While Singapore is famed for iconic sites and luxury hotels, its unique charm lies in its many flavours. Found in platters of delectable meals, the country has mastered the techniques of Western cuisine, offering a host of comfort food in a foreign land. Here are some handpicked dishes in Singapore fit for a vacation to remember.

Burgers

Some days, a juicy burger may be the quick fix that is needed for a simple meal in a traveller's itinerary. Fortunately, this is one of the most easily accessible Western delights in Singapore, available in both fast food and star-rated restaurants. From dine-in options to delivery and pick-up, there can be no substitute for a burger, when all you need is a meal on the go.

Pizza

When your heart desires a good old European breakfast, Grand Park City Hall calls all pizza lovers for a banquet, at one of the most popular City Hall restaurants in Singapore. This Italian delicacy never disappoints the wandering traveller, seeking comfort in a slice of good old cheese and tomato, sprinkled with herbs that delight one's tastebuds. If an authentic dining experience is the next checkbox in your food diary, you are in the right place, as Singapore's streets are lined up with Italian restaurants offering the real deal.

Spaghetti and meatballs

A meal that is both fulfilling and heartwarming, Singapore's many spaghetti and meatball options are to die for. Yet another Italian favourite, this meal is the perfect combination of simple spaghetti noodles and juicy meatballs, drenched in flavourful marinara sauce. While the dish's story dates back to the 19th century, its appeal to the common man stands the test of time, evolving from generation to generation, and reaching the far corners of the planet.

Fish and chips 

For any traveller, there can be no better pairing than fish and chips with a side of tartar sauce and lime. While experimenting with the many varieties of culinary delicacies in Singapore is an experience worth revelling in, one cannot resist the perfect blend of simplicity and familiarity of this beloved dish. This classic British delight is often served with crispy white fish, batter-fried to perfection, and potato fries that complement each other's flavours.

Buttermilk pancakes  

An instant favourite for a first-timer, these soft and fluffy buttermilk pancakes are stacked on top of each other and often served with maple syrup and fruit toppings. Although an ideal breakfast meal, these pancakes can even be a dessert following a main meal to please your sweet tooth.

Steak

A treat for one's tastebuds. Steak is a most coveted dish rooting from the lands of Scandinavia and Italy, although it is most renowned as an American favourite. The oozing flavour of a freshly pan-seared steak, prepared by culinary masters at some of Singapore's renowned restaurants, will evoke a sense of home for the distant traveller. Be it grilled or broiled, this tender and luxurious meal is a crowd-pleaser that has travelled a long way from its birthplace, reaching the far corners of East Asia—to the delight of Singapore and its travellers.
