To de-stress, some travel, and some eat. If you do both, congratulations! This article is a godsend. Although Singapore is a food haven with delectable local delights, there are times where we crave for that jajangmyeon we had on our last trip to Korea, or that freshly sliced sashimi from Japan a few years back. We want the OG or none at all.

Unless you always have a few thousand dollars and a lot of time to spare, chances are you�??re not going to be able to travel just for the meal. Lucky for you, authentic international cuisines are available in Singapore as well, if you dig deep enough.

American

Hands up if your childhood dream was to have a birthday party at McDonald�??s to be seen as a �??cool kid�?�.

We�??ve been exposed to McDonald�??s, KFC and Burger King from a young age but there�??s so much more to American cuisines than fast food restaurants. Research revealed that the most popular food Americans love is pizza, steak and hamburgers respectively. However, Americans love their chicken wings too; buffalo wings to be exact. If you�??re on a carb-free diet, you�??d be thrilled to know that Wingstop serves authentic chicken wings from America.

With chicken fried to perfection and a wide selection of flavors and sauces to choose from, Wingstop will definitely leave you returning for more. Wingstop can easily be identified from their aviation-themed decor but in case you miss it, the aroma of freshly made chicken wings is bound to linger in your nose. Salivating at the thought of it? Fancy a free taste of the wings? We want to know!

Japanese

If you�??ve ever been to the land of the rising sun, Japanese food definitely needs no introduction. Sushi, sashimi, takoyaki, ramen, shabu shabu and tempura are crowd favorites but the spotlight today is on yakiniku (Japanese Barbecue) because they�??re pretty under-rated. And, well, pricey.

Tenkaichi is definitely worth a shot if you love your wagyu. The restaurant offers 3 types of buffet - Shabu Shabu, Deluxe and Premium to suit every palate and price point. Wagyu is often associated with being �??expensive�?� but Tenkaichi offers promotions from time to time. This means premium wagyu without breaking the bank; count me in!

Thai

Thailand is not only a shopping paradise. The land of smiles is also home to flavorful, spicy and exotic dishes. If fried insects are not much of a challenge for you, step up your game with our list of exotic dishes available in Singapore.

Pad Thai and Green Curry have been crowd favorites up until Mookata broke the peace. Though it�??s been a couple of years since Mookata (aka Traditional Thai BBQ-cum-steamboat) made waves, they are not leaving any time soon.

Craving for some Thai grilled meat? Siam Square Mookata, one of the pioneer Mookata Restaurants in Singapore, is worth a visit. If you�??ve been there, you�??d know their signature chili sauce is to die for. With 10 outlets scattered across our little red dot, there�??s no reason to miss it! Here�??s why you should visit their outlet at Downtown East - you�??ll get a free meal!
