Even most fast food places not named McDolnalds or Burger King are pretty good (In n Out, Five Guys, Chipotle, etc.). yeah it's terrible if you look purely at "american" foods and ignore the whole home cooked aspect of american food. because then all you have is jerky, fast food and cheap processed snacks. lol. if you live in a big enough area you can pretty much have access to everything you want from around the world. i found an iranian grocer the other day and i'm so excited to go get food there. :D
Yeah I feel this is the problem with some of the responses here.

When you're homesick, all you think of is homecooked meals. Not your fancy steaks, meats, cookouts, but a nice bowl of homecooked noodles or whatnot. Then you would realize the greatness that is Singaporean food.

Well i hope wherever you go you enjoy yourself and live the best you can. When you get closer to moving you should make another blog about the places you are thinking about going to get more opinions from locals.

If you're dead set on the food in the US and Canada (seriously...), do so for undergrad. As I've said, get good grades and get a scholarship. Easiest ticket out of Singapore. Then you'll understand why they say the grass is always greener on the other side.

Eh, maybe. You sound like you're being condescending about the idea of moving to US or Canada. You seem to let your own preferences leak over =S

Get a degree in chemical engineering/similarly well-compensated engineering field like petroleum/mining engineering in US and the only hard work you'll have to do is in school. Then you can scoff at people on TL and their employment/money issues.

and the whole variety thing isn't a very smart argument, don't go to the us to eat asian/south american/european food, it does exist but it'll never be as good as the real ones.
