Singapore 11October2025: Eating With the Toiling Masses of Singapore
We are staying at the Shangri-La Singapore with five-star victuals. Who wants perpetual five-star food? I asked our tour director for a simpler locale where the toiling masses chow down. So for dinner a short walk down Orchard Street where the hotel is located then turn left to the 7-11 and walk down to the basement to a “low key” food court bereft of tourists but full of locals not working for major international financial organizations nor of the moneyed Singaporean classes. Well a dinner # 4 for me consisting of BBQ chicken and pork, a bowl of broth and a gigantic portion of rice. Food it was and not gourmet but for 6 Singaporean dollars who can complain. I also had a large TIGER Lager the only beer served in the food court by a young lady in Tiger logo shirt serving up the brew. She even topped up your glass when needed. What service! I’d give this a 2- star rating but a five for the “authentic” Singaporean experience!
