The Food
Singaporean cuisine is indicative of its diverse cultures. The food is influenced by
Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Filipino, Middle Eastern, and Western
traditions. Delicious dishes can be easily found at the numerous easy to find food courts
better known as hawker centers. Prices range from dish to dish but they are
known to be inexpensive about $3 to $6 SGD. My brother and I plan to
try 3 different dishes each day.

Here are a couple dishes we've been told are a must have while we're there;
Hainanese Chicken Rice - a Chinese dish comprised of flavored rice and boiled chicken.
Roti Prata - This is a crispy multi layered pancake originally from southern India, served with all types of curry such as fish, mutton, and chicken curry.
Nasi Lemak - a Malay dish comprised of rich rice cooked in coconut milk and served with fried anchovies, fired peanuts and an egg. Usually eaten for breakfast.
Singapore is also known for exotic fruits, so we will definitely be snacking on those all day everyday. I hear they taste sweeter than the sweetest honey!
