One of my favorite things to do when I travel is eat at as many places that I possibly can in the city in which I’m staying. I hope this doesn’t sound like my favorite pastime is eating, which it’s not or that I’m a glutton or something. I’m just one of those people who really feels that you can get a feeling for a city, town and or people from their food. And when I travel, which I try to do as often as I can, dining wherever I am is a great priority. So, I don’t know maybe I do love food, and I guess it is something of an obsession, though it really only comes out when I travel. I guess maybe that’s something for my therapist and me to talk about at our next appointment. Anyway, the point of all of this is to say that my recent trip to Singapore was absolutely fantastic and while I had no idea what to expect, I know understand why its residents are some of the happiest on the planet.

The cuisine of Singapore is extremely unique and also incredibly dynamic and flavorful. The majority of the local dishes are based on Malay, Chinese and Indian traditions as well as mix of others. With this in mind it’s obvious that various spices are essential to the food and local customs dominate the palate. There are many restaurants in Singapore that cater to and specialize in some of these traditional dishes and customs. I had the pleasure of dining at more than one of them while I was there and was absolutely amazed at the flavor intensity of some of them. Interestingly, the food of a particular city or region is also one of the deciding factors in making it one of my favorites. And Singapore is definitely one of my favorite places, I will be visiting there again.
