About Singapore

The island of Singapore was originally inhabited by pirates and fishermen. The Japanese Empire invaded and occupied Singapore during the Second World War from 1942 to 1945. Once the Japanese forces surrendered, British control was established yet again, which led to the merger between Singapore and the Federation of Malaya, thereby causing Malaysia to form in 1963.

Singapore, however, was expelled from Malaysia due to the racial tensions, social unrest, and political problems that took place between Malaysia’s Alliance Party and the People’s Action Party (PAP) of Singapore. Hence, it led to the creation of Singapore as an independent republic in August of 1965.

Foods To Try Out In Singapore

Singapore is known to be a paradise for food lovers. Therefore, when you embark on your holiday with our Singapore tour packages, get ready to enjoy a gastronomic experience. Whether you dine at a Michelin-star restaurant or a street-side stall, chances are your tastebuds will be extremely pleased with the choices.

The food found in Singapore is as diverse as its population, containing Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, and Western influences. There is a lot of Indian cuisine and influences from Indian cuisine that is present in Singaporean dishes, with Tamil cuisine being quite prevalent in the country. While you’re in the country, don’t forget to visit the hawker centers that will automatically lure you in with the splendid aroma. Let us provide you with some suggestions of the foods you must try out in Singapore:

Hainanese Chicken Rice

The Hainanese Chicken Rice is unofficially the national dish of Singapore. Easily found everywhere, right from restaurants to hawker centers, the dish was adapted from the early Chinese immigrants who inhabited Hainan Island. It’s a dish that is said to be eaten “everywhere, every day” in Singapore.

The dish consists of slices of steamed chicken served with aromatic rice which is cooked in chicken stock and is served along with chili sauce and sliced cucumber. The spices and sauces added to the dish enhance its unique taste.

Char Kway Teow

Char Kway Teow literally translates into ‘stir-fried rice noodles’ and is among those staple items at the hawker centers of Singapore that get sold out in seconds. For this dish, flat rice noodles are stir-fried over high heat with a mix of bean sprouts, blood cockles, sweet dark soy sauce, shives, and Chinese sausage slices.

Lard or pork fat usually forms the heart of Char Kway Teow, but it is often replaced with oil as a healthier alternative, with more vegetables taking the place of proteins. You can usually find it being served on a banana leaf to enhance its appearance.

Laksa

Although Laksa comes from Malaysia, it is very commonly seen in other Southeast Asian counties as well, such as Singapore and Indonesia. Consisting of flat noodles, cockles, prawns, fish cakes, and coconut soup, Laksa is often eaten along with Otah, which is a fish cake wrapped in leaf parcels.

The spicy noodle soup has a bold red hue and is filled with aromatic herbs. This traditional Peranakan dish is a combination of Chinese and Malay cuisine and is of two types, namely Curry Laksa and Asam Laksa. While Asam Laksa is more common in Malaysia, Curry Laksa is the more popular variant in Singapore.

Fish Head Curry

If you belong to the southern region of India, you have probably had fish head curry several times, and you get to taste the Singaporean version of this dish on your holiday.

As the name states, the dish consists of the head of a fish, which is firstly marinated and cooked in curry sauce and then mixed with various vegetables such as okras and eggplants. It is usually served with bread or rice, along with a glass of local lime juice or calamansi. The dish is extremely flavorful owing to the many spices that go into it, and it possesses a tangy flavor.

Chili Crab

Ranked by CNN on the 35th position in the list of the best 50 foods of the world, Singapore’s chili crab is a semi-fried dish made with hard-shell crabs that are cooked in a semi-thick gravy created using a base of tomatoes and chilis.

Once the steamed crabs are partially cracked, they are then stir-fried lightly in a paste which consists of eggs, ketchup, and chili sauce. The dish is usually served with mini mantou buns, and despite having the word ‘chili’ in its name, the dish isn’t too spicy and instead has a tangy, rich, and sweet taste, which is delightfully addictive.

Kaya Toast

In case you find yourself in Singapore for a couple of days, there are high chances that Kaya Toast will make an appearance on your breakfast table perhaps more than once. Kaya is coconut jam made with sugar, eggs, and coconut milk. Kaya Toast is basically two slices of toast served with kaya and butter and is usually served alongside soft-boiled eggs and coffee.

Best Singapore Package for Family

This beloved Singaporean breakfast food is often served as different variations of itself, such as with brown bread or round buns. Kaya Toast has brown and green variations. The brown one is created using caramelized brown sugar, and the green one is made up of pandan leaves.

Nasi Biryani

Biryani is a dish that is commonly found in various parts of South Asian countries. India, for instance, has a wide variety of biryani available throughout its many states.

The Nasi Biryani found in Singapore will be right up your alley if you’re a biryani lover. It is said that biryani may have originated from the southern part of India, and this dish is made up of basmati rice that is cooked using yogurt, garlic, onions, exotic Indian spices, and aromatic herbs. Toppings of cashews and fried onions can often be found in biryani.

Satay

Although the inception of satay can be traced back to Indonesia, it is a popular presence in the hawker centers and restaurants of Singapore. This local delicacy is candied and skewered and is available in the meat of your choice, be it chicken, beef, pork, or mutton. After being marinated with turmeric, the meat is then barbecued and served along with rice dumplings, onions, and peanut sauce. Street food carts often have these in plenty, but make sure to grab yours quickly, as they do sell out fast.

Oyster Omelette

Oyster omelette or orh luak has a Min Nan origin, where an egg omelet is mixed with flour and then fried with small oysters. It is garnished with crispy bean sprouts, coriander leaves, and a sauce that is both sweet and spicy. The omelet can either be made crispy or soft, as per your preference. Owing to the high-calorie count, this dish is consumed occasionally but is a must-have when you’re visiting Singapore.

Roti Prata

Roti prata, which is a South Indian flatbread, also goes by the name of the ‘Asian croissant’ and is found in many countries in Southeast Asia. It’s made after stretching the wheat flour into a thin, layered, and large flatbread, after which it’s cooked on the pan for about three to five minutes. This crispy, crunchy, and soft concoction can be eaten with a vegetable curry or a meat-based curry, such as chicken, beef, or fish.

Nasi Lemak
