Advantages: Diverse range of cuisines. Very hygienic.
Disadvantages: Pricey especially compared with Malaysia and Indonesia

....The Malay food in the Island Republic is an eclectic blend combining the cooking methods of the Thais,the Malaysians and the Indonesians. Must try dishes include Satay,Beef rendang,Mee goreng and Nasi padang.Indian food is widely available but head to "Little Inia" for the best curries in town.

Singapore is also renowned for its seafood such as Barbecued stingray, Black Pepper crab, Deep-Fried squid and Garlic prawns. Best location for seafood-I would suggest the restaurants along the East Coast Parkway.The Island is also home to a considerable number of Thai,Vietnamese,Japanese,Korean and Mongolian restaurants whilst within the popular eating centres of Holland Village,Boat Quay...
