Every place will have its own specialties, today I will talk to you about Singapore's specialties, you can look at some of them when you go, these are still some good specialties, suitable for sending family and friends, you can take a closer look.
FoodPandan Chiffon Cake
This one is definitely a crowd pleaser as a companion gift!!!! Ever since I bought one at the airport one time when I was starving and was instantly enamored, I recommend this cake whenever I have friends over! Whether it's a 70 or 80 year old lady from China or a Qatari guy in his early twenties (who is Halal about this cake), all of them gave it a thumbs up!!!!
The green color of this cake is due to the aroma of a local spice called Pandan, and the point is that it tastes so good it explodes! You'll know if I'm exaggerating when you go buy a slice and try it.
I recommend buying Bengawan
Solo brand, although the price is a little higher (RMB 70), but the taste is guaranteed ~ after eating his Pandan cake, I don't have the heart to try others. You can buy a small piece to try first, and then buy a whole cake if you like it.
It is available in all major shopping centers across the island and can be found on their website. If you bring it back home, it is recommended to buy it at the airport, because the shelf life is only a short 3 days Oh
Jerky
This is also something I must buy every time I am hungry at the airport waiting for the plane, and it is also a long time in the list of major Singaporean handicrafts. The flavor can also be considered a crowd pleaser, oily but not greasy, with a little bit of just the right amount of sweetness.
The more common brands are Mei Zhen Xiang and Lin Zhi Yuan.
First, the more popular Lin Zhiyuan, which I've honestly never had because it's super crowded every time I pass by, and I don't want to wait in line that long for a few slices of jerky. But if you feel compelled to buy it (like if your girlfriend threatens to break up if you don't buy it), then you can also go early and wait for the store to open.
The other one is Meizhenxiang, which is the one I buy every time, and I think it tastes pretty good too. The most traditional type of jerky is pork jerky, but sometimes I don't want to eat pork, so I'll buy his chicken jerky.
Both brands have multiple outlets island-wide. Both have many flavors to choose from, original, black pepper, chili, and BBQ. You can choose between the vacuum-packed ones (which have a longer shelf life), or the freshly baked kind.
Yellow Pear Tart
This is actually a Singapore pineapple tart with the filling on the outside, which is very sweet and sour.
The graduation ceremony that mom came over to buy two boxes said to bring to colleagues, the results of the father said on the plane demolished a box ate a mouthful and could not stop, so not sent out before all into the mother's stomach I first returned to the family to bring the accompaniment of this, because the teacher just came to Singapore when we went out to play the introduction of this little thing, I ate it on the addicted.
No particular recommended brand, I feel that I have eaten the flavor is good. The packaging of Meizhen Xiangjia will be more beautiful, more decent to send people, but also slightly more expensive, about RMB 80 a box. Before or student party is very poor when in the Wenli neighborhood found a particularly cost-effective store, the taste is also very good, but unfortunately now there is no more.
_
When it comes to the yellow pear tart, we have to mention _, it is in fact the general name of the Malaysian Nyonya confectionery, the English is Kueh, this side of the people pronounced "ghost". Yellow pear tart is actually a kind of _.
There are many types of _, I have not tasted them all. I'm just not very lucky, and the ones I did try didn't really surprise me with their flavor. But why put it in this recommendation?
Because it's pretty!
There's a sense of Japanese wakame!
After all, after traveling and distributing souvenirs, the most important thing is to use the value of the heart. These small things in the shape of a pleasant to buy back in the office to distribute it is also very popular, not it, and a strong Southern style is also very innovative! The flavor is also ordinary glutinous rice flavor, not very good but also will not step on the mine.
General supermarkets will be sold. If you want to have a nicer packaging, you can go to BengawanSolo's store to pick it up.
Laksa Instant Noodles
This instant noodle is very popular, it was once in the top 10 best instant noodles in the world, and was once sold out on Taobao.
With a clear conscience, I'd say this list is still very sincere. Because the only laksa I can eat is this instant noodle. Other laksa I have to say, the flavor is still too challenging, do not believe that you come to the small slope to order a bowl of laksa to try to know
Please recognize the brand of Yummy Kitchen yo. It is available in all major supermarkets across the island. 4 packs of it cost RMB 50 yuan. The packaging is a bit shabby and can't be given away, but you can share it with your real hobbyist girlfriends who don't mind you, and it's really a good thing for friendship!
Note that this instant noodles need to be boiled, and usually directly with boiling water is not the same kind of ha.
Various seasoning sauce packets
When I traveled by myself, my favorite souvenir, besides postcards, was to go to the local supermarket to buy seasoning packets that could cook local specialties. It's not too expensive, it's got local flavor, and it's easy to carry and doesn't take up too much space in your luggage. Of course, the main reason is that I am a snacker who is passionate about improving my cooking skills.
So what are the flavor packets that are distinctive and not easy to fail in Xiaopo? According to my years of practice, meat bone tea, Hainan chicken rice these two are the lowest coefficient of difficulty. Of course you have confidence in your own cooking skills can also buy other back to try together. At home cooking a pot of southern flavors, so the sincerity of the accompanying gift is absolutely enough!
Sauce packets are available at all major supermarkets across the island, and apart from Yummy Kitchen, there are other brands to choose from.
Curry Coconut Sauce
Curry Coconut Sauce is a very special dessert ingredient in Sint Maa. It is made from coconut milk, eggs, sugar and butter, and can be eaten as a piece of butter spread on bread.
If you're in Singapore and you've had Yakun's Coconut Toast and you think it's great, then consider bringing a bottle of Coconut Sauce back with you to continue enjoying it. I couldn't stop eating it once, and if it wasn't for the calorie count, I'd have a piece of coconut toast for breakfast every day.
The most recommended is Yakun's, a bottle of which costs 30 yuan.
TWG Tea
We all know that Singapore itself does not produce tea, so why recommend this tea?
Yeah, it's still because of the looks.
It's all about style, isn't it! Compared to the previous beautiful but somewhat ribbed ___, TWG's things are not enough to Singapore's characteristics, but definitely take the hand, after all, people's positioning is also luxuryteabrand, in Singapore's major Mall also has a very high-end atmosphere of the afternoon tea store, you can taste the tea and snacks on site, it is a photo invoice a circle of a good place to go.
Being far away from the fact that TWG is a native Singaporean brand. And they have a wide variety of teas, from Chinese Pu'er to a variety of Western flavored teas. If you are worried that the quality of the tea is not as good as the major origins, you can just buy a set of tea sets around the back to give someone a gift~
Singapore Sling
Just like the mention of Irish wine, everyone will think of Irish coffee, when it comes to Singapore's wine, no one will be unaware of Singapore Sling.
This gin-based cocktail is the only one of the world's top 10 cocktails to have been created by an Asian. Originating from the LongBar at the Raffles Hotel, it is known as Singapore's national drink. The original recipe has been lost, and the Singapore Sling that you now drink at LongBar is restored from memory by the old bartender.
If you don't have the chance to go to Raffles Hotel to taste it yourself, you can go to the supermarket and buy the bottled version to experience it. The packaging is also not bad, so you can give it to your friends who love to drink and taste.
Buy it at the following places, it is available at ColdStorage islandwide, and at all three outlets of Giant.
The 375ml contract is RMB 250.
Note, Singapore after 10:30 pm to 7:00 am the next day can not be publicly sold alcohol, so buy alcohol to avoid this time yo.
White Coffee
I'm not a big coffee drinker myself, so I can't really comment on the taste of white coffee. I always ask my friends where to buy white coffee, and according to their feedback, it's not a bad choice for a gift.
While it is true that white coffee is a Malay specialty, it is also true that there are not many purely Singaporean specialties in the many specialties that I recommend
The most common brand of white coffee is OldTown.
The most common brand of white coffee is OldTown.
It is sold in all major supermarkets in Singapore, and the contract for a large bag is about 30 yuan.
Non-food items
Medicinal oils and ointments
This should be a must-have gift for anyone who wants to take a gift with them, although it's nothing new, so you can take it back with you. The effect, according to the grandparents response, or good.
Tiger's reputation is relatively loud, buy back will not go wrong. White is the classic model, and now there is also a red model.
The shoes are available at Watsons and Guardian island-wide.
Shoes and bags
Highly recommend Little CK! Especially for students! Every time I go out shopping my cousin will ask me if I've got any new arrivals.
If you do not know small CK, you can Baidu, is a
Singapore
local design brand, positioning and Zara similar, focusing on shoes, bags and some small accessories, cost-effective super high. Although it has entered the Chinese market, but I have to say that the average price of Singapore is much lower than the domestic, how low it is, if you go to the IMM discount store, RMB 100-200 can buy a pair of shoes, and the same in the country is generally 300-400 yuan, simply suitable for students to party chopping cabbage price there is no! And the style will also be faster than the domestic update. Once my cousin bought a bag at the IMM discount store in Little CK, and it took a few months after she returned to China before she found this one at the regular price store.
Of course apart from Little CK, there are some other local brands in Singapore such as Pazzion, Pedro. the price is incremental and so is the quality. However, although these brands are not stationed in the domestic market, but there are many similar style brands in the country, so I do not recommend it.
Not really a specialty but super cost-effective classAvène big spray
Two bottles of 300ml only RMB 150 yuan, often use this girl should know how much the domestic 1 bottle price it. Although I have Caudalia big spray this new favorite, but I have to say that Avène big spray is really sensitive skin mother.
It's the same price at Watsons and Guardian islandwide.
And Kobo Watsons/Guardian loves to have a buy 2 get 1 free every now and then, which is a great time to stock up on masks. For students who don't have a lot of money to spare, if you happen to run into a sale, you can consider stocking up on some of Morita Yakusho's moisturizing masks, which are about RMB 50 for a 10-piece contract.
SK-II Shen Xian Shui
Push through the ones for students, and then push one for office workers.
SK-II Shinzen Shui costs $1,370 for 1 bottle on Tmall, and you can get your hands on 2 bottles for about $1,830 in Singapore. Isn't that a good deal? There's also a super pretty limited edition Sakura version available now.
But at such a good price, it's only available at Changi Airport Duty Free.
And it's not just about the water, there are a lot of great skincare products available at Changi Airport at special discounted prices when you buy two bottles. For example, I went back to my mom and brought a Clarins gold double bottle, 2 50ml only RMB 1100 or so, Tmall 1 bottle of 50ml is almost 1000.
In short, Changi Airport Duty Free is a good place to save money, suggest that before taking off in ishopchangi official website to check the price of doing homework, may be able to save out of a trip to the airfare money it.
