TravellerFoodGuide.com – What makes Singapore food distinctive & a great cultural attraction for travellers is the cross influence of ethnic & cultural diversity of Singapore.
After centuries of cultural interaction, the food is cross influenced by the diverse cultural of Singapore – mainly Chinese, Indians, Middle Easterners, Malays & Indonesians.
What Do We Mean?
For example, a popular Singapore dish – Laksa is the result of experimenting Malay coconut curry, mixing with Chinese ingredients & noodle. Such phenomenon of cross influencing is still going on in modern Singapore as new immigrants continue to shape Singapore food & cuisine.
Food Is National Pastime
Food is a widely recognised as the national pastime beside shopping. Families & friends will group together to hunt down far flung places serving the tastiest dishes. It does not matter if the place is far or the weather is warm. The local mentality is “Die Die Must Try!”.
You may find this pastime overboard. But many hearts have been won after so many foreigners personally savour the dishes so many locals doodle over.
