Def!nd was able to understand "find roti prata" and "char kway teow" accurately, words that Siri will not.

Siri may not be able to search for businesses outside of US or understand our Asian accents, but fret not Singaporeans, we now have Def!nd.
Launched by local telco SingTel, Def!nd is a digital concierge app which is able to do some things Siri cannot. Def!nd can locate nearby restaurants and amenities, book taxis and find shopping deals. Through the app, users can even book a restaurant and receive an SMS confirmation.
The best part? You don't have to be a SingTel subscriber or own an iPhone 4S to use Def!nd.
Despite the exclamation mark in its name, Singaporeans obviously have no troubles finding Def!nd, as it has become the second most popular lifestyle app in the local Apple App Store. The free app is also available for download on the Android Marketplace.
We caught a glimpse of Def!nd at SingTel's iPhone 4S launch, but weren't able to test it out. Now you can take a look at our tests in the screenshots below.
