Swiss woman says she feels cheated that a 'Swiss restaurant' in Singapore did not sell Swiss foods

@skinnylatte I was deeply offended on China’s behalf when I learned what the Swiss had done to hot pot, aka “fondue Chinoise”

@dan @skinnylatte this toot isn’t real, it can’t hurt me

@skinnylatte @matt The word “just” is doing some heavy lifting there. But I would love that!
We’re in London a couple times per year. That’s when we get the good food.
And, funnily enough, you get good Asian food (of many varieties) in Interlaken. It’s the only place in the country I’ve found good Punjabi samosas. The huge influx of Asian tourists helps a lot with keeping the food decent.

@skinnylatte @matt Yeah, Paris has the wonderful advantage of being a place where many chefs from all around the world train. And then some of them go back to making their home cuisine, with extra butter. (I approve of the extra butter.)

@samir @skinnylatte I’m generally surprised by how good of non-Swiss/European cuisine I can get in Switzerland. It usually about doing the research and not relying on ratings weighted upward from Europeans.
There are a lot of bad places to go here to be sure, but the gems are enough to keep me from losing my mind. TBH, this place punches way above its weight when compared to Berlin where I lived before in this regard.

@matt @skinnylatte Totally! There’s a few fucking great restaurants, and I appreciate them very much.
(Except Malaysian. I’m yet to find good Malaysian food. I would appreciate tips.)

I don't understand people who travel to a country B, being from country A and then go to a restaurant claiming to serve food from A.In 1988 when being in Singapore we only went to an "Italian restaurant " the first night after arriving there, because we never experienced Asian food then. Never after that day. Hawker centers are great, as well as being taken to fancy Chinese restaurants by locals.
We learned to admire spicy Asian food then!
Thank you Singapore. -

@PeterSommerlad there’s nothing wrong with trying all cuisines especially in very global cities with all sorts of food. Singapore has pretty great French and Italian restaurants. Same in Bangkok / Tokyo. Of course everyone should eat whatever they want, it’s just very deeply weird to expect good Swiss food: I dont know that really exists outside of Switzerland and Germany.
