Singapore is a little island city-state on the bottom tip of the Malay peninsula in Southeast Asia. Due to its strategic location, it has had numerous cultural influences, not only leading it to become one of the most powerful and important sea ports in the world, but also the melting pot of cultures has made it a diverse international city, abounding with delicious food. Food is one of the biggest pillars of Singaporean culture, and one of the most awesome things about traveling, is that you’ll e surrounded by an entire city of other food lovers!

In Singapore, there are many halal foods that can be found especially for Muslims, so they do not have to worry about it. There are also Muslim restaurants that are selling Roti Canai, Rice, and Noodles, it will surely remind you of Malaysia because the food is similar to our country. Not to forget about Malaysia’s most favorite drink, tea and coffee. Even though those foods are for the Muslim, however many tourists or locals like to eat it without problem. The price is also affordable but no harm in negotiating!

The tourists will also get the chance to experience enjoyable and peaceful environment while eating. This is because, the restaurants are being surrounded by tall buildings, the lights and the people that are walking around Singapore. The tourists also can feel the friendly environment by the owner of the restaurant or tourist while enjoy the food.

Furthermore, the majority of the Singaporeans are Chinese, thus most of the local food are mostly their specialties such as Bak Kut Teh, Hokkien Mee and Chicken Rice.
