Yes the food looks awesome do you think it would have been a good stop if you had not been able to couchsurf and had a wonderful guide?
Dave says
Nope, having a local made my time there much more efficient and easy-going.

The best thing about the food in Singapore is the mixture of the Chinese and Indian concept. Being roughly half way between these two great culinary nations has led to the creation of unique dishes and ways of preparing and presenting such delights.
No one has tasted the real Singapore cusine till they eat at the outdoor markets where the food is cooked in front of you amongst the hustle and bustle and Oooh the smells....... My mouth is already watering....
