"Singapore's culture of eating is a culture of eating out (...) Statistics can be interesting, and they do tell a story, but words best capture the vignettes of everyday life. For most Singaporeans, makan (the colloquial term for "eat") means many things: it is about the flavour and presentation of the food, the quality of the service and the spontaneity and casual style of dining."
