I'm not Rona, but I wouldn't pass up at least a quick trip to
Singapore for the food. Alas, we didn't make it there on this past
summer's trip to Malaysia. BTW, I wouldn't pass up Malaysia for great
eats, either. My Malaysian relatives claim the food is much better
than Singapore and cheaper, but that's what you'd expect them to say!
Seriously, just about everything I ate during a three week stay
(Kuala Lumpua, Cameron Highlands, Ipoh, Melacca, Penang, Langkawi) was
excellent. Best meal, however, was in Ipoh, which isn't really much
of a tourist town. I think it'd be hard to go wrong choosing a decent
food court and seeing what the locals are eating.

Have fun on your trip, and I too, would love to see a trip
report when you're through!
