A Beginner's Guide to the Singapore Hawker Center

Great beginner's guide, Chris. Good seeing you in Singapore.

Eric> While no one really says sudah makan, I think 'makan' has been incorporated into Singlish - makan can, go makan, makan makan, etc. I'd say it's slang since it's used by most Singaporeans no matter the race/dialect.

While we're on slang, Chris, don't forget 'chope' -- meaning what you do with those tissue packets to reserve a seat.

For one, I agree with his comment. Secondly, is it really that big of a deal to say someone's food sucks. I'm sure there are plenty of you who have left a friend's or restaurant thinking or even saying outloud, 'that sucked.'

Should the Health Department Crack Down on Raw Eggs in Cocktails?

As a lover of eggs in all forms, especially raw (in my ramen!), put a warning on the menu and let the customer decide! The Health Dpt is doing its job, but they need to relax.
