Went to Singapore once for a visa to work in Thailand, (can't get one in country). I'll have to say that I liked it down there, nice and clean. 1st time I had ever see a Macky D on a push cart, or a 7-11 in a little box with fold up sides.
I'll say that it is a little more pricy there than in Thailand. I'm south of Bangkok down around Pattaya. Lots of expats there. I'm working here in Qatar with 5 guys that live there, this is our 5 job that we have been on together in the last 15 years. This is going to be my last rodeo (unless they make me an offer I can't refuse.
Food looks good, and your right about that red stuff, HOT ain't hte word for it.
