In reply to Derek Freal. @Derek: Well Derek, good luck with India. Seems like you have a better stomach than me. I love the street food there and actually, didn't have a problem with it, until I settled in one place for a month. They say, that's when we let our guards down ;-)

@Debbie Ann: Wow,so Singapore lets you test try their wares and if you don’t like it, you can leave it even if you’ve taken a bite out of it? As for India, good to know about the cipro. Can’t remember if I tried going to the pharmacy and they were out of it or what… vaguely remember looking for some kind of medication. I took cipro with me and actually took it, but for some reason I still came down with what I did. Ended up at the doctor’s and then hospital.. and then for reassurance, Bangkok’s hospital. 😉

Singapore is good for the solo traveller as far as eating – you can go to hawker ctrs and look at where the queue is and order that, if you don’t like it, you can just leave it and walk away.

my tip for India is – if you do get sick, you can go to a pharmacy and get cipro and it works very fast – at least that was my experience.

I’ve never had any street food I didn’t like! Granted, some of it may not be the best food ever, but time and time again I’ve found that the local street food tastes better than the same dish in a fancy restaurant — and 1/10 the price. Of course having a cast iron stomach really helps. However I have not been to India yet (coming in 2014) and I feel that country might give my stomach the ultimate test 😉
