Must-Eat Spots
Hainanese Chicken Rice
海南鸡饭 / Nasi Ayam Hainan
Poached chicken served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken fat and ginger. It's arguably the national dish of Singapore. The chicken should be silky and tender, served with a punchy chili-garlic sauce and dark soy. Pure comfort on a plate.
Katong Laksa
叻沙 / Laksa
A rich, spicy coconut milk broth filled with thick vermicelli, prawns, cockles, and fishcake. In the Katong style, the noodles are cut short so you can eat the whole thing with just a spoon—no chopsticks required!
Pork Rib Tea
肉骨茶 / Bak Kut Teh
Pork ribs simmered in a clear, peppery broth with plenty of garlic. Despite the name, there is no tea in the soup—it's actually the tea you drink alongside the meal to cut through the richness of the pork lard.
Roti Prata
Roti Prata / ரோட்டி பிராட்டா
A crispy, flaky South Indian flatbread made by flipping and stretching dough. It's fried until golden and served with a side of savory fish or mutton curry. It's the ultimate breakfast or late-night supper for locals.
Char Kway Teow
炒粿条
Flat rice noodles stir-fried over high heat with dark soy sauce, chili, cockles, lap cheong (sausage), and pork lard. It's smoky, greasy, and incredibly addictive, known for its 'wok hei' (breath of the wok).
Local Coffee Culture
Kopi
A unique way of ordering coffee using a mix of Malay and Hokkien terms. Whether you like it with condensed milk (Kopi), evaporated milk (Kopi C), or black (Kopi O), there's a specific code for every preference.
