Do you agree?
Singapore has been ranked 52 on a list of the World's Best Cuisines by TasteAtlas that has gone viral even though no one has heard of TasteAtlas before.
For one thing, it is not associated with a famous tyre company like the Michelin Guide.
TasteAtlas is a food website founded in 2018 by a Croatian journalist named Matija Babić.
On Dec 22, it published its yearly "Best Cuisine in the World" list for 2022 with the disclaimer: "Don't hate us, we just count the ratings."
The top 10 countries are:
But if your country tops the list, then you probably could not be happier with it, like the Italian Minister of Agriculture.
Apart from the world's best cuisine list, TasteAtlas also compiles the best places in the world where you can enjoy your favourite dishes.
For example, according to its food experts, the best roti jala in the world is in Singapore – at National Kitchen by Violet Oon.
The restaurant at the National Gallery in St Andrew Road is also recommended by TasteAtlas for its laksa, fish head curry, Hainanese chicken rice, idli, satay, coronation chicken and rendang.
So even though Violet earlier said that some of the taste buds at TasteAtlas had gone awry somewhere, she added: "Some other of the taste buds must be super good because in 2020, the laksa at National Kitchen by Violet Oon was voted best in the world!"
