Finally decided to stay with my cousin.
In a way I am happy, I am doing this vacation to Sydney, after coming backing suddenly everything in Singapore will look cheap like dirt.

Look for reviews in Tripadvisor and also important thing is location. If you strictly want indian food, look for location close to an Indian restaurant.
I'm not surprised. I saw an article somewhere some years ago when they said Indians made the worst tourists; one of the reasons was they insist on having Indian food wherever they go. Year after year, it's a toss up among the Chinese, Indians and Americans, at least when it comes to food.Wd40 wrote:You will be surprised how much Indians are attached with their food.

In case of Indians its not just the veg/non veg issue. There are plenty of Indians that eat fish, chicken and egg. However, Indian taste buds have been completely modified because our food always has so much of spices that all other cuisines taste "yuck" to us. Completely bland or tasteless. I had been to the US in 2004 and at that time I used to be quite adventurous and tried all kinds of their food, but I couldnt take more than 2 spoons. Also we overcook our food a lot, I remember trying turkey when in US during thanksgiving time and it felt like raw to me.nakatago wrote:I'm not surprised.

It's like Chinese tour groups eating in Chinese restaurants in Paris or Americans looking for fast food everywhere.
But I digress.
Plenty of food options: vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, gluten-free, organic, free-range, grease-laden. Australian cities attract plenty of tourists and immigrants so there's a bit of everything from everywhere.
