Something that Singaporeans never seem to forget unlike other nations in the world is the fact that their country is loved by many because of its people and not for other reasons. The people of a country are the driving force behind anything the country supports. Singapore is a multi-cultural, multi-faceted country that has been moulded and shaped by its inhabitants over the years into becoming the economically stable, culturally rich country that it is today. The Second World War was particularly harsh on Singapore. The location of Singapore made it a key military position that everyone wanted to get their hands on. Thus capturing Singapore was the number 1 priority and was considered a great achievement. The people of Singapore were caught unaware and most had to flee the island. Some were known to have traveled as far as Sri Lanka in cargo ships and boats to escape the hands of invading armies.

Putting their tragic history behind them, the people of Singapore took up the challenge and made this an opportunity to head their country’s future on a much brighter course where entrepreneurs were valued and hard workers were rewarded. This is what Singapore stands for and what its culture is built on. Malay, Chinese, Indian and even European descendants call Singapore their home. This unique mixture of ethnicities gives Singapore its distinct character and sets it apart from its neighbouring countries.

While little India gives you the feel of a real Hindustani village, it swallows you into a world powered by religion and blessed with vibrancy. Chinatown will take you deep into the heart of the oriental world and flood your senses with all things Chinese. The Neo-classical architecture was Britain’s gift to modern Singapore. These boldly crafted constructions add certain elegance to this already amazing country.

Food is an important aspect of any culture. Like its contribution to the overall makeup of the country, the multi-ethnic community of Singapore has given new meaning to the word cuisine. While local delicacies that belong to Singapore do exist, most of these have bits and pieces of other cuisine within them. All these twists and turns make dining in Singapore an absolute pleasure purely because two dishes never taste the same in this corner of the world.
