We have eaten lots of weird and wonderful things in Singapore! We have mainly eaten in hawker centres, at market stalls or in small cafes and have found it really cheap!! We haven’t taken pictures of everything as eating street food and trying to take a picture is not an easy task. Anyway, here are some photos and we’ve marked a couple of hawker centres/food courts on the map. Enjoy 😀
These were from a bakery in Chinatown. A roast pork crisp and a red bean paste bun. We loved both!
We have eaten quite a lot of these buns (bao) and you will always find them on a dim sum stall. One of these is a char sui bun and the other is a vegetable one. We love them.
We have also eaten quite a lot of things on sticks. This was fried chicken wrapped in seaweed.
This was a chicken kebab/sausage (we think!) and please also note that they are often served in small food bags with the sauce poured into it.
Seaweed shaker fries. Very moreish!!!
Fresh lychee juice. Just what we needed!!
French toast and soft boiled egg for breakfast. This is the traditional way of serving the egg at breakfast. I struggled with mine but Paul mixed soy sauce in with his and really enjoyed it. The french toast is like eggy bread with some syrup and the green stuff in the corner is kaya which is like a coconut jam. Very popular on toast!
Sugar cane juice is very popular and not as sweet as you’d think. Perfectly refreshing!
Char Kway Teow is a national favourite and is basically stir fried rice noodles with veg and can have various fillings. There were cockles in ours (which is the norm) but not sure what else. It is cooked in pork fat so we shared it!
Ice Kachang is another national favourite. It is shaved ice covered in different syrups with toppings at the bottom. The toppings included sweetcorn, red beans, lychees, grass jelly to name but a few. It was huge to us and would have to be shared.
A slice of carrot cake which reminded us of Pearl City in Manchester where they call it turnip cake. It tasted exactly the same and we’re pretty sure the main ingredient is white radish. Amazing!
Another variation of fried carrot cake and another national favourite. You can get it white or black and we opted for black which means it has been fried with molasses. It’s white radish steamed then fried with garlic, spring onions and preserved radish.
Another favourite dish – chicken served with rice that has been cooked in chicken stock. The chicken is first poached then dipped in ice to produce an interesting texture!
This was from a Korean stall and was pork dipped in chilli sauce on a stick.
Another skewer from the Korean stall but this time shitake mushrooms. Both were delicious!!
A traditional style of pancake (quite crispy) in Singapore commonly served with a peanut filling. Paul had that but I opted for chocolate!!!
