Anyone got a good list of food recommendations for Singapore? 🇸🇬 Heading there this weekend for the next week and will be staying Central/Chinatown.

Some suggested dishes you can try at most hawker centres (the larger ones are Chinatown, Amoy Street, Maxwell, Old Airport Road, all accessible by the metro/MRT): Hainanese chicken rice (steamed chicken over chicken flavoured rice—strong umami flavours, a classic, universally-lovable dish; Tian Tian Chicken Rice at Maxwell hawker centre is the famous one, often having long queues) Fried Hokkien mee (seafood-flavoured noodles cooked with prawns, squids, pork lard—my personal favourite Singaporean dish due to the rich, seafood flavours) Char kway teow (flat rice noodles deep-fried with cockles, Chinese sausage, and egg—a very decadent dish) Laksa (noodles in a coconut curry soup) Satay (spiced/marinated meat skewers often served with peanut sauce—common meats are chicken or mutton; people usually eat them with cucumbers, onions and rice cakes called "ketupats") (Continued below)

Roti prata (flatbread dish originating from Indian immigrants to Southeast Asia; usually eaten with various types of curries—oily, but very tasty!) Bak kut teh (pork ribs in a clear, peppery soup) Sambal stingray (grilled/barbecued stingray with sambal paste, a type of chili paste made from shrimp paste and other ingredients—not available everywhere, but if you seen it, you should try it as I think it is one of our more unique dishes that you can probably only find in Singapore and Malaysia)

For hawker centres, I think you can start with Lau Pa Sat first, which is geared towards tourists. But once you are settled or if you're comfortable navigating through a diverse food landscape, suggest you head straight to a more "local" hawker centre like Amoy Street or Chinatown. I think you can find a better range of local cuisine there, with more local people. (Amoy Street can get really crowded for weekday lunches as it serves the office crowd, but many shops also close after lunchtime.)
