Set Out on a Gastronomically Gratifying Food Journey in Singapore
If you are a foodie traveller like me, you'll fall in love with this destination. During my recent visit to Singapore, I had the opportunity to experience their delicious cuisine. From hawker centres to the Michelin star restaurants, foodie travel is a big scene here in Singapore. Their food heritage is a combination of Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, and Indonesian influences. As a tourist, be sure to try the local food at the local eateries and make a checklist (more like a bucket list) of the places to dine out during your itinerary. Authentic Singaporean Cuisine is an explosion of flavours and every item that you pick will leave tasty memory craving for more! After having tried a lot of their specials, it was indeed a little difficult for me to put a list as this down. But, here are my top five picks that you must try while in Singapore.

The Rich Culture of Drinks
Mexico is a country rich in its culture and family bond. Yeah, the country could be dangerous to go with all the drug cartel killing but when you are looking at the culture and family bond the Mexicans have, it is such a beautiful thing. Everything from the religion to the language to the food—you could see how it is—but what people do not see is also the drinks.

I Love You America… Especially Your Junk Food!
Thank god for American junk food! I've landed 29 days ago on the American continent and, goshh, do I go crazy for all this ridiculous awesome food! I know, I know, today in our society junk food is almost as taboo as saying Voldermort in Harry Potter. I'm even part of that community, you know, the super annoying community that wants to take care of its body, eat better and healthier so as to stay fit and die much older. That community that pushes you to exercise at least once a week - "I promise, try walking for 30 minutes each day, you'll love it and won't be able to stop" - yes, that community! Or at least, I used to be part of it back in Europe and then I got to the U.S.

The Colosseum Was Cool But Cheese Is Better
I will admit that I love food more than most people and can claim to be a true turophile (a connoisseur of cheese: a cheese fancier). So I wasn't surprised when no other tourists we spoke to also had a full itinerary of every meal. I mean, I'm all for "going with the flow," but not when you are in the food capital of the world. Seriously, there are people that wait until they are hungry enough and stop to eat. Yes, they could find a diamond in the rough, but chances are they are about to buy overpriced tourist food (cringe). Is it that people don't care about eating the most delicious food as possible or that they don't have access to modern technology??

The Weirdest Food Laws in the USA That Are Actually Real
Did you know you’ll probably pay a hefty fine if you buy a cold beer or a hot toddy for a moose in Fairbanks, AK? Ensuring the Last Frontier’s moose are teetotalers is just one of the weirdest food laws in the USA. We live in one of the most litigious countries in the world, so it makes sense that some of our food laws are downright odd, strange, and somewhat unnecessary. I’m really a burger and fries kind of diner myself, and I’m a pizza addict, so I’m rarely doing anything illegal at the table. You might be a bit more adventurous than I am, so here’s a baker’s dozen of some of the weirdest food laws in the USA—keep them in mind whenever you sally forth on a culinary adventure.

A Trip Around the World with Nutella
A few years ago, a map—created by the OECD—made the rounds on the Internet, showing the sites of Nutella’s headquarters, sales offices, factories, and sources of all the popular chocolate hazelnut spread’s ingredients. The map was quite impressive; Nutella had quite literally spread itself to all ends of the earth. The advancements of globalization, and improvements in technology and transportation in recent decades, have made it possible for the food on your table to come from practically anywhere. But it also got me thinking: if the food I eat can come from almost anywhere on this earth, how far is it really travelling to get to me? And what kind of impact does this vast distance have on the planet?
