Singapore not only has fantastic 'local' Chinese food (it is one of the main hubs of Teochew food globally); it is now also home to pretty much an endless array of regional Chinese food from all over China. The best Chinese restaurants from HK & TW are there.
But what makes me super excited: we now have regional Chinese food from elsewhere in Malaysia. Like these noodles from Sabah (impossible to find until recently)

This guy eats exceptionally well in Singapore. I don't know him but he's never failed me. He's one of the 3 local food blogs I trust. He eats way more northern regional Chinese cuisine in Singapore than I do and has a good grasp of the food scene there
I always read his site when I go back

@skinnylatte Singapore is such an incredible food destination. You can get just about *anything* and know it’ll be “good” at the absolute minimum.
Note: haven’t spent much time there since 2001 or so, but that was the case back then and I assume it’s only gotten better since.

@pmonks yes, it has 10x in options and cuisines. there's a clone of golden boy pizza there, even. and roberta's pizza from brooklyn is there. plus the E Asian and SE Asian and S Asian food scenes are (separately) even better than before. There's even a good 'Malay-Mexican' place (opened by a Mexican person married to a Malay person)

@skinnylatte suddenly im *very* hungry…

@pmonks coriander ice cream with a second scoop of 'peanut butter and parsley' ice cream ahahah

@skinnylatte Did I ever mention a friend got into ice cream making, and made hay ice cream one time? It was subtle and unexpectedly delicious!!

@pmonks i love unexpected ice cream flavors.
one of the reasons why i'm not that into aaron peskin, is because i once made miso caramel ice cream at an event, and he very drunkenly said 'why the fuck would anyone put miso in ice cream' and i never forgot it (even if he's supposedly better now about the drinking)

l also never remember this but we have a great Japanese-Sichuanese place called Shisen Hanten (of Iron Chef fame)... whenever I go back there I have a checklist of things to do and eat, and I never complete anything coz there's so much

and just yesterday i was recommending that a friend go to Ming Chung for 'Heng Hwa' food
i described it as 'hokkien food but with teochew ingredients'
so like really hearty cooking but with very fabulous light ingredients
frankly i was so lucky to have mostly lived / eaten in singapore / malaysia / thailand / indonesia for most of my life, haha

Did you know that Singapore has a Putian community of an estimated 25000 people? Known as the Heng Hwa, they are a minority as compared to the bigger Singapore Chinese dialect groups, Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew and Hakka.
