I like food. A lot. So when I recently
moved to Singapore it wasn't the sun or proximity to turquoise waters and white
beaches that got me excited, it was all the different dishes, tastes and
ingredients on offer. Eating is not only one of life's greatest pleasures, it's
also Singapore's favourite pastime so no excuse for not getting stuck in.
Peranakan, Malay, Chinese, Eurasian,
Vietnamese, Indian, Thai, Singaporean and Japanese cuisine all play a part in
contributing to the melting pot of food cultures found here. Culinary delights
aplenty, I've stumbled across some finger lickin' good local dishes which have
taken poll position and deserve a special mention: creamy soupy laksa with
prawns, famously found on the East Coast; popiah, crunchy vegetable bits rolled
up in chewy rice skin (the Chinese version of a burrito); Peranakan Nonya rice
dumplings wrapped tightly in banana leaves. And don't get me started on the dim
sum.
