ChilliCrab
Before I went to Singapore, I tasted this "national dish of the Lion City" for nothing. Chilli Crab is the essence of this dish. The sauce is made with chili and tomato paste, making it spicy, sweet and sour. As soon as the crab shell is peeled off, the sauce gushes out and you can enjoy the tender and firm crab meat. You can also order some steamed or fried buns for dipping. In addition to chili crab, there are rich flavors to choose from such as black pepper, white pepper, salted egg, and cream. Most seafood restaurants serve them and they are priced according to the type and weight of the crab. Because the crabs are large, one is enough for two people.
Meat Bone Tea BakKutTeh
Meat Bone Tea is not actually a tea, but a soup made from pork bones and herbs, which is both delicious and nourishing. Singapore's Bak Kut Teh has fewer herbs and a lighter, but more chili-flavored broth than those in other Southeast Asian countries. In addition to the "Bone Tea Companion" fritters, some refreshing dishes such as pancetta, pickled vegetables and salted peanuts are also worth ordering. People used to get tired of drinking tea after soup, but now barley water is a more common accompaniment. A serving of pork bone tea is S$7-9 (about RMB34-44).
Laksa Laksa
The abundance of ingredients is one of the main features of Laksa's specialty noodle soup. The spicy soup and the sweetness of coconut milk, you can also taste the deliciousness of shrimp, fresh clams, blood clams and fish cakes. Only one bite of rice noodle and one bite of soup can taste the level of its flavor. Interestingly, some stores serve sarah cut into short strips that must be scooped into the mouth with a spoon rather than chopsticks. As the birthplace of sarah, the Gadong area is home to a collection of the most authentic sarah ground stalls, with bowls of sarah ranging from S$5-7 (about $24-34).
Meat Meat Noodles BakChorMee
Meat cu is a Hokkien dialect word meaning "minced meat" and "minced meat". Therefore, meat noodles are somewhat similar to the well known minced meat noodles. In particular, most of the meat noodles are fishballs simmered with fresh fish and shiitake mushrooms. Wontons and dried fish also add color. Meat noodles are categorized into dry and soup noodles, thick and thin. Please check with the store before ordering. Noodles with meat and vegetables in marinated egg and purple cabbage is the local way to eat them. A bowl of noodles costs as little as S$3.50 (about R17) at regular stalls.
Fish Head Curry FishHeadCurry
In the spicy curry, apart from the main dish of red snapper head, there is also an abundance of vegetables such as eggplant, okra, string beans and tofu. For visitors who can't eat spicy food, you can order rice to neutralize it. There are many kinds of rice to choose from, such as white rice, grabbed rice, and vegetable rice. You can also order a puff pastry or steamed bun and dip it in curry. Interestingly, this Indian food can be found in most of the restaurants in Singapore's Little India, but you can't get it in India.
