Singapore has absorbed all the Asian centuries-old traditions of the culinary culture. The national cuisine of the island state organically combines gastronomic delights of China, India, Indonesia and even Portugal, although Singapore had long been an English colony. Local residents believe that their country's cuisine is one of the main elements uniting the multinational culture into a single nation - the Singaporeans. Tourists have no problems with enjoying traditional dishes of their native countries (in Singapore there is an abundance of national restaurants of different countries of the world) or trying authentic dishes that are cooked only here on the island. Immigrants from China brought culinary traditions of the nation with them, having enriched national recipes with the taste of local spices.

Today, Singaporean cuisine is not complete without such dishes as Shark Fin Soup, Beijing Omelette, Steamed Dumplings and a variety of seafood snacks. Gourmets will appreciate herbal soups cooked twice according to the tradition of culinary experts from the southern Chinese province of Fujian. Rice fried with the addition of delicate spices and Chinese noodles can be tried both in an upscale restaurant and in a roadside cafe. Local Chinese prefer to order large meals and divide them into smaller portions directly during the meal. European tourists will like the taste of Chinese dishes with the local flavor - Carrot Cake, Steamed Rice Pie, fried pork slices in herb sauce, traditional Chicken and Rice.
Indian flavor occupies a significant place in the gastronomic traditions of Singapore. It's hard to imagine a tourist who hasn't tried traditional Indian specialties like Murtabak Pie or tender lamb baked with spices and local seasonings. Spicy Indian curry dishes are often served in restaurants and eateries on bamboo leaves. Vegetarian dishes make up the majority in the menu of Indian cuisine. Each restaurant or cafe offers more than a dozen dishes from rice with various seasonings. Only in Singapore, you can try Asian pizza with minced meat and onions baked in Kashmir spices. One more feature of the Indian tradition is dozens of types of sauces that attract gourmets from all over the world with their sweet and sour taste. Indian bananas and tofu, which are fried directly on the street, are considered the first dessert after a meat course. Tourists should not worry about the quality and safety of food in roadside cafes: Singapore is a country of perfect cleanliness and hygiene. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

The abundance of eateries, restaurants, and food stalls never ceases to attract tourists appreciating the quality of products and the unique taste of local food.

In Singapore, every day there are national cuisine festivals - gourmet holidays with an abundance of delicious food in an atmosphere of good humor. At the same time, the quality of products is very high, which is confirmed by the average life expectancy of local residents - 82 years. Is there a cuisine on the island that can be called truly Singaporean? Yes. This is the Malay culinary tradition. The Malays consider themselves to be indigenous inhabitants of the island. However, the difference in religious traditions has also affected food preferences. A distinctive feature of Malay dishes is coconut milk added to almost every single dish. Thus, the Malays who profess the Hindu faith include in their diet Indian seasonings and traditional dishes with flat cakes, which can be tried in a restaurant. Residents of the island's southern part prefer the Indonesian culinary tradition with lots of herbs and spices. Malay Muslims supplemented Singaporean cuisine with the traditions of Iran and Turkey.

Turkish Coffee in Singapore has a more intense aroma than in Ankara. Of course, the abundance of seafood is not surprising for an island country. Shrimps, crabs, lobsters, all sorts of fish - the mere appearance of all these is impressive. Thousands of cooking recipes evoke a desire to at least try each specialty. However, it is simply impossible to eat everything that even the simplest and cheapest snack bar offers. A widely known is a local national fruit - the famous Durian. Before enjoying exotic delicacies, it's worthwhile to look for a specialized restaurant since this fruit is often prohibited. The reason for this lies in the smell, which can hardly be called well-liked.
