Singaporean Eateries

An interesting article! As far as food is concerned i am certain that it is a trait that is common to most, if not all Singaporeans. Invariably, conversations with friends over meals divert themselves to the subject of food back home in Singapore. Passionate would be an understatement. Singaporeans are FANATICAL about food! Which is a really nice thing, it is one of the true aspects that truly define who we are as a people. The top ten list of best eateries in the world, taken from the Straits Times, are as follows:

World's top 10

1. El Bulli, Spain

2. The Fat Duck, Britain

3. Pierre Gagnaire, France

4. The French Laundry, US

5. Tetsuya's, Australia

6. Bras, France

7. Mugaritz, Spain

8. Le Louis XV, Monaco

9. Per Se, US

10. Arzak, Spain

I know of Tetsuya's! It is an eatery in Sydney, Australia, where the food is so good that you have to book three months in advance! If i remember clearly, from the trip i made there with my family three years ago.

Personally, as far as the best food in Singapore goes, a difference in tastebuds and tastes, as well as the factor of 'acquired taste' makes a consensus difficult. But there is one aspect of food that everyone will probably agree on. That some of the best recipes and best dishes, come not from the hawker centres and food courts, but from one's family! No one can cook chicken curry as good as my grandmother. Right Stephen?
