It’s not the greatest place, but it’s not bad either.
I havven’t looked around too much for Singaporean food here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were others in SF. A lot of the Chinese restaurants have Singaporean dishes.

4. They still might charge you if you asked them to do work, especially if they know game theory.

If the latter, you would have to factor the missing pieces into the game and recompute the solution.

@Troy: I had the exact same thought.

Singapore is a small country/city (about 3m of the population of 5m were actually born there), so finding a Singaporean restaurant in the US is about as likely as finding say a Finnish restaurant.
