Good luck!

If you wanna live overseas, this is the reality that you'll face. Unless you parents are swimming in millions at their disposal.

If you're dead set on the food in the US and Canada (seriously...), do so for undergrad. As I've said, get good grades and get a scholarship. Easiest ticket out of Singapore. Then you'll understand why they say the grass is always greener on the other side.


Eh, maybe. You sound like you're being condescending about the idea of moving to US or Canada. You seem to let your own preferences leak over =S

As I've said, I've been in the US for a year, gonna be there for at least 5 more years. NC to be precise. As I've said, typical American food is pizza, fried chicken and burgers washed down with soda (soft drinks)... there's nothing really special about it. Then you have crappy imitations of Asian food stuffed with MSG and cornstarch in some brown gooey liquid. Obviously there's still nice eating places around, but there's plenty in SG.


There's your problem. Seems like you're not making an effort to look.

I barely eat it. I cook for myself to keep costs down, and I'm usually cooking chinese food (rice + dishes) but I can just about cook anything I feel like. Come over here, you'll see a huge number of people eating these stuff day in, day out.


I don't get it. So what if people eat those things? Just because they do doesn't mean I have to.

yeah, then american food is a fat slab of meat with an exaggerated amount of salt and sauce and whatnot

if you enjoy it, sure, america is pretty cool. however, that is not good food, especially not when compared to all of the flavour you can find in asian cuisine


Your ignorance is overwhelming.

yes, i'm sure some kid from sg who has never been to america knows more about its food than someone who lived there

please do tell me about this wonderful american cuisine you seem to know so much about

If you can eat whatever American-ish food you're craving everyday, for several years or even your entire life, then go ahead. I'll say it again: Eating during a holiday and eating as a resident are really different.

I have hundreds of Singaporean friends who've studied overseas, and all of them miss Singapore food. Even the locals who've been to Singapore also love Singaporean food.

i honestly haven't seen anything other than the fact that you can find tons of food from outside of america, which is not a good reason to go to america.

Even most fast food places not named McDolnalds or Burger King are pretty good (In n Out, Five Guys, Chipotle, etc.).
yeah, no. i tried chipotle when i was over there because of how amazing everyone said it was and it was trash.

and the whole variety thing isn't a very smart argument, don't go to the us to eat asian/south american/european food, it does exist but it'll never be as good as the real ones.


Chipotle's trash? You're honestly the first person I've heard that from, online and in real life. Unless you plan on eating 30$ restaurant dinners everyday or have extremely high standards, I would not judge any country's cuisine. If you're looking for casual meals or fast food, there's no place with more variety than US for meals under <10$.

There's a reason variety exists regardless of quality-- people don't enjoy eating the same shit everyday. If you go to America just to eat burgers all the time, well, I feel sorry for you. Better go to Europe where you can dine on that nice French cuisine for 30 euros a meal.

Then you have crappy imitations of Asian food stuffed with MSG and cornstarch in some brown gooey liquid. Obviously there's still nice eating places around, but there's plenty in SG.


There's your problem. Seems like you're not making an effort to look.

I barely eat it. I cook for myself to keep costs down, and I'm usually cooking chinese food (rice + dishes) but I can just about cook anything I feel like. Come over here, you'll see a huge number of people eating these stuff day in, day out.


I don't get it. So what if people eat those things? Just because they do doesn't mean I have to.

If you're dead set on the food in the US and Canada (seriously...), do so for undergrad. As I've said, get good grades and get a scholarship. Easiest ticket out of Singapore. Then you'll understand why they say the grass is always greener on the other side.


Eh, maybe. You sound like you're being condescending about the idea of moving to US or Canada. You seem to let your own preferences leak over =S

As I've said, I've been in the US for a year, gonna be there for at least 5 more years. NC to be precise. As I've said, typical American food is pizza, fried chicken and burgers washed down with soda (soft drinks)... there's nothing really special about it.

yeah, then american food is a fat slab of meat with an exaggerated amount of salt and sauce and whatnot

if you enjoy it, sure, america is pretty cool. however, that is not good food, especially not when compared to all of the flavour you can find in asian cuisine


Your ignorance is overwhelming.

yes, i'm sure some kid from sg who has never been to america knows more about its food than someone who lived there

please do tell me about this wonderful american cuisine you seem to know so much about


Right, I've been to Alaska, San Fran, California, and Orlando. Since you live there, I assume that you should also know what the fuck you're talking about.

If you can eat whatever American-ish food you're craving everyday, for several years or even your entire life, then go ahead. I'll say it again: Eating during a holiday and eating as a resident are really different.

I have hundreds of Singaporean friends who've studied overseas, and all of them miss Singapore food. Even the locals who've been to Singapore also love Singaporean food.


To each his own

You asked how the US and Canada are like, focusing only on food. People gave you their opinions, and you dismissed everything that didn't agree with the picture you had of North America. Yeah, to each his own, but if you're going to ask for opinions, be prepared to accept them.

yeah, no. i tried chipotle when i was over there because of how amazing everyone said it was and it was trash.

and the whole variety thing isn't a very smart argument, don't go to the us to eat asian/south american/european food, it does exist but it'll never be as good as the real ones.


Chipotle's trash? You're honestly the first person I've heard that from, online and in real life. Unless you plan on eating 30$ restaurant dinners everyday or have extremely high standards, I would not judge any country's cuisine. If you're looking for casual meals or fast food, there's no place with more variety than US for meals under <10$.

There's a reason variety exists regardless of quality-- people don't enjoy eating the same shit everyday. If you go to America just to eat burgers all the time, well, I feel sorry for you. Better go to Europe where you can dine on that nice French cuisine for 30 euros a meal.

i had no idea we were discussing trash "food" for college kids

nvm then, my standards are apparently too high for this discussion, keep eating your delicious concentrated grease

Dismissed? No. Did I agree that NA might not be the all I made it out to be? I did. I understand where you're coming from. Sure, it's expensive to get good food at restaurants. Have any of you provided conclusive proof that the products you get from grocers are god-awful and genetically modified? No. Are all your comments substantiated? No.

All I've heard from you is the usual rant that American food like fried chicken, pizza, etc. is bad for you. Who doesn't know that?

When did I ever say that? You can get fresh produce virtually everywhere, unless you're living in some forgotten backwater. And BTW, many foodstuffs in America are genetically modified. There's always an organic section if you have an irrational of fear GM food.

You better learn to cook unless you like eating salads and sandwiches everyday.

No, I dont think you understand. Hawker Centres and all that, yeah, but not for me.




Norway seems perfect,but im sure it isnt all its made out to be.


A guy I play basketball with is from Malaysia, and he says that Malaysian and singaporean(is that right?) food is way better! (he studies in Norway) But of course, everyone has their own taste in food.

Hah, unless you're making 100k+ a year or cook all of your own meals all the time, you're going to be eating these "trash" foods occasionally. Your standards are too high, because no one eats restaurant quality meals on a daily basis, especially not 15 y/o kids from Singapore. Also, it's funny you talk about greasy foods as if it's abnormal--if something tastes really good, chances are it is loaded with fat, sugar, oil, etc. It's not exclusive to American food.

Btw, I wasn't saying that you said that. Goes to show how much you know about me dismissing people's opinion in the thread.
