Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

Ah brown sugar boba, pretty good. One of the latest fad/craze right now. Another new shop from Taiwan opened just days ago - Tiger Sugar at Capitol Piazza. 

But you have to do gula melaka, it's decadent. 

 

There's also a cafe Sinpopo Brand https://goo.gl/maps/F82ssAdLVVL2 which sells gula melaka cake. Some people love it. 

 

And then if you're in Katong area, Birds of Paradise is a hugely popular ice cream shop https://goo.gl/maps/q5Kwp5T3Ez82. 

 

 

The thing I like about our food is that many of it is local dishes, or localised variants that are different from the original. So there's alot of Singapore culture and taste in it. 

I mean, I can recommend very good Greek food (Blu Kouzina https://goo.gl/maps/Su4LpysBxhR2), very good Italian (Ristorante de Valentino https://goo.gl/maps/Sp8ZUmjwMA62), very good and expensive sushi (Shinji https://goo.gl/maps/oefqs3Q71VT2), very good French breton crepes (Entre-nous https://goo.gl/maps/Wsugf9o2htR2)

But really, things like Rochor beancurd https://goo.gl/maps/cNTmZCX1svq, Chris Kway Chap https://goo.gl/maps/LAsG7e8TdYE2, Lor mee https://goo.gl/maps/VK3o3hTv18v is the hard core authentic stuff. 

 

Whoever is bookmarking these, be warned some of the local small stalls might have odd opening hours! Most markets or hawkers are mostly open in the early morning till maybe lunch time, to cater to the wet market shoppers. Some hawker centres are specially for the night owls, like Newton, Bedok 85, Makansutra. They both have different atmospheres and choices of food types.

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

Really an interesting topic @AngieYC.

 

I am curious and would like to ask have you ever visited Singapore @hereisFU? What do you think about the food culture, is it different from the Taiwan one?

 

P.S.: I have one more question to ask you @hereisFU, you do speak Chinese language, right? : ) 

 

對了,這裡有很多好吃的 @KoyoWu!你怎麼看呢?

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

@AngieYC: There is simply too much to eat in Singapore! Will look into eating Hai Dilao next time!! 

 

@JulienH: Luckily we missed the lunch rush that day for the Coconut Club, arrived around 2pm, so it was not too busy at all. The place was rather hipster.

Wish I had known about the avocado shake at Alexander Food Market. I was staying within walking distance there at my friend's place! But next time!! 😄 

 

@DoriyaKiz: Looks like I'm going to have to add wagyu beef onto Singapore eats for another time!

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

Those are some great moments that you all had in Singapore. I am really looking forward for the moment I can go there and try out all those delicious dishes.

 

I got quite curious as it looks like @Shirley you are also a spicy lover. : ) Have you heard of @AngieYC' Indonesian spices from Level 1 to Level 30. Curious if both of you can handle great spicy levels.

 

Every time I am eating noodles or fish, if it is missing the spicy flavor I don't find it delicious at all. What about you @KimLong? What are your levels of spiciness you can handle? 🙂

Hello @JulienH,

 

You are a true foodie, one question have you ever visited Indonesia?

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

Hahaha @TsekoV!! Looks like I fooled you. I can kind of eat spicy but to be very honest, not really, just ask some of my friends.

When I visited Indonesia, I couldn't eat many things and people were so surprised when I would say that something is spicy and they'll tell me it isn't at all!

I don't think I'd be anything like @AngieYC with spicy!!! But weird thing is, I love jalapeno flavoured chips, no idea why or how that works!!

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

Hello @Shirley,

 

That is so true, I think Indonesian tongue are different than others, I got the same look here when people think the food are crazy spicy, but its completely normal for me. I don't know about @iyudhi though. 

 

But at least @TsekoV had tried my level 10 spicy chili flakes.

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

@AngieYC A little bit off topic - I went to high school in Auckland, New Zealand, and I stayed with homestay parents there. Sometimes I will bring Indonesian hot sauce (Sambal ABC) from Indonesia so I can have it with my dinner. My homestay parents saw me casually putting the hot sauce in my food, so she put a little bit on her finger and taste it. Her eyes got widened, and quickly drank a bottle of water. I was so scared because it looked like she was choking. I guess it's true us Indonesians have much higher tolerance to spicy food than others 😛

Re: 3 must-try restaurants in Singapore

Well @Shirley looks like I really got fooled by looking at the photos you shared. : ) I see you are also a food lover, which dish was your favorite one from your trip to Singapore?

 

It is also hard for me to take high levels of spices, but mild levels are pretty much delicious to my tongue.

 

你會吃辣椒嗎 @KoyoWu?

@TsekoV比起辣椒,我對這篇文章的烤鴨更有興趣😋看起來好吃極了!
