Singapore is a country that is popular for shopping, exploring and food so given below are some of the street food dishes that you will come across and should definitely try when in Singapore.
Starting with the unofficial National Dish of Singapore the Hainanese Chicken Rice is the most popular food in Singapore. While you will come across this dish at many restaurants and high-end hotels you will also find this dish at street-side shops. The taste of the dish is not compromised no matter where you try it and this is also a great takeaway option for those who are staying at any apartments or suites in Singapore.
While this might sound like a common dish that might not seem like a special Singaporean dish it is only when you try it that you will understand the different flavours that come together. The Stir-fried noodles dish can be made to your preferences and you can even select the sauces you like but the flat rice noodles, the eggs, bean sprouts and the Chinese sausages are a must.
The description of this dish is Dumplings and Noodles which is a much-loved combination in most East-Asian countries. While the dish might seem simple there are so many different variations you can select from especially when you are buying it from a street vendor. The dumplings come in fish, chicken, vegetable, prawn and other fillings which can be combined with your favourite type of noodle.
If there is one breakfast that is to be named the most popular across Singapore it would definitely be the Kaya Toast. This toast is made for savoury and sweet tooths so you can pick and choose as you wish. The bread is covered with egg and coconut kaya which is a special spread like peanut butter and then grilled till you get a lovely brown colour. If you wish to, you can request an egg dip so you can dip the toast in before biting into it, which makes the breakfast filling and even more yummy.
If you have been to other Asian countries you would have definitely tried out Laksa but the version you will find in the streets of Singapore is different from other places. This nutritious and filling dish is made with flat noodles, fish cakes, other seafood ingredients such as prawns are combined with coconut milk and oil to bring together a flavoursome soup. Since there are many variations of Laksa, you might come across a different version on the street markets of Singapore and a different version at hotel restaurants such as those offered by properties like PARKROYAL On Kitchener Road Singapore.
Are you a fan of barbecue skewers? Then you are bound to love Satay in Singapore. The variety of the protein that goes on the Satay is so vast that you can now customise it as you wish to. If you like Chicken, Prawn, Fish, Octopus, Eel and several vegetables you can request accordingly or you can pick the already-made satays. The best part of the Satays found in Singapore is the spicy peanut sauce that comes with it. If you wish to you can even request it as a dip in order to enjoy it further.
