Tony Bourdain in Singapore

As we mentioned in our preview on Friday, the T, the Times Travel/Style mag, featured a ramble through Singapore by our own personal man-crush, Tony Bourdain. As you'd expect, it made us so...very...hungry.

Bourdain forgoes any real discussion of the country itself to focus on the mélange of culinary influences there, including Malaysian and Chinese. We'll give you, well, a taste of his summary:

It was another day in foodie paradise. And that is Singapore's singular danger. It is easy to get sucked in, to get used to the little things on your daily table -- the tiny dishes of sambal or chopped red chili peppers, the soy sauce, even the moist towelettes. You begin quickly to expect them, to take them for granted. And once you get used to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes, there is no going back.

Yup, Singapore will hold you hostage, at least until you spit out your gum in public.
