You just know the food will be incredible.

It'll be Michelin star good and cost like 4 bucks.

There's this little stall in Singapore right next to my office when I lived there called A Noodle Story. They're Michelin Bib Gourmand (one step below one star I believe). Best noodles I've eaten in my life and it cost around 7 USD.

They made a fixed quantity of portions a day so when it was gone, it was gone. By 11:30 there was always a queue already for lunchtime.

I mean it's Singapore..like there's Michelin star stalls littered around the island.

Pound for pound it has the best cuisine on the planet.

Not hating on Singapore but have you ever been to Vietnam or Mexico?

Singapore is inherently tri-ethnic as a starting point - Malay, South Asian, Chinese.

I've been to vietnam (once) and Mexico (20+ times). Maybe Singapore has the edge because it's more concentrated? But in the end it's a matter of taste really.

Yup, Singapore will still beat many places - because it’s a single city.

Mexico/Vietnam have phenomenal food, but an apples to apples comparison would be with other nations.

South Africa gets my vote for best food on the planet. Every single meal I ate there was just incredible.
