  imagine if u want to just order nasi lemak, you have to say sooooooo long!
  
  "Hi sir, excuse me. May i have a place of Coconut Rice with Pan-fried Anchovies, Chicken plus egg?"
  
  "oh yes, right away"
  
  "thank you"

  I still remember the Chinese restaurants in London all have "Singaporean Fried Noodle/Rice" on their menus, which is nothing Singaporean at all.

  In HongKong, "Sing Chou Chao Mai"(Xin Zhou Chao Mi) is very common dish that you can order in many place. But in Singapore, i cant find the same type of fried bee hoon.
  
  And in Singapore, they have "Xiang Gang Chao Mian", but well, HK ppl dont fried the noodle that way...... Try finding the type of "xiang Gang Chao Mian" in HK, maybe you will find it in a Singapore restaurant.
