I have to agree with the lynx here. It's this whole scene separating wheat from chaff here. There is a lot on offer here which is cool, but 99% gets blown the freak away by stuff me and my buddies played in a garage in high school. (And this is for 50+ bucks cover and drink. If you dig classical or ...

Hey everyone.

I'm a 32m from the US teaching at a primary school for the last few months. I'd love to meet fellow teachers. Did an event ever materialize? Did you all get together and end up hating each other? haha

Hey! I'm a 32 year old American guy from NorCal/OR. I've lived in East Asia about 5 years, but I just moved to SG about 4 months ago. I'm also a teacher, at an international primary school. This is a great idea trying to meet people before you arrive. I've been keeping busy with work (I arrived the ...

I'm pretty sure that SG subscribes to the notion of "racial Malays." Meaning the people from the zone indicated on the map posted earlier in this thread count as Malay. (Pro-tip: racialized societies tend to change or redefine racial definintions when there's a poltical/sociological advantge...that'...

The Chinese Billy Idol is sure in a lot of the pics. (Like half of them of are that same guy...)

:roll: Just question to compare: In immigration forms or citizenship applications in Australia, UK and USA (just to name a few), does one have to state his race? Almost any form in the US that asks your race will have a disclaimer that answering is optional, and offer a "PREFER NOT TO STATE" option...

TGI Friday's is really bad in any hemisphere. Expensive, sugary cocktails with trace amounts of alcohol and overpriced, tiny, crappy food. Their whole buisness model is based on the idea that it's the only place a "nice" girl can drink. (It's true, that was the founder's idea) It just doesn't fly ou...

I see there's a Kraze Burger in Singapore. Anyone tried that? Never blew my hair back, but again in a pinch...

I've always felt In-n-Out is a bit overhyped. Don't get me wrong, it's really very damn good, just not quite the legendary status it's afforded. (I'm from California and have an In-N-Out right by my house) And you're right, Fatburger is not the "same" as In-n-Out. The 5 guys comparison is apt (still...

Fatburger is an iconic California burger chain on par with In-n-Out. (IMO)

They have outlets in Korea and China which are as good as the ones in the states and according to the tray liners there is an outlet in Singapore, but a google search reveals nothing.

Is there Fatburger in SG?

Thanks again everyone. JR8: Thanks for the links. As far as suace: the best homemade will always be better than the best bottled, but you can still get some really nice sauce in a bottle (not sure if that's the case in SG, I'm guessing "no".) It's not that I can't cook, it's just speed and consistan...

Thanks for all the input!

If bottled BBQ sauce is available, I'll lean towards that. Maybe I'm lazy, but the cost/reward on homemade sauce has always been a miss for me.

Thanks everybody.

Hey thanks everybody. The east beach is the only public park you can BBQ in? I expected as much regarding steaks/beef "slabs." It's the same situation all across the Sinosphere. And I have no problem with the "weird" stuff; satay is cool (i don't like the peanut butter tho...do they do that in SG?) ...

Hey everyone. I will be moving to Singapore in about 6 weeks and I am curious about the grilling scene. I'm American and therefore I like BBQ...in all it's forms. I've been n Asia for quite awhile and have had mixed experinces trying to put meat to fire. In Korea and Malaysia I've done some epic BBQ...
