It's almost Token 2049, let's talk about some details of dining in Singapore
Most restaurants require advance reservations, and those who do not make a reservation may have to wait for a long time. When booking, please also confirm if there are any dining time restrictions, and remember to cancel in advance if there are any changes to the itinerary. You can usually go directly to the hawker center and ordinary food stalls.
Most restaurants in Singapore charge a 9% tax and a 10% service fee, which will be included in the payment slip.
3. The vast majority of Singaporean restaurants do not allow bringing your own meals, and if you insist on not bringing your own meals, it depends on whether the restaurant is competing with you.
4. Some Singaporean restaurants do not offer complimentary drinks and there will be a bottle opening fee, which can be negotiated. Generally, if the private room is fully booked, it can be negotiated. I have seen the most expensive bottle opening fee, which is 60 Singapore dollars. Generally, 20 to 30 Singapore dollars is considered normal.
5. Water and wet wipes may not be free, and some restaurants may charge separately. When the waiter hands it over, you can ask in advance if you don't need anything, and also check the details when checking out.
Before eating crabs, lobsters, or live fish, confirm the pricing unit first. Some prices are for every 100 grams, not for the whole dish. It's best to ask the waiter to clarify the weight and total price of the entire dish before confirming the order.
7. Keep some new currency cash and change with you, it will be more convenient to go to the vendor center or food court for meals. Before making payment, check what methods the booth supports. It's not a default that every store can use credit cards or payment apps on your phone.
8. Seeing a pack of tissues or anything else on the table in the vendor center could be someone else occupying a seat.
9. Some privately operated coffee shops may restrict taking out drinks, and some shops may even mind bringing their own water. Pay attention to the on-site notices, and if there is a dispute, there is no need to affect the itinerary for this matter. Just switch to another restaurant.
10. After finishing a meal at a hawker center, food court, or coffee shop, the tray and utensils should be sent to the recycling area, and the paper towels, packaging, and other garbage on the table should also be cleaned up. This has clear regulations.
11. Drinking alcohol in Singapore at night requires a liquor certificate, even in restaurants where alcohol cannot be served after midnight.
Is there anything else that needs to be added?
