FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

If culinary variety is what you seek, Singapore is paradise. Dotted all over the island are hawker centres and eating places of every type and ethnic origin - Malay, Chinese, Eurasian, Indian, Continental, etc. You name it and chances are it's available in Singapore. If not, it's probably in the works.

WHERE TO FIND FILIPINO FOOD

  • For Filipino food and San Miguel Beer, the place to go is Lucky Plaza (aka Little Philippines) in Orchard Road. The shopping center is a few steps away from the Orchard Road MRT train station. Be prepared with some cash as among Pinoy-food-serving restaurants, only the GP Restaurant at the third floor accepts credit cards.

  • A food joint in Furama Hotel also serves Filipino food, Kamayan style. (Watch this page. I'll post the details as soon as I have them.) Other hotels may also feature Filipino food on their menus as part of their special promotional packages but it's not often that they do this.

  • The Philippine Embassy and/or Pinoy organizations also occasionally organize 'fiestas' to celebrate special events. And what are fiestas without food?

  • Authentic Pinoy food? Go to Pinoy households of course!

    Leaving home has this two-fold effect on the average Filipino expat:

    (1) Filial piety becomes a virtue. The cook, usually Mom, is elevated to the status of Fairy of the Kitchen. (How else could she have made these same meat and vegetables in front of me sooooo delicious back home?)

    (2) The Pinoy expatriate learns how to cook and suddenly, Jimmy Santos, basketball player turned comedian, is venerated as a fountain of wisdom. (Didn't he utter this gem : "If you don't cook, you don't eat; and if you don't eat you die"?) Believe me, after a few months of dining out and wondering where his pocket used to be, our kababayan WILL COOK. It's definitely cheaper to cook than to eat out. And if I may add, for guys, 'tis the chance to discover the New Age Man within them, and for both guys and gals to view cooking just as importantly as those skills written down in resumes.
