Food in Singapore

My colleagues have told me that I have tried only a very small percentage of the food I must try before I leave Singapore. I have only ventured into Chinese food so far, still having Malay and Indian food to discover.

In the Chinese food section, we started off with Chi Fan (street name chicken rice). I actually grew to like this meal quite a lot. Although Singaporeans claim it as a signature Singaporean dish, it has its roots in China. It involves rice cooked in chicken oil and then served with chicken and vegetables. My obsession with Chi Fan has become a joke among my coworkers, especially because the first time I tried to pronounce it in Mandarin I said "Chi Fun" which means chicken manure... Wo yao chi chi fan! Not really...

Eating a traditional Singaporean burger.



I have resolved to eat anything, and so far, I have only not liked one meal. I hope to venture into Malay food next as I will be in Malaysia this week. We'll see how it goes!
