Singapore is also a top place for backpackers for cheap local food. All food courts and local food stalls are highly recommended. Also, most Singaporeans usually eat
one or two meals a day at their local eatery usually
found on each block in the residential areas. This is
also a excellent option for cheap local fare.

Many accommodations options exist for Backpackers
in non tourist areas including such establishments as:

YMCA International House
Backpacker Hotel
Backpacker Cozy Corner Hotel
Fort Canning Lodge YMCA
The Metropolitan Y
