Food Glorious Food


Eating your way through Singapore













The prevalence of food centres and food courts can’t go unnoticed in Singapore.  I wish I had an extra stomach or two to try out even more local delicacies!  Locals start each morning with a kaya toast and coffee set which also comes with two soft boiled eggs.  Food stalls seem to open in the wee hours in the morning and stay open until late at night, many are also opened for 24 hours.  The laksa is a must try with its milky rich spicy soup that is packed with the bursting flavor of shrimp stock.  For a sugary mix, the rainbow coloured assortment of chewy kueh made from glutinous rice is quite satisfying.  I especially like the kuih serimuka, which has a pandan juice custard layer and a layer with steamed glutinous rice.   The satay skewers are amazing especially with peanut sauce and is always a great combination with shaved ice drowned in syrup.  For something a little less spicy but equally rich in flavor, try the bak kut teh, which literally translates into meat bone tea and has pork ribs cooked in a herbal soup that makes it a heart-warming dish to have on a humid day.
