After living for more than a year now in Singapore, I have learned to appreciate the local food offerings to a greater extent. Perhaps, so much so that I can declare how my threshold for hot & spicy foods has increased throughout. A number of food posts made through this blog have likewise introduced me to a truly eclectic mix of great culinary finds. Suffice it to say, I have come up with a list of local foods that would pass as must tries in the island. If it's your first time to visit Singapore and is daring enough to partake in the country's tastebuds, here are the choices that are never to be missed. From breakfast items to major meal occasions down to the desserts and snacks, there's definitely something to fill a craving appetite.
