The Ordinary Patrons – real dining experience of ordinary people


Singapore Food Blog

The Ordinary Patrons write about Singapore restaurants, cafes and other food and beverage establishments we visit – giving our frank opinion about the food, service and atmosphere of the place and whether we think the prices give good value. We visit an eatery just as the average customers do and pay for our own meals. This Singapore food blog may give a glimpse of where ordinary locals eat in Singapore.

Singapore Food

Singapore is famous for its food – from local Michelin star hawker fare to food in celebrated restaurants said to be “worth taking a plane ride for” by the New York Times. The number of Singapore restaurants, cafes and food stalls is staggering and new places for food & beverages sprout up by the week. Yet you commonly hear in Singapore –  What to Eat?  Where to eat? – and there is a constant search for the latest food guide and restaurant reviews. Browsing this independent Singapore food blog may help you decide what to eat and where to eat in Singapore.
