]]> In fact, the topic “Singapore and food” deserves not just a note on the forum, but a separate scientific study. I agree with the opinion of many bloggers and members of the forum that there is just a cult of food in Singapore. Certainly many families choose to eat in inexpensive food courts instead of cooking at home.

By the way, there are a lot of food courts here in shopping centers, popular places of recreation (for example, Sentosa), and just in the city. In Singapore, food courts are better known as Hawker Center or Food Center. I don’t see the point in making a separate map for them, you will almost certainly come across at least a couple yourself while walking around the city. They are a covered area with dozens of independent food stalls inside.

The most popular place to eat among tourists is the Singapore River embankments (Robertson Key, Clarke Key and Boat Key), which are essentially one giant “dining room”. Numerous cafes and restaurants open closer to lunch and work until late at night. BUT!!! I have not seen any locals eating here! There are more than enough tourists, just crowds. It is clear that since the locals do not like these establishments, it is better not to eat there. Not even because the prices are clearly too high (you have to pay off the popularity of the place), but because the quality of service and food here leaves much to be desired. For clarity, I will say that during our morning walk along the Clarke Quay on the day of arrival, we saw several dead fish in the aquariums of popular cafes. It is very likely that the dead fish stayed in the aquariums together with the live one until the evening, and it is also likely that they were eaten with pleasure by some of the tourists.
