Singapore Dining For A Great Experience

Whether you choose to go it alone, with your sweetheart

, or as a family, the city of Singapore will capture your heart and your imagination. Centuries of multi-cultural influence have created a colorful palette for everyone to enjoy. If you love sight-seeing, you will not be disappointed. If you appreciate native foods, this city offers you an enormous variety from which to choose. Singapore dining has something for everyone. Several of the excellent five-star restaurants in the hotels as well as many independent entities are world-renowned. Chefs from America and Europe have been known to visit these establishments to learn their unique secrets.

On the other hand, if family dining is the order of the day, you will be delighted at all the opportunities you will have to sample local foods. Be sure to carry a good dining guide with you to explain some of the exotic dishes offered. For example, your Singapore dining might include trying some of these favorites:"Roti Prata" a fluffy Indian pancake-like bread; "Chilli Crab" full-size complete crab in chilli gravy; or "Char Kway Teow" broad fried rice noodles served with black sweet sauce. Foods like this are offered in areas similar to food courts, where hawkers sell their wares as they prepare them on the spot. They may be out in the open air or indoors.

For the sight-seer in all of us you can find good food in Singapore in every part of town. From the 19th century converted warehouses along the Singapore River at Clarke Quay or Boat Quay, to the longest road in Singapore, the Bukit Tim with its stately tree-lined residences, there is a price range and a flavor for everyone. If you want a special treat, visit the East Coast Restaurant where Malay and Peranakan food are the specialties. Paranakan food is a marriage of Chinese and Malaysian food and very popular for those looking for good food in Singapore.

Perhaps you would rather experience a more relaxed atmosphere, pleasant and unhurried. The place to visit for this kind of Singapore dining is Robertson Quay, a lovely spot by the river with a selection of fine dining restaurants. On the other hand, if you love shopping, you will want to grab something to eat at the Orchard Road Restaurants. Orchard Road is the main retail shopping and hotel area. There are eateries in almost every building for quick, fast food, and of course fine formal restaurants in the hotels themselves. There really is something for everyone in Singapore. Come and see for yourself.
