Briyani is one the most-popular and food in Singapore, and it can be found easily in most Indian eateries. One of the most distinctive features about this dish, its the Basmati rice, which looks much longer than your typical rice grain.

Heed our advice, the longer rice grain will make the meal more filling, so restrain yourself when ordering to try out different Indian Cuisine spices and food! The eateries will be happy to see you come back again🍴

But if your spice tolerance isn't too great, avoid spicing too much curry into your Briyani at once, otherwise you will suffer doubly in Singapore's heat.

An interesting cultural phenomenon, "πΆβ„Žπ‘œπ‘π‘’-𝑖𝑛𝑔" to reserve a seat, typically in food courts or coffee shops is a popular move by locals.

Any object with a some perceived value can be used. For example, tissue papers, name cards and even umbrellas are common objects utilised to reserve seats.

The act of πΆβ„Žπ‘œπ‘π‘’-𝑖𝑛𝑔 provides assurance to the individual that they will have a table to have their meal at the coffee shop. On the other hand, if the person is unable to "πΆβ„Žπ‘œπ‘π‘’" a seat, he can make an informed choice of a take-away instead.
