Singaporean cuisine greatly reflects its ethnic diversity and international outlook, with its local specialties bringing together the influences from different cooking traditions. From Indian and Malay to Chinese and European cuisine, visitors will always find a perfect match. Singapore not only offers an impressive diversity of cuisine but also its own original creations and specialties. The Chilli Crab for example, was invented in 1950 by a local chef and is a seafood delicacy dear to many Singaporeans’ hearts.
Singapore, whilst already having so much to offer to eager foodies, remains most receptive and keen to offer its platform and introduce to its audience more culinary delights – it has hosted many successful international gourmet events and food fairs.

2. SLOW-BRAISED WAGYU OXTAIL RENDANG “The spices blended with tenderly braised marbled Wagyu oxtail create a sophisticated, unique, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Best paired with a glass of red from Rhone Valley which is spice-driven with fruitiness.”

1. GRILLED SATAY“The grilled meats are done to stunning perfection, just slightly charred on the outside but retaining the juicy succulence of good quality meat. The accompanying satay gravy is a harmonious blend of subtle spices with a peanut base, whipped together to provide the perfect match with the meat skewers."

5. CHILLI CRAB“Chilli crab, Singapore’s very own creation, is served on a hot-bed of thick gravy which is spicy, savoury, sweet and sour, all at the same time! Although man tous are popular, I simply deshell the crab and pour the gravy over my bowl of rice."
3. CHICKEN RICE“The chicken has a firm silky texture, and the sauce was nice and garlicky. The dish is simple but has a great flavor. This is my son's favourite chicken rice."

4. SOUTH INDIAN BREAKFAST“A sumptuous variety of delicacies including appam, thosai, string hoppers, vadai and other South Indian offerings. Simply the best!"

6. EDOMAE SUSHI & OMAKASE“I highly recommend this Two Michelin Star fine dining Edomae sushi Japanese restaurant, which has both excellent ambience and great food. Aside from the delicate sushi prepared by their Japanese chefs, their Omakase sets (where each individual course perfectly complements the next) is an enjoyable culinary experience in itself.”

10. PERANAKAN CUISINE“Violet Oon’s unique take on Peranakan cuisine sets this stylish intimate restaurant apart from other Straits Chinese restaurants. Those who think they can take very spicy food should try the Udang Goreng Chilli and round off the spicy odyssey with a sweet ending of Kueh Beng Kah and Kesturi Sour.”

Simon GOHHead, Insurance & Reinsurance,Rajah & Tann Singapore
9. MEE GORENG“Comfort food as part of an every day meal even, Mee Goreng so unique in taste that it leaves you craving for more. Tender chunks of beef, mutton or chicken complements the noodles perfectly. The restaurant has been at its same location for over 30 years whilst other establishments come and go."

8. FRIED OYSTER OMELETTE “Every mouthful is filled with the flavour of oyster, balanced with a tinge of crispy fried omelette and starch. If you like it spicy, add a dash of chilli sauce for that extra kick!”

11. FRIED CARROT CAKE“This carrot cake is crispy on the outside but soft and wobbly on the inside, with each mouthful revealing a somewhat charred chunk of rice cake and radish which melts in your mouth. The “black” version is finely balanced with the dark sweet sauce that is delightful to the palette. Some like it white, some like it black. Others (like myself) cannot quite decide and end up ordering one of each!"
