The Polls: Looking for Singapore's Favourite Cuisine

For our next poll we want to find out which cuisine Singaporeans enjoy most.

From the nomination round, it would seem like the hot favorites would be local Singaporean fare, Japanese and Chinese cuisine. What will be interesting to see is if Singaporeans are going to favour Sashimi and Udon over our local Chilli Crab and Hokkien Mee.

For the sake of clarity, here are the definitions

Singaporean - Hawker food, Chilli Crab, Mee Rebus, Chicken Rice, all the stuff that we call our own cuisine

Japanese - Teppanyaki, Sushi, Sashimi - quite obvious

Thai - Pineapple rice, Papaya Salad, Green curries, Tom Yum etc

Chinese/Cantonese - Steamed Fish, Ee Fu noodles, Peking Duck. Can include Teochew, Hokkien into this category. But Cze Char belongs to Singaporean Local.

Italian - Pizzas and Pasta

European/French - Foie Gras, Steaks, Mediterranean, Cavier etc

The Polling station is found in the right hand column of the blog --------------->

I wonder if we are in for a big surprise?

Incidently, although the pineapple fried rice has Thai origins, you can hardly find them in Thailand. It has become more of a Singaporean dish than Thai.

Still there the last time I was there, but you are right. It is not as popular with the Thais.
