Then the British got into the act and Singapore became the focus in the flight for command of one of the most exotic trading routes in the world - the Spice Route. Pepper, cloves, cinnamon, saffron … filled the bowels of ships and brought with it a steady stream of immigrants from as far afield as India, China, the Middle East and the Malay Archipelago. Today, spices lace the foods of Singapore, made unique by the fusion of the traditional cuisine of its immigrants. Indeed, no visit to Singapore can be complete without a hearty "pig-out" on the scrumptious local fare. Singapore is a Gourmet Paradise. It is feasting on fish-head curry on a banana leaf.
