Makan Apa: Winning the Malaysia-Singapore food war
MARCH 27 — It’s become a little ridiculous how often Malaysians make noise about Singaporeans “claiming” Malaysian food. making Singaporean food courts look like food paradise and we bristle over chicken rice,Yes, our food is better. There’s really no disputing it. But I think it’s perhaps time we stop being so territorial about our dishes.
Let’s face it, Singaporeans are so much better at the marketing game. When it comes to food product placement, we have a lot to learn. We could also learn from Singapore in the service stakes. There is a particular Japanese coffee chain I favour and I find the experience differs greatly in Singapore compared to Malaysia.
In Malaysia, you want water? There is only bottled mineral water at inflated prices and the staff is much less practised at promoting seasonal specials.
