Food and Dining

Food in Singapore

1. You can find any type of cuisine – Chinese, Indian, Malay, American, Swedish, Filipino, and etc.

2. Hawker food are the cheapest, a meal would normally cost S$2 to S$4 (P66 to P132)

3. Fast food is expensive, if you try to convert it in peso. One cheeseburger meal in Mcdo would cost $6 (P198).

4. In our stay, we loved Long John Silver, prices are reasonable and has good food – fried chicken, fish, shrimp, fries and chips.

5. Kopitiam is the term used for their food court. Most malls have Kopitiam, and food here are more decent and clean compared to Hawkers.

6. Take-Away is the term used for take-outs. Eat here for dine-in.

7. IKEA Cafeteria offers great and delicious Swedish food. We loved their meatballs.

8. You can find authentic Chinese food in ChinaTown. Only in Singapore, I tasted authentic Siopao and Siew Mai. (Super Sulit!)

9. Nasi Lemak, a malay food, a combination of egg, fried chicken, Malay “sausage” (not sure what it’s called), dried fish, rice and a bagoong like sauce that is really spicy. They have different combinations, better try them all. 

10. Ice Kachang is Singapore’s halo-halo. But it is more icey, colorful and full of different gulamans.

11. TCC The Coffee Connoisseur, best coffee shop to hang out with friends A bit pricey but worth it.

12. Satay chicken, pork, mutton with peanut sauce is also delicious. You can try these in Raffles station – Lau Pa Sat. We ordered these with rice, a sticky rice that doesn’t look like a rice, more like a puto. So embarrassing we asked 3 times, where’s our rice?
