Singapore: Best (Indoor) Street Food in the World

The guidebooks all say that if you visit Singapore, you have to go to the Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling. The venerable colonial-era hotel copes with this onslaught by charging S$27 a pop ($18 US) for the famous cocktail. If this is supposed to keep out the riff-raff,  it doesn't seem to be working. When we visited the hotel's stately Long Bar last week, where the drink was invented, the place was packed with tourists, dressed in the casual blue jeans and short sleeves that Sir Stamford Raffles would have found inappropriate in such a stately Victorian setting.
