When it comes to food in Singapore, we are spoilt for choice as there are a huge variety of cuisines to choose from. Our all-time favourite food in Singapore include prawn mee, chicken rice, and char kueh teow.

Just take a look at this video by Mothership, where they ask people on the streets who their favourite president is.

LEE KUAN YEW!?

The late Lee Kuan Yew was never a president. He was our prime minister.
