Local Singapore Food to Try

Singapore’s cuisine is as ethnically diverse as its people – which is why food tripping in the city-state is a gastronomically wonderful adventure. From food carts to swanky restaurants, the following on the list are some of the top must-haves when in the Lion City.

1. Chili Crab - Dating back to 1956, this Singaporean favorite is a must-order when in the Lion City! Contrary to its name though, Chili Crab isn’t as spicy as one may think, and is more sweet and savory with fluffy crab meat.

Where to Get: No Signboard Seafood #01-14/16 The Esplanade, 8 Raffles Ave

2. Curry Puffs - This humble flaky pastry is so in demand that the couple behind J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff find it hard to keep up with its demand on a daily basis.
