Singapore, is officially known as the Republic of Singapore and is the only city-island-nation in the world. It is a merger of one main island, Pulau Ujong, along with 62 other islets within its inland waters. Featuring a tropical climate, it's location has aided the citystate to become the largest port in the region, and one of the busiest in the world. Despite its size, it is home to a population of over 5.5 million people making it a very crowded city, third only to Monaco and Hong Kong.

The Malay Cuisine will introduce you to the rich history and culture of Singapore and is a must to try. Characterized by heavy use of spices, most Malay dishes are curries, stews or dips of one kind or another and nasi padang restaurants, offering a wide variety of these to ladle onto your rice, are very popular.
Being the smallest of the area's three ethnic groups, the Indians have had proportionally a small impact on the local culinary scene.
