HELLO! SINGAPORE TOURS GUIDE TO THE BEST SINGAPORE LOCAL FOOD

What started as a dish purportedly sold from a pushcart in the 1950s has now become a star in the global food scene. One of the earliest versions of chilli crab— mud crabs stir-fried with tomato and chilli sauce—is still on the menu of Roland Restaurant in Marine Parade Central. A more modern and widely common recipe these days includes sambal (chilli paste), eggs and tomato paste for a rich, umami taste that’s finger-licking good. Most restaurants offer Sri Lankan crabs and there is also a more deluxe option of Alaskan king crabs. Diners can order mantous (fried or steamed buns), to dip into the gravy. From S$30 per crab (depending on weight).

Visiting foodies can expect a mix of flavours and textures from nasi lemak, a popular breakfast meal with the locals. It comprises rice cooked in coconut milk—some cook the rice with pandan leaves to give it extra fragrance and a green colour—with side servings of deep-fried fish or chicken wings, otah (spicy fish paste grilled in banana leaf), fried ikan bilis (anchovies) with peanuts, eggs, cucumber slices and sambal (chilli paste). The sambal is a key ingredient; it should be robust and spiked with the flavour of shallots and ground dried shrimp. From S$3 per serving.

The key to this unique Asian salad lies in its dark, sticky sauce—made up of fermented prawn paste, sugar, lime and chilli paste—which explains its sweet yet savoury taste. With a name that means ‘eclectic mix’ in colloquial Malay, rojak is made up of a variety of ingredients and textures. It has fresh cucumber, pineapple, tofu puff and you tiao (dough fritters) tossed in prawn paste and tamarind sauce, and garnished with chopped peanuts.

This dish is typically sold by Chinese hawkers at food centres. Some hotels also offer this at buffets where visitors can have a hand at creating their own version of rojak by mixing the sauce in a large bowl, before tossing in all the other ingredients. From S$3 per serving.

What was once a wet market in the 1950s has become the popular Maxwell Food Centre today. One of its biggest draws is Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (#01-10/11)—whose world-famous chicken rice beat chef Gordon Ramsay’s version in the Hawker Heroes Challenge. Also popular is the crispy, deep-fried oyster cake snack at Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake (#01-05) that has become a rare speciality. Another highlight is Zhen Zhen Porridge (#01-54) for its comforting bowls of thick porridge cooked with chicken or fish. The stall closes after selling out so be sure to get there early before it’s all wiped out.
