What are the characteristics of Singapore?

Origin of country name: Singapore is a city country, which originally meant lion city. According to Malay historical records, around 1 150, the Sri Lankan prince who died in Sumatra arrived at the island by boat and saw a black beast, which was called a lion by the locals, hence the name "Lion City". Singapore is the homonym of the Sanskrit "Lion City". Because local residents are deeply influenced by Indian culture, they like to use Sanskrit as their place names. The lion is brave and vigorous, so it is natural to use it as a place name. In the past, many overseas Chinese called it "Silla", which means "Strait" in Malay, and some people called it "Sin Chau" and "Sing Tao" because of its small area.

First, the Lan people monopolized Singapore's trade market and prospered from it. Later, the British intervened, making Singapore the focus of competing for the most distinctive trade route in the world-the spice road. Pepper, cloves, cinnamon and saffron filled the cabin, bringing a large number of immigrants from India, China, the Middle East and Malaysia.

Nowadays, with the integration of immigrant food culture, spices have become a major feature of Singapore cuisine. If you come to Singapore and don't taste the local food, it will be a great pity. To do this, you must try curry fish heads on banana leaves, as well as Chili crabs and satay (kebabs).

We will show you a spice garden, which is the original site of Singapore Botanical Garden. Then in Little India, we will shuttle through the streets full of food, spices, containers, saris (traditional Indian women's dresses) and gold ornaments, and take this opportunity to taste Indian food which is famous for its richness and flavor.

The best way to experience Singapore's customs is to get in touch with local people's life. Go to the nearby vegetable market and you will see how housewives can buy the freshest and cheapest dishes in a crowded environment.

Finally, we went to Kadong's food street. There, you will certainly learn about the eating customs and cultures of different races in Singapore.

This trip can be made every day except Monday, Sunday and public holidays.
