What is it like for kids in Singapore?

Introduction:

While I was still in Singapore, I was invited to have dinner with a professor who happened to live in an apartment located on the campus. While I was there, I had the pleasure to meet the rest of the family, including their daughter named Lauren. She's in first grade, so her mother Eunice helped her to type out the responses to my questions below. I hope you get a chance to learn something new!

What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?:

Breakfast is wholemeal bread with Nutella spread or local sweet pandan kaya spread, or milk with cereal, or an Indian flatbread called Roti prata, served with curry. I’m learning to eat spicy food, so that I can enjoy more varieties of food in Singapore because a lot of our food here has chilli in it. Lunch is noodles or macaroni with meat, fishballs, mushroom or beancurd and vegetables. Dinner is baked salmon with rice, which is my favorite, We eat brown rice at home because it is healthier compared to white.

What is your house like?:

I live in an apartment which has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen with a yard for washing and doing laundry, and a living room. Most apartments in Singapore are very expensive. It costs about 500,000 dollars to own a three bedroom apartment.
