I spent 19 months (1997-1999) working in the Asia-Pacific region, with a lot of time in Singapore. I loved Singapore (and the whole AP experience) but seldom ate at western style fast food restaurants. Instead I generally (at least for dinner) got the equivalent of local fast food from the food court vendors in (usually the basement of) shopping malls. I was blown away by how good the vegetable based dishes were. I am an American raised in a home where we rarely ate more than corn, green beans, and a few other blandly prepared vegetables so those vegetable dishes made a huge difference in my appreciation of dishes that weren't meat/potatoes/bread.

The McDonalds in Singapore is something else, it's truly elite and top tier. Whoever manages the Pacific region/ Singapore menu needs a raise. I now live overseas but I always miss the mcspicy chicken and look forward to their seasonal releases. One honourable mention was their spicy black pepper Chinese New year burgers back when I was growing up. When Mike bit into the prawn burger I had to look away for a moment cz of the pain, I knew how good it was going to be. (Sigh, bites knuckle)

The Buttermilk Chicken Burger is one of my favourite, you'd think pineapple in a burger might be weird, but it just goes so well together with the rest of it, it's like a freshness that cuts through the grease and provides such a great contrasting texture. I highly recommend that for people coming to Singapore, try it at least once!
