Chinese local dishes such as Char Kway Teow, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Fish Ball Noodles are some of the many mouth-watering dishes available here. Malay food such as nasi lemak and delicacies like Nyonya or Malay cakes can also be found. Furthermore, Indian foods such as the local 'roti prata' and curry puffs are also available in the mornings at the hawker centers. In addition to the local foods, Western foods are also widely available for the many Eurasians living in Singapore. Delicious steaks and fries available at a reasonable price are therefore greatly welcomed.

Chinese Food
Chinese being one of the main race in Singapore, is one of the main eating favorites in Singapore. Chinese dishes are famous for their flavor, color and aroma. In Singapore, they are further enhanced with a tinge of tropical specialty.

The main diet for Chinese is rice. Though it may not be the case in the heavily westernized Singapore, the Hainanese chicken rice thrives as one of the most popular Chinese foods. You would discover that an important Chinese delicacy in majority of the hawker centers is the chicken-flavored rice topped with white slices of boned chicken meat. The aroma will persistently nag at your mind until you try the mouthwatering dish. Together with the gravy of a well-seasoned chicken broth, the scrumptious meal is indeed irresistible in front of a empty stomach.

Malay Food
Malay cuisine is an amalgam of traditional dishes from Peninsular Malaysia, with strong influences from the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java as well as Thailand. Although Malay food is not as dominating as the Chinese food is in Singapore, nonetheless, it constitutes part of the mainstream diet.

In Singapore, the main Malay delicacy is satay, thought to be derived from the Arab kebab but with a distinct character of it own. Seasoned mutton, beef or chicken are pierced through bamboo skewers, barbecued over glowing charcoal and eaten with rich grounded peanut sauce, sliced cucumbers, raw onions and ketupat (chunks of compressed rice steamed in banana-leaf wrappings).

Muslim Malays do not have pork. That is the reason you can never find pork in Malay satay stall. Satay has also embarked on a new expedition -- the revolutionary Satay Pizza. Only Singaporeans know what satay pizza is, or at least, tourists who had visited Singapore before. A native Italian pasta chef will not understand the term "satay pizza". This draws us closer to the fact that Singapore has a unique cosmopolitan flavor of its own?

Indian Food
The major Indian contributions to Singaporean cuisine include dishes such as mee goreng, a distinctive version of Indonesian style fried noodles, and Indian style rojak, a spicy salad originally from Java. A wonderful array of Indian breads has become part and parcel of Singapore's lifestyle.

It's hard to pass up an Indian breakfast of roti-prata, griddle-fried flaky white-flour bread served with mild chicken curry. Other typical breakfast breads are a thin, slightly sour-tasting pancake called thosay and idly, a steamed bun made with a black-skinned lentil and rice flour batter.

Equally tempting for a snack or lunch is murtabak, a griddle-fried roti (Indian bread) stuffed with spiced minced mutton, eggs, and onions.

Indian food is much more than a pot of curry. Curries do not constitute the entire Indian cuisine. There are masses of delicious dry spiced vegetable and meat dishes; many different breads, rice and lentil dishes for you to try. A favorite among the hot dishes is mutton curry.

Others
Singapore being a cosmopolitan country a wide variety of food can be seen apart from the Chinese, Malay and Indian. These foods include: Thai, Japanese, Italian, French, Portuguese, German, American, African, Mexican, Spanish, Russian, Swiss, Dutch and many more.
