Singaporean Food Stalls


In Singapore, you often see a number of food courts around town. There are several large food courts that are well known throughout Singapore. Because the country is so clean, I don't have any reservations eating at most of these food stalls. They are also marked with a letter grade (like many restaurants in Southern California) - A, B and C, which indicates the cleanliness and food quality of the stall.

The stalls often work together in harmony. Someone will seat you and get your order, even if they usually man one of the other stands. You just sit at one of the tables and order any food you like from the nearby stands - grilled sting ray, laksa (a coconut curry soup served with noodles and meat), chicken and rice, prepared fish, chinese barbecue and rice, sugar cane juice...or any number of tasty treats.

It's Singapore's version of fast food. Your meal usually is served within 10-15 minutes of ordering!
