The number of people applying to immigrate to Singapore is on the rise, so what is life and food like in Singapore?

Let’s take a look at the Overseas Immigration Network! Welcome to read.

Life and Food in Singapore Like all Chinese, "eating" is a very important part of Singaporean life.

Singapore also prides itself as a "food paradise".

Singapore, like Hong Kong, is a model of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures in Asia, which is very prominently reflected in the aspect of "eating".

In Singapore, you can eat food from all over the world. No matter where you are from, you can always find food that suits your taste in Singapore.

Of course, Singapore’s most distinctive feature is the food cooked by locals, including Chinese, Indian and Malay food.

Since the ancestors of the Chinese in Singapore mainly came from China's Fujian (mainly Minnan and Chaoshan areas), Guangdong and Hainan, the Chinese food here is mainly based on dishes from these places, such as Hainanese chicken rice and Yong Tau Fu.

, Char Kway Teow, Bak Kut Teh, Hokkien Mee, etc.

Deeply influenced by the local Malays, Singaporean Chinese food also incorporates some Malay food characteristics, such as the tendency to be spicy and the use of curry. Curry chicken and curry fish head are my favorites.

Singaporeans love spicy food. It is hard to imagine that their ancestors came from southern China, because the impression is that southerners rarely eat spicy food.

Especially in such a tropical country, it is a bit incredible to have to eat something so spicy and heated up.

However, it is a fact that no matter what Singaporeans eat, they always have a plate of pickled chili peppers (dried chili peppers soaked in soy sauce) for dipping.

A Singaporean client of mine was on a long-term business trip in China. When he went to a restaurant to eat, he asked the waiter for pickled chili peppers. He didn't know how to make them, so he went to the kitchen to make them himself. He had to ask for this before eating.

I specifically asked some Singaporean friends about this and got various answers.

Generally speaking, there are two opinions. One is that it is influenced by the Malays and Indians, and their food is mainly spicy; the other is that it is good for health because chili peppers will burn off excess fat.

In addition to authentic Singaporean-style Chinese food, with the influx of more and more immigrants from mainland China, we can now also eat food from all over China in Singapore, such as Sichuan hot pot, northern dumplings, Shanghai cuisine, etc., but these

They are not very popular and you need to go to specific restaurants to eat them.

If you are a foodie, you must not miss the opportunity to taste Indian and Malay food in Singapore.

Although they generally look weird, they still have their own unique taste worth trying.

For example, the Malay satay (similar to kebabs, brushed with curry sauce) and Malay fried rice, and the Indian pancakes and mutton soup are my favorites.

The places where Singaporeans usually eat are called Food Courts, which are located in various residential areas, commercial centers, subway stations and large shopping malls.

Each cooked food center has many stalls selling different foods, and also provides public tables and chairs for eating, which is a bit like the canteens of large domestic companies or schools.

Basically, the stalls in all cooked food centers are similar, such as Chinese mixed vegetable rice, noodles, Yong Tau Foo, chicken rice, Malay rice, Indian rice, etc.

In particular, every cooked food center must have a beverage seller.

Since the weather is hot, I basically order a drink every time I eat.

It is quite economical to eat at cooked food centers, costing about SGD 3 to 5 per meal.
