Singapore food courts

Singapore is full of hidden secrets, some of them are the topic of todays blogs. On the fourth floor of Wisma Atria in Orchard Road and in the basement of numerous other shopping centres lies the secret to sustainability in Singapore. The food court, where nationalities meet and unite in the common cause for gastronomic satisfaction.

There are food stalls with cuisine from all over Asia, North to Japan and South to Vietnam and India. You wont find any Danish dishes here, nor will you find any Euro cheese, wine and biscuits. But who needs that when you have this plethora of aromas and flavours at your feet.
For around 3-7 bucks singers will get you a feed of decent proportion and full of flavour. Char Siew a Cantonese marinated pork with rice and green veg starts at around $3.80 up to the Korean Bulgogi beef with rice will set you back around 7 bucks.

For those with kids, there is the relatively guilt free prospect that the cleaners will not care that the babies have left a trial of rice and veggies behind them. This is a main reason why we have not yet taken the kids to a more formal restaurant. While their manners are getting better, even now they leave food scattered in a one metre radius on the best of days.

These establishments are pretty busy and difficult to find a high chair but so far we managed to try the following food courts

Suntec City - nice juices, lai cha (tea)
Kopitiam -
Singapura plaza - Nice Korean bib bim bap and japanese chicken curry
Tanglin - noodles
Vivo City - Korean and Cantonese Char Siu
Takashimaya - egg tarts and Dairy bell soft serve ice creams in a cone

Good eating !
