Plan a food trip through Singapore
Singapore is built for hopping between hawker centres and neighbourhoods. In Chinatown, queue up Hainanese chicken rice, then cross to Katong for Katong laksa and Peranakan flavours. Little India brings banana leaf meals and fish head curry; Kampong Glam has murtabak near Masjid Sultan. Start the morning with kaya toast, then wander Gardens by the Bay and Merlion Park, or ride out to Sentosa for a beach break. Lau Pa Sat and Old Airport Road keep the satay and late bowls coming.
Places below come from our own research using public map data. Opening hours and details change, so please check before you go.
