f2f,

I don't know if this is "authentic" at all, but Singaporean restaurants here are usually a sort of hybrid between Malay/Indian/Chinese food.

is a pretty good high-end one (I think 3 Bay Area locations now). There are plenty of cheaper ones that are really good.

Diablo,

Straits is pretty good and their menu is interesting, but there's a great hole in the wall in Menlo Park called Shiot. I'll take you there sometime. It's fantastic.

OP,

Korean food is the nuts. I think I'm gonna make some bulgogi this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!

It's been my experience that the more white people in a restaurant, the suckier it is.

Visit a Korean restaurant that has a lot of Koreans in it, and you'll find an awesome place.

You won't find this at a lot of Korean restaurants(once in a while a place will have it), but you can get it at any Korean supermarket. It's super salty and delicious(and stays good for a long time). I used to live off this, rice, and kimchee in college.

Yeah, my mom makes it. I love the hard boiled eggs.

El,

Yeah, I noticed that alot of these dishs were popular/common in Singapore. How much better do you feel the food is in the high-end places as opposed to a good hole in the wall on the corner?

[fish2plus2]

The hotel I stayed at was right ontop of one of those vegetable/fish markets. Walking through was probably one of the nastiest experiences of my life. Youve got fish all over the place and meat dripping blood, and a whole bunch of these bowls filled with god knows what? It looked like they cut someones stomach open and scooped everything out. Not a pretty sight.
