Good food guides in Singapore

You will never go hungry in Singapore, with the abundance food guides scattered everywhere online. Singaporeans love to eat, and it's natural for these food guides and reviews on eating establishments to exist everywhere. If you are looking for a place to eat, at your desired budget and atmosphere, here are some good ones for a start:

HungryGoWhere.com
URL: http://www.hungrygowhere.com
Slogan: "To help the global community find good food wherever they are."
Review: There are sufficient readers' reviews to get you somewhere in your quest and thirst for food! You can hit right at your choice of eating establishment with the various category search going by types of promotion, types of food places, types of cuisines, prices, and types of recommendations! All reviews are detailed with ratings on the restaurants' food and beverage, ambience/setting,, value, and service. The entire website is also graphically appealing. Don't be surprised that they have similar food guides for Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Sydney and Melbourne!


Yum.SG
URL: http://www.yum.sg
Slogan: "Yum.sg is the definitive, premier online dining guide dedicated to help you seek, discover and enjoy the best dining experiences in Singapore."
Review: This one present you with a list of best reviewed food establishments upfront without hunting high and low for the best one yourself. Featured articles on food is more significant than readers' reviews. The entire website is also professionally done. However the search function is too simplistic and might not land you in the right one your are looking for. Overall, the emphasis is more on articles (Chef chat, etc) than on food reviews.


Makansutra
URL: http://www.makansutra.com/index.php
Slogan: "Celebrating Asian food, culture and lifestyle."
Review: Makansutra is very much into local delights and hawker fare. It is not a food review portal as it publishes food guides regularly. On its website, you can find tons of episodes of food reviews that appeared on TV, food podcasts, etc. and not forgetting the featured food articles.


S Best Food
URL: http://www.sbestfood.com/
Slogan: "The Most Popular & Informative Bilingual Food Guide"
Review: The plus point about this seemingly amateur website is its billingual capability. It is directory of food establishments in the heartland, each with readers' reviews on it. Website design is simple and amateur, but content is sufficient to serve it s purpose.


Makan Time
URL: http://www.makantime.com/
Slogan: "Makan Time in Singapore - Singapore unofficial food page"
Review: This one is an introductory website to food in Singapore. It describes the various favourite local delights and dishes, more useful to the tourists than to locals. Introduces to various food centres and food culture in Singapore. Website design is pretty amateur.
