Singapore is known for many types of ethnic cuisine. Although Chinese food is the dominant cuisine, Thai food is also quite popular. In fact, due to its proximity to Thailand, Singapore has many Thai restaurants not only serving authentic Thai food but also with Thai chefs. Enjoy a morning shopping at Singapore's Orchard Road malls, an afternoon of fun at Sentosa Island's Underwater World and dinner at an authentic Thai restaurant.
