Eating habits of immigrants from 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 southern Fujian and Chaoshan areas), Guangdong and Hainan in China, Chinese food here is mainly based on the dishes of these places. For example, Hainan chicken rice, stuffed tofu, fried kway teow, bak Kut teh, Fujian noodles and so on. Influenced by local Malays, Chinese food in Singapore has also incorporated some characteristics of Malay diet, such as spicy and curry.

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. First, influenced by Malays and Indians, their 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, Malay-made satay (similar to kebabs, brushed with curry sauce) and Malay fried rice, Indian pancakes and mutton soup.

The place where Singaporeans usually eat is called cooked food center (distributed in residential areas, commercial centers, subway stations and 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, everyone basically orders a drink when eating. Eating in the cooked food center is still relatively economical, about 3 to 5 Singapore dollars per meal.

4. Marriage immigrants

It is unwise to marry a Singaporean just for the sake of emigration. I would like to remind applicants not to falsify. Singapore Immigration Bureau has made great efforts in counterfeiting. Once identified, it is difficult for the applicant to enter Singapore. Even if you successfully immigrate to Singapore by using a fake marriage, as long as someone reports it or continues to investigate through the Immigration Bureau, your permanent resident status will be cancelled. In recent years, many people cheat the rights of permanent residents through fake marriages. After being reported, their permanent resident status was revoked.
