There are many street foods available in Canada, here are some of the most popular:
Poutine
This is probably the most popular Canadian street food. It is available in most large cities across the entire country. There are countless varieties, but the most popular version simply consists of french fries, cheese, and gravy.
Beaver Tails

Foreign/Fusion cuisine
Canada is a country built on immigration. Because of this, there are countless individuals from foreign countries, and many have brought their cultural heritage with them. In some cases, a particular restaurant or street food place will merge into different cuisines together, producing an entirely new and unique dish. In the largest Canadian cities, you can find food from virtually every corner of the world, and several items which have been produced by merging two or more cuisines and preparation styles together.
Tim Horton’s
So good. Especially in 30+ weather. Tim Horton’s Ice Cap | by SteFou!
Tim Horton’s is a coffee shop which also sells baked goods like doughnuts, sandwiches, and tidbits one of their most popular foods. Tim Horton’s can be found in almost every Canadian city or town, and there are thousands of locations in the country. It is by far the most popular Canadian fast food place and is arguably an integral part of Canada itself.
Singapore is multiracial so essentially there is a wide variety of foods coming from different cultures, such as Chinese, Malay, Indians, Eurasians, etc..
However, there are some foods which are popular and you can get them in any “food courts: basically, a canteen filled with stalls selling different kinds of foods/ street food“
This list basically is comprised some of what I feel Singaporeans like, so no hates, please
Please note: personally I define street food as the food served in food courts.
Street food Singapore
Chicken Rice
Chicken rice- Singapore street food
This food is essentially rice mixed with chicken which is either Roasted or Steamed ( sometimes they have fried chicken), the rice is much different from normal rice as it has that distinct chicken flavour taste and the sauce is so good ( I literally have no complex words in which I can describe it ) And for most chicken rice dishes it will come with a soup ( chicken soup/ sometimes it’s bean soup, again I’m not too sure because I lack the ability to advocate this, you will have to come to my country to experience it first-hand :p ) which has freshly chopped green onions in it.
This dish originated from the Southern Province of China ( Hainan ) And has made its way here in Singapore, over time it has become popularised among Singaporeans and thus I feel that this deserves to be one of the best foods on the list.
Fun fact: We do have a stall in Singapore which is considered to be one of the cheapest Michelin restaurants ( if I’m not wrong, one bowl of chicken rice costs $2.50 USD ) in the world, and it sells Chicken Rice so you know it’s the real deal 🙂
Nasi Lemak
This dish originated from our neighbouring country: Malaysia, however again it has found its way among us Singaporeans and into one of the most popular dishes in Singapore.
It usually comprises of Boiled eggs, rice cooked in coconut milk, Ikan Bilis ( anchovies ), beans, cucumber and chilli padi ( birds eye chilli ) the dish does vary though as sometimes you can have beef, curry, chicken in the dish as well. ( again do correct me if I made any mistakes.)
This dish originated from SouthEast Asia and has made its way here into Singapore, establishing itself as possibly one of the most famous dish in Singapore! It comprises of Noodles, Boiled Egg and Prawn, the soup itself has this sort of creamy sweet and spicy taste but the mixture is just really good.
It’s a Peranakan dish.
Roti Prata
Any true-blue Singaporean would have certainly tried this dish!
This is Called Roti Prata and is an Indian dish. It is essentially a flat bread that is fried and is usually served with curry ( the curry can differ from vegetable curry to fish curry ). Whichever it maybe it is extremely popular here in Singapore and it can be seen by many people eating it!!
Quick tip: I would recommend this Indian stall located at Kebun Baru it has one of the best ( in my opinion ) best Roti Prata I have ever tried, seriously the crust is crisp and the curry is just fantastic.
Last but not least
Mixed Rice
is essentially a dish starting as rice as the base, where the person gets to choose dishes which are differed according to prices. Essentially turning that empty and sad-looking rice dish into a canvas filled with greens and beans!! I personally love this form of street food as I’m able to do as many combinations as I wish ( steamed egg with long beans and potatoes YUM!, chicken and tofu and fish? Count me in! )
I have to give lots of credit to this dish as essentially this dish is a dish which can be varied in many different ways in which I can imagine!
Anyways, if you have noticed the dishes that are the most popular in Singapore are from different ethnic and groups. Singapore is a diverse society mixed with different race and religion.
These are just some of the most popular dishes in Singapore, there are however even more but I can’t add in as much due to time constraints.
SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR STREET FOODS OF NEPAL ARE:
Momos

The momos(mo:mo:) are the most popular snack in Nepal, and can be found in small eateries or street stalls a bit everywhere along Kathmandu streets. This small dumpling is made from wheat flour, filled with meat, paneer or vegetables, is one of the most popular snacks but is also common as a meal.
Chatpate

Chatpate is a popular Nepali snack that is quick and easy to make. You can find vendors in the streets mixing up the delicious snack and selling it on the spot. The tangy spicy food tastes great when every ingredient is blended in balance.
Sel roti
These deep-fry rings, made from rice flour, are a very popular Nepali breakfast; are made and sold usually during the morning in small shops on the roadside. They are a bit sweet and get crispy just after being made, which make them irresistible, but heavy for a delicate stomach.
Samosa

Apparently originated from the Middle East, the samosa is, without a doubt, a symbol of India gastronomy, especially in term of snacks, and is spread all over the country, as also in neighbouring countries. Nepal didn’t escape to the samosa invasion and this snack is easy to find in the small restaurants and street stalls.
Another popular Indian snack that is easy to find in Kathmandu is the samosa chaat, usually from lunchtime until evening. This snack is made with a samosa broken into pieces, and topped with onion, tomato, yellow peas dal, fresh coriander and curd (sweet yoghurt) and seasoned with cumin powder, chilli powder and Himalayan salt..and a few drops of lime.

It consists of a round, hollow puri, fried crisp and filled with a mixture of flavoured water (commonly known as imli pani), tamarind chutney, chilli, chaat masala, potato, onion or chickpeas.

Locals will often refer to the dish as the Nepali pizza but it could well be labelled a taco given that Chatamaris are generally folded and served with fillings. However, what sets the Chatamari apart from pizzas and tacos are the distinct Nepali spices used and the crepe which is made using rice flour.
Peas, beans, corn, chickpeas… all roasted and seasoned in a different way, usually with a salty and hot mix of species. These snacks are always sold by hawkers and can be found a bit everywhere along the streets.
choila set
Perhaps the most well-known Newari dish, the humble choila goes best with the potent Aila (Newari homemade liquor). Choila is essentially is a spiced up and neatly grilled buffalo meat, and just like the Chatamari, you can find the best ones in Newari Khaja Ghars. To eat Choila like the locals one must order Chmura (beaten rice) as a side dish – this combo rarely goes wrong and your jaws will enjoy grinding the choila and cheura together.
#Sekuwa
The next meat dish on this list is the Nepali bbq meat, also known as the Sekuwa. If you’re a beer lover then you have to try a chilled one with a plate of Sekuwa. While mutton is the preferred meat of choice, you will also find buffalo and chicken sekuwa served in many of the stalls. What makes the Nepali Sekuwa special is the unique combination of herbs and spices, and we’ll go out on a limb here by saying that kebabs ain’t got nothing on Sekuwas!
#Lassi
A drink blend of yoghurt, water, spices and sometimes fruits, sweetened and chill with ice is quite popular in Nepal.
#Curd (Juju Dhau)
This is a rich and thick yoghurt, usually with sugar that traditionally was made in a clay pot. Nowadays is possible to find curd in many places along the city, but the traditional one from Newari region, called Juju Dhau (king yoghurt), made in clay pots are not so common.
#Nepali doughnuts (doughnuts)
Almost so popular as the sel roti, the Nepali version of doughnuts is everywhere, from bakeries to small eateries. This deep-fry dough with the shape of a ring can be eaten plain or stuffed with cream.
This is Part 1 to a series of street food from around the world.

I cannot express my pride each time I play and see people groove to desi music in India and Abroad. This Independence Day, I have a vision of seeing India, as a place where the rest of the world gets their musical inspiration from. Being an Indian, I also wish for stronger rules for the safety of women and children in India. Happy Independence Day, Jai Hind!

With the endless list of problems India is struggling with like – corruption, poverty, sexism, classism, poor infrastructure – pollution is given least priority. Why? Because its impact isn’t seen immediately. And because everyone and every entity are contributing to the carbon footprint at different levels, there is no scope for assigning blame. But how about we forget about the blame and just take responsibility? We all would love a clean and green India, right? A country that isn’t defined as being ‘dirty’ and ‘unhygienic’. APD’s vision is to work on bringing pollution forward as a key challenge to progress and fighting it aggressively. We want to empower citizens to take control of their surroundings and be informed to ask authorities the right questions. We need more reasons to celebrate August 15th than just being relieved by the British. It’s a long journey and we need as many fighters on board to get to destination Swacch Bharath.

We are here yet again celebrating India’s Independence Day. In my eyes, we will attain true freedom, when we as a society will practice equality for men and women. By equality, I do not mean feminism, but I mean, the ability for women to get the same rights as men, wages on the same basis, women getting prominence and equal foot-front in our male-dominated society. Women should also be entitled to be the protagonists in movies, and not used just for objectification. Women to be able to walk freely in the wee hours of the day without having to worry about their safety. Women getting their right for their voice to be heard as well, as their opinion matters too in a society, And also a basic right for women to be educated, as when you educate a woman, you do not only educate one person but an entire family and probably a generation. The day we attain this kind of equality, we will be Independent in the true sense of the word. Happy Independence Day!
