Someone said it correctly, “Food is the ingredient that binds us together.” We all share a common love for the good wine and dine. There is no joy as big as the gastronomical delight that satiates our souls and takes our taste buds for a heavenly ride. Singapore is an island city-state in Southeast Asia, where food is viewed as an important element of national identity that joins together people of different ethnic groups. Food is a common topic of discussion among Singaporeans. You can find several restaurants in Singapore specialising in cuisines from all around the world.
