Singapore is known as a melting pot for many ethnic, racial and religious groups. What perhaps brings them together as nothing else can is food. In Singapore it is a common sight to see everyone happily munch away on some sort of food item at any given hour of the day.

Therefore a visitor to Singapore is rather spoiled for choice when it comes to options for dining. Some years back cuisine types extended only to the main few cultures in Singapore – Chinese, Peranakan, Indian, Malay, British and Eurasian. However with the advent of more and more expatriates debuted a selection of Thai, Spanish, Turkish, Italian, Vietnamese, Lebanese, and Nepalese foods all vying for attention equally.

A must-do in Singapore is to experience dining – the true Singaporean way. This is possible at the food centres all across the city. The vendors here were originally street hawkers who through modern urbanisation have now been brought under one roof. Here, one may walk around and see which type of cuisine and which dish most appeals and then watch how the food is prepared. The food centres are well maintained and have high sanitary qualifications.

If, however, one is not so adventurous then Singapore also caters on a fine dining level. Many converted colonial mansions and other high ranking hotels offer sumptuous food, prepared by award winning chefs and served in luxurious ambience.

A mix of both extremes can be found when visiting Orchard Street, Marina Bay, Robertson and Clarke Quay, Chinatown, Little India and Sentosa Island.

So take a pick or go on a rampage and savour delicacies from all of the above next time you are in Singapore. If travellers seek a luxury hotel Singapore, an ideal choice would be Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore which boasts of some of the best Singapore restaurants.
