30 famous Singaporean foods |
Some things we find on the internet are just too good not to pass along. Quoted below is just a taster of the musts to taste in this city that is built on food and dining. "Singapore is a hot pot of cuisines to eat, incorporating a rich heritage of food dishes consisting of Chinese, Indian, Malaysian and Indonesian influences. If you are a local Singaporean, you would have seen these dishes in the hawker centres below your void deck, in the food courts of shopping centres and in the quaint shop-houses decades old. These are the real dishes you need to eat in Singapore before you die. I know there are still dozens of dishes in Singapore that are true to our heritage, but if I were to cover them all, this list would take you 2 years to finish reading. As a Singaporean, there is no excuse to not trying these time-tested foods we all grew up with. As a tourist, this is a good check-list of authentic local cuisine in Singapore. These are the foods to eat in Singapore when you visit." The one and only traditional Singaporean breakfast - Kaya toast with soft-boiled eggs (pictured above). The traditional bread is an old school rectangular white loaf, toasted with a bread grill, lathered with coconut or egg kaya then slapped with a thick slice of SCS butter to slowly melt within two slices of warm bread. This is the classic kaya toast. Variations include using thinly sliced brown bread, round buns or "Jiam Tao Loh Tee" like a French baguette. For the eggs, they're usually put in a large hot water metal pot and covered with a plate. Then you time it and take out the egg when it's ready (about 7-10 minutes depending on how well you like your egg). Trying not to scream like a little girl, crack open the eggs with your bare hands onto 1 of the 2 plates given and throw the shells on the remaining plate. Season with pepper and dark/light soya sauce. Make sure you read the other 29 foods here.... |
