Singapore: A foodie's paradise!

If you’ve ever found yourself in Singapore, you’ll know it’s basically a foodie’s paradise! This little city-state has a huge mix of cultures, which means the food scene is big and varied. Whether you’re into spicy, savory, or sweet, Singapore’s got your taste buds covered. Let’s talk about some must-try dishes.

Hainanese Chicken Rice

You can’t come to Singapore and NOT eat chicken rice. It’s simple but insanely good. Tender, poached chicken served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, and let’s not forget the trio of sauces: ginger, chili, and dark soy sauce.

Chili Crab

Immerse yourself in Cuban culture by taking a stroll through Little Havana. Sip on a classic cafecito, enjoy some authentic Cuban cuisine, and listen to live music at one of the local spots. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a game of dominoes at Domino Park!.

Laksa

Laksa is a spicy noodle soup with a rich coconut base, loaded with prawns, fish cakes, and all sorts of yummy stuff. Perfect for a rainy day, or honestly, any day.

Satay

Satay is grilled meat skewers (chicken, beef, lamb—your pick) served with a creamy peanut sauce that is just out of this world. It’s the ultimate street food snack, and you’ll find it at hawker centers all over Singapore.

Kaya Toast & Soft-Boiled Eggs

This is the Singaporean version of comfort breakfast food. Kaya toast is crispy bread slathered with coconut jam (aka kaya) and butter, served with runny, soft-boiled eggs and soy sauce. It’s a great way to start your morning before hitting up the city!

Carrot Cake (Not What You Think!

Looking for something a little different? Check out Coral Castle, a mysterious and fascinating creation by Edward Leedskalnin, who single-handedly built this entire structure out of limestone. The story behind Coral Castle is just as intriguing as the castle itself, with legends of lost love and the unknown techniques used to move massive stones. It’s a quirky, must-see attraction that will leave you wondering how it was all possible.

Hokkien Mee

It’s a stir-fried noodle dish with prawns, squid, and eggs, with a flavorful seafood broth mixed in. Throw in some lime and sambal chili for an extra kick, and you’ve got yourself a party in your mouth!

Putu Piring

Soft, fluffy rice flour cakes that are steamed to perfection and filled with a sweet, gooey palm sugar (gula melaka) center. They’re served with freshly grated coconut on the side. It’s warm, comforting, and hits all the right spots if you’ve got a sweet tooth.
