Every hawker centre, food court and coffee shop has peepur eating alone, both men and women.  You just observe during dinner hours.

Some are Malaysians who work here and rent a room, live alone, or with a roommate.

Some are sinkies who are single.  If you are a man, just find a table with a woman eating alone.

You:  有人坐吗？
Observe how she responds...

1.  Shy.  Shakes her head, shyly, smiles a bit
2.  She shows signs of not being very happy to have to share the table with you.
3.  She does not seem to understand what you said (could be Vietnamese, Burmese who look like a Han)

The second one is a turn off.  The third one...up to you, if you think you are on with a FT-bu.

You:  Is it nice (eyes looking at what she's eating.
Listen to her responses,  Is she happy to reply, friendly...or stuck up?

So many ways to start a conversation, SgBuffet.

Just stand at the mrt entrance and ask any female that walk past you if they are willing to be your gf!

You : want to be my steady??
60 years old rich tai tai : yeah why not!

It is just a number game....you ask 1000 females sure got 1 will say yes!
