Singapore
Singaporean cooking is what happens when Malay, Chinese, Indian and Peranakan kitchens share one hawker centre for a century: chili crab sits three stalls down from fish head curry, and both are somebody's regular order. Coconut curries, tea-dark broths and kopitiam sweetness move fast, eaten standing at Formica tables under the whir of ceiling fans.
