Singapore was a mix of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Filipinos and Caucasians. Sing food generally catered to these various palate: noodles, curry, roti prata, kebabs, laksa, fried chicken, chili crabs!

My first meal in Singapore was seafood rice and homemade iced lemon tea at a hawker center, the Singapore version of food stalls ala pinoy carenderia. Seafood rice was a hefty serving of fried rice with scrambled eggs, steamed fish, squid, and shrimps; and paired with dip made of bell peppers, light vinegar and soy sauce. The rice was a little oily, but still yummy! The homemade iced lemon tea on the other hand was real tea (unlike our commercial powdered iced tea ) with a slice of lemon. It had a bitter-tangy taste common with Chinese tea. Seafood rice costs SGD 4.00 while the iced lemon tea was SGD 1.60.

I ended up with a clean plate (and glass). And I thought I would lose weight in Singapore. Hah! Cannot! I have yet to try their famous Hainanese chicken rice not to mention the rotti pratas! More Sing food, having here please!
