The other food that we think represent Singapore is :

PIZZA

We chose this food because :
1: People from any races can try the Hawaiian Pizzas other than the Indian food.
2: When people from other countries came to Jalan Kayu , Pizza has a good taste and it is more of western.
3: More of the teenagers would like to eat pizzas, so if their house is near to Jalan Kayu , they would not have the need to go far to eat pizza.

Story of Jalan Kayu...


The phrase Jalan Kayu literally means “wooden road” in Malay, a name that was derived from the abundance of firewood in the area. The road itself was constructed in 1928 by the British Royal Air Force, which needed access to the rest of Singapore from its camp in Seletar. The district used to be filled with British army personnel, who would go to Jalan Kayu for dinner or shopping. Up till the 1960s, the Jalan Kayu (the road) was lined with fruits and vegetable sellers. The area also used to be abundant with rubber plantations.

To most Singaporeans, Jalan Kayu is best known for its roti prata. There are, however, other things to do in the district besides eat, eat and eat. There are many small retail outlets surrounding the landed property and condominiums here.
