When you go to a totally different country, you’ll definitely not want to miss out on the local delicacies that you won’t get to try in Singapore, right? Most people won’t make a trip all the way to the other side of the world just to try McDonald’s.

Well, as they say, when in Rome, do what the Romans do.
