Singaporean food is a diverse blend of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Western influences, heavily characterized by it’s popular hawker culture. Unfortunately, our time here was so limited that we tried very few traditional foods. So this page is going to be a short read! I threw in a few photos about food venues and foods I wanted to eat but didn’t get a chance… mostly just to fill up a little space! :)

Chili Crab Toast - We wanted to try the traditional dish of Chili Crab, but we ran out of time, so Grady settled for this during our final breakfast as an alternative. It is an adaptation of the country's iconic chili crab dish, featuring sweet, spicy, and savory crab sauce served on toast rather than with traditional mud crab and steamed buns. Grady didn't seem too excited about it.

Fried carrot cake or chai tow kway - this is a strange one. It is NOT carrot cake, nor is it made of carrots! It is made of radish, garlic, and eggs. There is a white version, which is seasoned with light soya sauce, and the black version, where dark

Fried carrot cake or chai tow kway - this is a strange one. It is NOT carrot cake, nor is it made of carrots! It is made of radish, garlic, and eggs. There is a white version, which is seasoned with light soya sauce, and the black version, where dark soya sauce is added instead. I really wanted to try this, but the stand was closed when we got there.

Hawker Centers - an open-air or semi-covered, food complex containing numerous independent stalls that sell affordable local dishes and drinks. At some point, Singapore stopped allowing street vendors and created these Hawker Centers which are regulated and cleaner. The food is cheap, which is nice since restaurants are expensive! There are Hawker Centers everywhere. They are pretty cool!

Kaya toast - an iconic Singaporean breakfast of toast layered with coconut jam (kaya) and thick slices of cold butter. Primarily served with soft-boiled eggs and hot coffee (kopi). I thought it tasted like toast with butter and brown sugar. It was t

Kaya toast - an iconic Singaporean breakfast of toast layered with coconut jam (kaya) and thick slices of cold butter. Primarily served with soft-boiled eggs and hot coffee (kopi). I thought it tasted like toast with butter and brown sugar. It was tasty! I would have preferred the eggs to be cooked a bit more.

Red grouper sliced fish laksa - a premium, comforting hawker dish combining fresh red grouper fish slices with spicy coconut-based broth. It was good.

Satay Street - this was pretty cool. The street along the side of one of the Hawker Centers becomes a pedestrian zone every evening and the street is filled with tables and about 15-20 vendors selling nothing but satay line the road.

Satay - a beloved hawker dish of marinated, skewered meat grilled over a charcoal fire and served with a thick, savory-sweet peanut sauce. You order it by the "set". Our "set" consisted of 10 chicken, 10 beef, and 6 BBQ prawn skewers. It was SO deli
