No matter where I go in Singapore, every food has this basic taste. For instance, every chicken rice stall at any coffeeshop will have a very similar taste, every char quay teow will have that dark sweet sauce. They each have their unique taste, that taste which we could proudly say that it's Singapore style(even thou, we really just stole it from a neighboring country and modify a little).
Being away for 2 months now, I could almost cry thinking of all my favorite food! Even if you use the exact same ingredients, or even when a restaurant name it the Singapore style laksa or char quay teow, it's just not the same. Soy sauce differ a little here, texture of the noodles differ a little here, alittle here and there do adds up and it ain't the same unique taste any longer :(
