10 Unmistakable Signs That You Love Singapore’s Local Food As Much As We Do!

Singapore’s local food is something that will always makes us uniquely Singapore. So much so that we hear foreigners and tourists frequently raving about our culturally diverse local food and its no secret that we are known for our Chilli Crab (even though we know we are definitely more than that 😉 ). And somehow, we always manage to copy food from all over the world, and adapt it to suit our unforgiving Singaporean tastebuds.

You don’t understand how anyone will get confused or won’t know how to order what they want. Aiyo how can? There’s simply no excuse for that!

But you are always eager to help and educate any confused angmoh or foreigner.

2. And of course the art of ordering noodles

You will actually hunt down Chinese Singaporeans who are clueless over this and give them an hour long lecture.

3. Whenever you are overseas, you only crave for Singaporean food 

That moment when you’ve landed in Europe after a 12 long flight and all you ever want to eat is some Chicken rice, Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Mee Goreng, Prata, Kway Chap… Jialat sia. 

And then you remember this is only the start of the torture of not having local food for the next few days…or weeks…or months.

5. You are willing to work for your food 

You are willing to travel all the way from the West to Bedok 85 for Bar Chor Mee and BBQ Chicken Wings. And you are a strong believer that queues are telltale signs of good food.

The longer the queue, the better.

7. Hawker centres bring out the indecisiveness inside you

You want to order everything!

10. After all, you know the best food is always found at the Hawker Centres

Never at some Michelin Star fine dining restaurant.

Or hipster cafe.

And most definitely not at some 5 Star Hotel with a 10-course, $128 per pax meal.
