Water That’s Just Freedom… All Day, Every Day
According to Shin Min Daily News, the water in Singapore is literally free‑flowing—no pumps, no stopping, just a steady stream of pure H2O.
What Sets This Aside from a Fancy Tap
- Grab your drink, no need for a bottle or a water cooler.
- Turn on the tap, and God bless you with an endless supply.
- Perfect for when you’re juggling work, students, and also sipping that coffee.
And Then There’s the “Luxurious” Side of Dining
While water flows for free, some restaurants offer a Reunion Meal that will turn your wallet into a landlord’s ledger.
The price? A staggering $240,000—that’s roughly the cost of a three‑room HDB flat.
If you think you can afford a giant banquet, you might end up dreaming of a mortgage instead. Don’t be surprised if your bill is in the same place as your next apartment!
So, What To Cook?
Next time you’re hitting the eateries, just keep an eye on the cheap water bill and brace for that pricey welcome‑to‑Singapore feast. It’s a gentle reminder that in the Lion City, “free flow” can mean two very different things—one’s a blessing, the other is a potential brain‑fry.
