, the food in Singapore is also multi-cultural. Anyone who treat eating like a jolly must come to Singapore to dive into this eating trend himself!
