Robert De Niro has stated that when he has needed to gain weight for a particular role he is playing, such as the quick weight gain for “Raging Bull”, or in his role throughout the series for the “Godfather” movies, he pack up and heads abroad, where he eats his way around Italy.  Today, perhaps he would choose the island of Singapore.  Food is a way of life on the island, and it is suggested that one not travel to Singapore if one is on a diet.  There are not many places that offer such exotic and diverse fares, every Singapore restaurant promises everything from authentic and traditional Italian food, to Indian and Chinese.  The preoccupation with all aspects of the culinary world has created a world of flavor that is plentiful and suits all budgets.  It really is amazing that amount of locations for dining out.  From fancy restaurants offering haute cuisine, to cafes and hawker malls.

One of the reasons for this diversity is the diversity of cultures and races that have made Singapore their home over the years.  The food reflects the cuisines of those that have immigrated, the Chinese, Thai, East Indian and the European influence have presented fusion dining like none found, as well as many locations for traditional foods of each region.  Many people travel to locations for ‘food vacations’, obsessed with discovering foreign flavors and recipes, will find in Singapore a virtual cornucopia of variety.  One can stay for a month and never eat at the same place twice.  For the true Singapore flavor, one should visit restaurants run by the Peranakan culture, which is a blend of Malay and Chinese cultures.  This will be an adventure for those who do like spice, a bit of heat in their meal.  Items spiced with chilies are popular such as the favorite dish of the very spicy, very delicious chili crab.  This is a truly international island, in every sense of the word.
