Want to know the best thing about Singapore? It's got to be the food! You can never, ever starve in this city.

If you need a gastronomic guide to the various culinary delights that span this island, then you've come to the right place!

From hawker centres to foodcourts to restaurants, this article will give you an idea of the places to get delicious food in Singapore.

1. Hawker Centres
One of the long standing staples of the local food scene, the hawker centre is a traditional eating place found in housing estates like Ang Mo Kio and Clementi.

They offer a huge variety of food, from satay, nasi lemak to fish and chips. I typically eat at these places with my family in the weekends.

2. Foodcourts
Foodcourts tend to be air-conditioned and sitting in shopping malls like Bugis Junction, Raffles City or Takashimaya Shopping Centre.

Typically, they sell food like the hawker centres, but they are pretty consistent in their offerings. What you see in one foodcourt will typically be offered in another one.

3. Fast Food
You will be familiar with this one - we're talking about McDonald's, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Your kids and family members will love these if you cannot find time to check out local fare.

4. Cafes
There are various cafes that sit around the island, such as Starbucks, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. You can also spot Delifrance and places which sell cakes like Secret Recipe.

You can sit down, relax and sip on a cup of coffee while reading your favorite book. These places usually offer broadband internet connectivity as well, so that you can check email if you brought your laptop along.

5. Restaurants
There are thousands, I repeat, thousands of restaurants in Singapore. You can savor the taste of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Western and all sorts of fusion food. Since the restaurants are too various to mention, you can check out this guide to help you along.

Conclusion
Well! That's a whole lot of eating places, huh? Remember, never fret if you cannot find food in Singapore. Most likely, there is a very decent eating place near where you stand. Happy eating!
