What makes Singapore so special as a travel destination? The city combines modern architecture, such as the famous Marina Bay Sands hotel, with an old town that is characterised by colonial-era buildings. These contrasts make a visit particularly rewarding. Singapore is also considered to be the most globalised country in the world. The resulting cultural diversity of the small island state is unique and is particularly evident in the multitude of religions practiced and languages spoken there, as well as its cuisine.
Spicy soups, chicken rice and shrimp in tomato sauce: the multi-ethnic character of Singapore is also reflected in its food. Culinary influences range from Malay cuisine to Chinese, South Indian and Indonesian dishes. European and Arabic influences also complement Singapore's delicacies and result in the typical fusion cuisine for which the island nation is known and loved by travellers and foodies all over the world.
