You can find any type of food anywhere in Singapore. Italian, French, Thai, Malay.. But it was interesting that my friends didn't know about Greek food. I was craving for Thai food, so one of them took me to an outdoor Thai restaurant just 5 minutes walk from her apartment. Another one joined us, and said he came here last night. He lives near that place, too. It's easy to find good food in Singapore. Many coffee shops and cafes and desserts are beckoning locals who already filled themselves with a lot of food. It sometimes seem unhealthy to be surrounded by so many restaurants that offer delicious food of a big serving size. It's easy to eat more than you need. Yet Singaporeans are generally skinny and healthy partly because they walk a lot, using public transportation. Chinese herbs may be helping digestion. People also consume more energy to deal with the hot and humid weather, perhaps. Observing the serving size almost as big as they are in the US or Australia, it's interesting to see how people remain fit in this food paradise.
There was a 一風堂 chain shop at the airport. It's surprising that many people like ramen so much. It costs about 1400 yen (!), and doesn't taste as good as in Japan, but it's a popular ramen shop full of customers according to my friends who also like the Japan-born noodles.
