Fusion Food in Singapore

Website Link
This is definately a hybridisation where you combine two cuture in turn of foo and get the 3rd type, FUSION food, but then yet how real are such creation?In relation with globalisation, this can definately be seen as culture of food of different countries are being exported and imported and combined. Most interestlingly, this site is part of the Singapore tourism board effort of promoting SIngapore as a tourist attraction

Tourism is definately a globalsiation issue whereby in this case, tourist attraction are created in order to market singapore. In this case, Fusion food had been created by combinng food in particular the local whihch are more eastern and the western. No body wants to go to a place that is the same or similar to theirs and so things have to be created?

What is interesting about this website is that it state it as local speak and saying that it would be boring just to have local food and they actually introduce fusion food such as Pizza Prata, chilli crab spaghettie, ba kua pie, Laksa pesto pasta and most astonoishingly DURIAN fried rice....ya, durian friend rice, i bet alot of you do not even know that you can use durian to fried rice, but hey, they actually did it. The intersting is that most of these fusion food which are supposed to be so singaporean are actually quitte unfamiliar to most of us, SIngaporeans. There are also other many instances of local fusion food such as Peranakan and roti John but yet they were not mentioned in this section as part of the foreign attraction?
