The vibrant city-state of Singapore is nestled at the tip of the Malay Peninsula. This tiny island nation is a harmonious blend where tradition meets modernity. Singapore has a captivating history and rich cultural heritage that is celebrated through its diverse blend of ethnicities, languages, and religions, but most importantly its food! Singaporean food has many influences from around the world but  Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, and the UK. It sounds so random but it's the best amalgamation of cuisines from all those countries and more. What's particularly great about Singapore is eating out is actually very cheap! Singapore is known for its Hawker Centers, think a food court but without the dodgy food, where you can usually try Singapore's best-known dishes. You have to try Hainanese Chicken Rice, Nasi Goreng, Roti Parata, Char Kuey Teow but feel free to branch out from my favorites.  I first visited Singapore when I was 6-months old. My dad was born and raised in Singapore. Whenever we go, it's one big food tour ensuring that we eat our favorites at least one time before departing. Here are some of our go-to spots, in addition to a few other places that are highly rated that I haven't had the chance to visit yet. This guide focuses on my recommendations for the best food and drinks in the Lion City but as always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Singapore!
