Rosti @ Marche $7.00

(1 vote)

per rosti

313 Orchard Road, Level 1, Discovery Walk, Singapore 238895

I absolutely love rosti, and this is by far my favorite place to get it in Singapore. The queue attests to the quality of this dish - it is typically a dozen or so people long at any time of the day. Love the crisp texture of the fried outsides, plus an extra large servin...

Cajun Fries @ Golden Village Gold C... $8.00

(1 vote)

per order

Golden Village, Katong I12, SIngapore

While not technically a restaurant, the Gold Class theatre of Golden Village (Katong I12, not sure about the others) has arguably my favorite fries in Singapore. They aren't truffled nor shoestring, but they are done perfectly every time with a ridiculously crispy shell a...

Fried Awesomeness @ KFC $10.00

(1 vote)

for a full meal

Not sure why I fell in love with KFC so much after coming back to Singapore compared to the US, but I always look forward to a meal there. My standard order consists of a 2 pc meal (Hot & Crispy, Drumstick + Thigh), upgrading the coleslaw to Cheese Fries, and adding on a ...

Bak Kut Teh @ Ya Hua (亞華肉骨茶) $10.00

(1 vote)

avg. per pax

#01-05/07 Tanjong Pagar Complex, 7A Keppel Road, Singapore 089053

Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup) is one of the signature Singaporean dishes that tourists need to try, and locals love having (especially after a heavy night of drinking!). Ya Hua is one of the most famous joints in Singapore and my personal favorite - it helps that it is walk...

Japanese Ramen @ Keisuke Tori King $15.00

(2 votes)

avg. per pax

100 Tras Street #03-15, 100AM, Tanjong Pagar, Singapore 079027

My favorite shop for Japanese Ramen. The menu is super simple - a chicken thigh in soup with noodles. You pick the noodle hardness, soup flavor and strength, and any add-ons like seaweed. Free flow hard boiled eggs and some quirky stuff like grind-your-own sesame seeds ma...

Truffle Fries @ PS Cafe $15.00

(1 vote)

per plate of fries

Paragon, 290 Orchard Road

Ahh, Truffle Fries. Can't get enough of them, and this dish is literally the reason I made this website. PS Cafe is probably the de-facto answer to the 'where should I get truffle fries' question, and it never disappoints. The serving is pretty huge (though I can finish i...

Burger & Fries @ Omakase Burger $20.00

(1 vote)

avg. per pax

#01-02 Wisma Atria, 435 Orchard Road, Singapore 238877

Omakase Burger has been creating a huge buzz since it opened in Singapore, apparently being modeled after the famous Shake Shack in New York. The burgers, while very tasty indeed, are a tad bit on the small side compared to other gourmet burgers. The fries, however, are s...

Chicken Pot & La Zi Ji @ Fat Bird (... $35.00

(2 votes)

avg. per pax

1 Liang Seah Street, #01-15/16, Singapore

Fat Bird is my go-to place when I'm craving something spicy. The Chongqing-style chicken pot isn't your traditional hot-pot where you cook raw meat in a soup, but rather more of a stew where the meat is already cooked and it simmers in a boiling sauce that brings out the ...

Hua Yew Wee (华友园海鲜) $40.00

(1 vote)

avg. per pax

462 Upper East Coast Road

The Lim Family favorite and a place we've been frequenting from literally before I was born (the waitresses knew me when I was still in my mother's tummy), I probably eat here on average once every week or two. They have a traditional Singaporean seafood menu, but my favo...

Spicy Crayfish @ Xie Lao Song (蟹�... $40.00

(1 vote)

avg. per pax

16 Smith Street, Singapore 058930

Call me old fashioned, but I'm quite averse to having Chinese food in the stereotypical 'Chinatown' spots surrounded by tourists. However, despite being located on Smith Street, Xie Lao Song is ridiculously authentic - most of the clientele and staff are very Chinese (and...

Shabu Shabu @ Akashabu $50.00

avg. per pax

5 Stadium Walk, Singapore 397693

My Dad's favorite shabu shabu joint, there was a time he would ask us to go literally 3-4 times a week. The US beef here is excellent, though at $20 a plate (100 grams?) it probably isn't the best choice if you are super hungry. They also serve pretty good sushi/sashimi, ...

Crab Bee Hoon @ Mellben Seafood $50.00

avg. per pax

12 Prince Edward Road, Bestway Building, Singapore

Ask any local about Mellben Seafood and they'll be sure to mention the famous 'Ang Mo Kio Crab Beehoon'. I love bringing visitors here since the dish is less famous than the touristy staples like chili crab and chicken rice, but once they try it they always love it. My fa...

Yakitori @ Shin Kushiya $50.00

avg. per pax

#02-120 Vivo City, 1 Harbourfront Walk

Came here due to Reg's high opinion of it plus a Groupon deal and was not disappointed. The other stuff like sushi was decent, but the main attraction is definitely the yakitori. All of the skewers tasted as good as they looked, especially the beef ones. The lamb rack was...

Hot Pot @ HaiDiLao (海底捞火锅) $50.00

avg. per pax

#02-04 Clark Quay, 3D River Valley Road

HaiDiLao is one of the most famous restaurants in China, known for their great hot pot and amazing service. They have been a huge hit in Singapore since opening, with reservations near impossible to make and wait times averaging 1.5 - 2 hours; this is made a bit more bear...

US Ribeye Steak @ New Ubin Seafood $60.00

for 500g set

63 Hillview Avenue, Level 6 (Canteen), Singapore 669569

While this place has the look and feel of a coffee shop, it has one of the best value-for-money steaks in Singapore. The quality and taste of the US Ribeye here is fantastic, and you'll see every table ordering at least one or two of these babies. The pricing is $12 per 1...

Sharks Fin @ Thai Village $60.00

per bowl

2 Stadium Walk #01-02/03 Singapore Indoor Stadium (Carpark L), Singapore 397691

A favorite of my grandmother, the sharks fin at Thai Village is my favorite type - thick and flavorful with some crab meat thrown in there. I far prefer it to the clear, broth-type versions at most other venues. It comes at a pretty hefty price tag though ($60 for a bowl ...

for a 16oz set meal

1 Tanglin Road, #01-08 Orchard Parade Hotel, Singapore 247905

While not super fancy nor super cheap, Black Angus is one of the default options when I need my steak fix - particularly for their prime rib. The ambience and service isn't the greatest, but the food more than makes up for it. My favorite starters are the Wild Wild West O...

Dining in the Dark @ Nox $100.00

avg. per pax

269 Beach Road, Singapore 199546

This is one of the most unique and pleasant eating experiences I've had in Singapore. Basically you dine in complete darkness and have no idea what you're eating (don't worry, they'll ask you for allergies / preferences beforehand). The lack of sight gives a heightened se...
