A video of a woman who has developed a habit of eating ‘dosa’ every day after starting her life in Singapore has recently gone viral on social media. The young foreigner who shared the video jokingly wrote that she came to Singapore just to eat dosa every day. In the video, she is seen enjoying hot dosa at a local food stall and has made it a part of her daily diet. This simple but interesting experience quickly caught the attention of netizens.
According to many, it is not just food, but a reflection of Singapore’s multicultural food tradition. This South Indian dish is now known as one of the most popular street foods in the city. As a result, such a love for dosa by a foreigner has become a matter of great joy for the locals as well.

Dosa is a traditional South Indian dish, made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils. It looks like a thin crepe and is usually served with sambar and chutney. Over time, this dish has also gained immense popularity in hawker centers in Singapore.
