I've been there. Waited almost an hour in the queue - not worth it.


Singapore (the most boring place in Asia... except Korea) is perennially trying to pretend it has an endemic culinary capacity (hint: the locals do truly believe it). The reality is that Bangkok or even Penang (a far tinier and earlier colonial island in Malaysia) are way better. If you want real Chinese, come to China. There are 100 places in every major city with faultless single-cuisine menus served by career specialist chefs.
