After immigrating to Singapore, I found that local people attach great importance to "eating"

After immigrating to Singapore, you will find that, like all China people, eating? This is a very important part of Singaporean life. So is Singapore? Food paradise? Pretend to be. Singapore, like Hong Kong, is a model of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures in Asia. Eat? The aspect is very outstanding. In Singapore, you can eat delicious food from all over the world. No matter where you come from, you can always find delicious food that suits your taste in Singapore. Of course, the most distinctive feature of Singapore is the local food, including Chinese food, Indian food and malaysian cuisine. Since the ancestors of Chinese Singaporeans mainly came from Fujian (mainly in southern Fujian and Chaoshan areas), Guangdong and Hainan in China, the Chinese food here mainly consists of dishes from these places, such as Hainan chicken rice, stuffed tofu, fried kway teow, bak Kut teh and Fujian noodles. Chinese food in Singapore is influenced by local Malays, and it also combines some characteristics of Malay diet, such as spicy food and curry, such as curry chicken and curry fish head, which are my favorites.

Singaporeans love spicy food. It is hard to imagine that all their ancestors came from the south of China, because southerners seldom eat spicy food. Especially in such a tropical country, it is incredible that you can get hot after eating so spicy food. However, no matter what Singaporeans eat, they have to serve a dish of pickled peppers (dried peppers dipped in soy sauce) to dip in vegetables. This is a fact. One of my Singaporean clients has been in China for a long time on business. He went to a restaurant for dinner and asked the waiter for pickled peppers. People didn't know how to do it, so he went to the kitchen to get it himself. He must eat this before eating. I specifically asked some Singaporean friends about this and got various answers. Generally speaking, there are two opinions. One is influenced by Malays and Indians, whose food is mainly spicy; Second, it is good for health, because pepper will burn off excess fat.

In addition to authentic Chinese food in Singapore, with the influx of more and more immigrants from Chinese mainland, we can now eat delicious food from all over China in Singapore, such as Sichuan hot pot, northern jiaozi, Shanghai food and so on, but these are not very popular and we need to go to a specific restaurant to eat them.

If you are a gourmet, you must not miss the opportunity to taste Indian food and Malaysian food in Singapore. Although it looks strange on the whole, it still has its own unique taste and is worth trying. For example, Satay made in Malaysia (similar to kebabs with curry sauce) and Malay fried rice, Indian pancakes and mutton soup are all my favorites.

The place where Singaporeans usually eat is called food street, which is distributed in residential areas, commercial centers, subway stations and large shopping malls. Each cooked food center has many stalls, selling different foods and providing public tables and chairs for eating, which is a bit like the canteens of large domestic companies or schools. Basically all the stalls in the cooked food center are similar, such as Chinese bibimbap, noodles, stuffed tofu, chicken rice, Malay rice, Indian rice and so on. In particular, every cooked food center must have a beverage seller. Because of the hot weather, I basically order a drink for every meal. It is more economical to eat in the deli center, about 3 to 5 Singapore dollars per meal.
