Families have a strong sense of loyalty and respect similarly to us. Most families are also small with one or two children. While people do try to remain close to their more elderly family, they don't tend to live together. Children tend to live with their family until they're married, similar to us, but they tend to hire maids to clean their homes instead of asking their children to clean up. More women are receiving higher education and getting jobs but there is still lots of discrimination involved. Women are still thought of responsible for the home and children despite if they're working.

Family is a big part of our culture. Mainly our families are small with one or two children and because of this, our government would offer financial incentives if you had more children but our country had one of the lowest growth rates anyway. We learn to respect elderly from young ages and normally elderly live with their children. Many children get a job immediately after college to give money for their parents monthly as an allowance of sorts. It is common for children to stay with their parents until they get married. More women are getting higher education and/or jobs and are marrying later in life. Women and men are given equal opportunities. Women are given maternity leave before and after child birth and can get days off for childcare. The same happens for men though the time is normally shorter.

Rice is commonly served with meat and vegetables, even though the meat eaten changes with each persons beliefs. We also common eat potatoes and noodles. We LOVE our spices as Singaporeans so we commonly use garlic and ginger. Many places serve Western-style food including sandwiches, coffee and pasta. Our youth tend to enjoy the  Western-style food more along with Taiwanese bubble tea. We also enjoy traditional desserts such as mooncakes and rice dumplings for the holidays.
