A Taste of the Singapore Culinary Scene

Are you looking to indulge in rich and aromatic cuisines? There’s no escaping the food coma because Singapore’s tantalising flavours are so inviting, you’ll find yourself coming back for more – in the best way.

Another one of Singapore’s finest specialities is its seafood. Locals love to relish the subtly sweet, yet deeply savoury chilli crab – an exciting cultural experience for anyone who hasn’t had a taste yet.

Must-Try Dishes and Dining Hotspots

From diverse street food to Michelin-starred restaurants, discovering the best food in Singapore offers so many fascinating options.

Here are some top dishes you don’t want to miss out on:

Char kway teow
For those who are elated at the thought of street food, Char kway teow is an iconic stir-fried noodle dish made with flat noodles and yellow wheat noodles. This tasty dish gets its bold flavours from the garlic, sweet soya sauce and lard, complemented by bean sprouts, egg, fish cake, and cockles.
Chilli crab
Blending sweet, savoury and spicy gravy, chilli crab is a signature seafood dish in Singapore, cooked in a chilli-hot tomato sauce. The explosion of flavours is something that locals find utterly delicious!
Hainanese chicken rice
You can’t go wrong with a plate of steamed chicken served with jasmine rice cooked in chicken stock. It gets significantly better when you pour dipping chilli sauce, ginger sauce, or soy sauce over it. There’s an excellent reason why Hainanese chicken rice is a staple for many locals!
Laksa
Another iconic noodle dish is the extremely popular Laksa – rice noodles cooked in rich, spicy coconut curry, shrimp, egg, and fish cakes. Comforting and aromatic, this dish is an essential part of the Singapore food scene.
