Singapore is well known for its culture diversity and range of ethnic, authentic, local and International cuisines. Also the street food of Singapore is a must try. You will be amazed to find such massive variety in food in such small country. Since i was invited by Your Singapore Arabia i had the most of it.
Here is a quick guide of some must try Singapore delights for the visitors.
- Kaya Toast with kopi at Yakun Kaya Toast– Locals love kaya toast, it’s more like a tradition. Kaya jam made with coconut, egg and sugar, spread over toasted bread along with butter, served with soft boiled eggs and cup of coffee (kopi), tea or Milo. Just add some soy sauce, black pepper in eggs dip the bread and enjoy. The sweet and salty flavors burst in every bite. You can find it in many café, food centers.
- Chili Crab and fried buns at Jumbo – One of the most popular delicacies in Singapore. Whole big crab cooked in sweet and spicy tomato & chili sauce enhancing the taste of crab, enjoy it with rice or with fresh hot buns (Man – tou) and enjoy it. Just soak the bun in the mouthwatering gravy and enjoy every bite of it. I tried in Jumbo Seafood, where you can chose the meal for 2, 4, 6 and more. click here for more information.
- Coconut Ice cream in coconut shell – Since Singapore weather is mostly humid and rainy you need a fresh bowl of ice cream and you will mostly be able to enjoy it sea side. Fresh coconut ice cream served in the freshly broken coconut, choose any of your favorite toppings like pistachio, chocolate. It tastes best with chestnut. The jelly chestnut compliments the taste of coconut ice cream. Enjoy it while a long walk.
