Things "Americano"... and Singaporeana?
Buzzfeed ran an article about things Americans (US Citizens) miss when they go abroad. Or didn't realise was "American" until they couldn't get it. (Throughout this article, I'll use "American" to mean "US Citizen" cos that's what the article did. Apologies to Mexicans, Venezuelans, Peruvians, Brazilians, Ecuadorians, and other "Americans".)
Enormous Supermarket in US. |
1 Free Ketchup. For Singaporeans, it would be chilli sauce.
2 Ranch as default dressing. Singaporeans - Soy Sauce?
3 Ubiquity of red Solo cups. No Singapore equivalent. Sorry.
4 Strong water pressure. Same.
5 Giant gaps in public restrooms. You're on your own here, America.

Mr & Mrs Mohgan's Crispy Prata is a famous name in Joo Chiat. Customers from all over Singapore flock to this hawker stall, willingly waiting for up to 90 minutes to get their fix for the couple’s exceptionally crispy flatbreads.
In March last year, Somasundram Mohgan died after suffering a heart attack. He was 56. After taking a break for six days, Saroja Mohgan, 56, returned to work helming the stall without her husband.
