Things You Will Only Find in Singapore

Join the Hawker Center Queue

You must visit a Hawker center if you ever visit Singapore. It's essentially the world's largest shopping mall, but solely for food. Yes, an entire mall dedicated to food. These kinds of eateries can seem daunting, yet they're all over the place and have become an icon in Singaporean cuisine. The rule is straightforward. The better the cuisine, the longer the line. So put on some comfortable shoes, get ready for a long wait, and appreciate Singaporean food culture, which you won't find anyplace else in the world.

Go see the turtles

You know how each country has its own unique set of symbols? For whatever weird reason, the turtle has become one of Singapore's most recognizable animals. In Singapore, there is a turtle and tortoise museum, and they are served on some restaurant menus (!!!) and treated as pets, just like dogs and cats. The locals are infatuated with them, and there are turtle viewing sites all over the place. We think Singaporeans are doing something right because some of these parks have turtles that are over 800 years old.
