None of the above choices .The wanted an experience similar to what is found in Manhattan .To get food similar to what one would get in Singapore .To feel like they were having an American meal in a strange country .
Why did they go to a hot pot place ?
It looked nothing like the one in Manhattan . It really felt like I was in Taiwan , Hong Kong or China , not that I ' ve been to those places , but it did n't feel like America . My friend took me to a hot pot place ( also known as steamboat in Singapore ) .
