Singapore is considered the food capital of Asia and is well-known for its melting pot of cuisines. It is no coincidence then that our food nation has spawned many local foodies to keep up with all the new restaurants and eateries being opened.
If you are a true Singaporean foodie, you will exhibit many of these signs below, much to the irritation of other non-foodies. It’s ok, you’re not alone as foodies will understand why you do what you do.
1. You treat hungrygowhere.com like the bible and read it before visiting a restaurant.
2. You instagram your food before you eat. When you miss a meal post, your friends get worried that you might be kidnapped by aliens.
3. Your friends ask you where to eat for very specific situations, like where the best bak chor mee in Jurong is that has ambience good enough to pak tor.
4. You never eat the same dish within the week because… you just can’t.
5. You can argue where the best Chicken Rice stall in Singapore is.
6. You feel frustrated when you can’t order a particular dish, because your friend is ordering it.
