Explore a hotbed of multi-cultural flavours through our list of traditional and contemporary dining options that include old-time favourites and new-found gems. Whether local or international, find mouthwatering cuisine served every minute of the day – only in Singapore.
Food, glorious food. Hit one of Asia's most vibrant street food and hawker stall scenes for the best chicken rice, laksa and nasi briyani you've ever had in your life - and so much more. By embarking on a culinary adventure in Singapore and eating like a local, you'll learn more about the city and experience it better than you ever could from any ordinary guidebook or tour.
Get acquainted with Straits culture at its best via the ‘Peranakan’ way of life – a rich hybrid blend of Chinese and Malay traditions born after the migration of 17th century Chinese traders to the Malay Archipelago. Experience their unique culture through delicious specialty dishes that include the ayam buah keluak (chicken with buah nuts) and itek tim (salted vegetable duck soup); colourful architecture and furniture as well as intricately embroidered costumes, exquisite ornaments and jewellery.
One of Singapore’s favourite national dishes, the laksa is known throughout the region to have several variations but the most unique to the city is the delicious laksa lemak or nyonya laksa. Brought over by the Peranakans, the best stalls are found in Katong – the battleground of the ‘Katong Laksa War’, where feuding stall owners all claim to have the original and best version of this much-loved noodle dish with rich broth. So why not help them settle the score by trying it for yourself?
