We really have all sorts of food here- Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Indian, Korean, Mongolian, Italian and much more. But if you are here for a good period or even a day or two, you must dig in to some Singaporean delights or Singaporean Cuisine.

Let’s start with some popular Chinese delicacies- we love our “Ba Kut Teh”, “Dim Sum” and “Char Kway teao”, “Chicken Rice”, and the all-time favourite peranakan dish“laksa”.

The “Ba Kut Teh” is the Chinese version of the Indian-Muslim mutton ‘tulang’. Pork bones are immersed into Chinese tea with herbs and brewed for hours. It’s usually brewed in a clayed pot. “Ba Kut Teh” lovers savour the flavoured and fragrant soup and always go back for more. “Ba Kut Teh” can be found at hawker centres, food centres, coffee shops and even small restaurants.

Before I proceed further and give you an even longer list of the best bites, let me inform you about Newton Food Centre. It’s a favourite chill-out area for late party goers on the weekends as they throng there after a thirsty and tiring night out. At Newton you will find the flavours of the Singapore Cuisine- a mixture of the malay, Chinese and Indian food. At Newton you’ll find many stalls serving hot ‘Sambal stingray’, juicy ‘Satay’, spicy ‘Mee Goreng from the Indian stall and to top all these a comfortable, airy environment.

Newton Food Centre is along Clemenceau Avenue North.

Have you tried ‘roti-prata’ or ‘thosai’? ‘Roti prata is a panake made of dough composed of fat, egg, flour and water. It is usually served with curry or, more rarely, with sugar or condensed milk. The ‘thosai’ is made of lentil and rice flour and is made into a batter that is spread out into a thin circle over little butter or oil.

These two popular Indian dishes can be found almost under any coffee shop and now even in Food courts. You need not travel all the way to Little India just to eat ‘Roti prata’, because I reckon some neighbourhood stalls make even better tasting ‘Thosai’ and ‘Roti prata’.

For those who would like to pamper themselves with a good hearty restaurant meal, Holland Road would be the best place to search for a variety of restaurants. No doubt, the meal’s at these restaurants cost more, but you will appreciate the ambiance, service and of course the culinary expertise of the chef.

Food is relatively cheap in Singapore- you can still get a plate of ‘Char Kway Teao’ for two dollars and the same price for a plate of Chicken Rice. Scout around in your free time for more eating places. The idea is to look for a clean place, with a variety of dishes that are replaced on a daily basis and also within an affordable range.
