Singapore Culinary Scene

Singapore is an interesting mix of "oriental" (in the broad sense of the word) and "modern". Walking down the street or through one of the many vast, multi-story malls, your food options are limited only by your taste bud's desire (do I want Chinese? Indian? French fois gras? How about a burger?). Singapore has it all, everywhere. Even the signs are in four different languages! There are a couple of foods that you must try, though. Laksa is a a Malaysian noodle soup made with either a creamy coconut/curry broth (curry mee laksa) or a spicy/sour fish broth (penang or asam laksa). The other food that Singapore people are very proud of is the chili crab.
