WHAT TO EAT IN Chinatown
Chinatown is a fast-moving central pick for office lunches, date-night backups, mall cravings and post-errand meals. Start around Chinatown Complex / Smith St, Tanjong Pagar / Keong Saik, or Neil Road / Duxton, or use the whole-town swipe if you want a wider net.
Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Roti Prata
Flaky, crispy, flippable. Kosong, egg, or go full cheese-mushroom — fish curry on the side.
Pasta
Al dente and proud of it -- aglio olio, carbonara, arrabiata -- whatever your mood, pasta has the answer.
Burrito
A hefty foil-wrapped bundle of rice, beans, meat and salsa. Two hands required.
Molten Lava Cake
Warm chocolate cake with a gushing molten centre, scoop of vanilla on top. The dessert-menu MVP.
Naan & Curry
Pillowy, charred-at-the-edges flatbread from the tandoor, best used as a curry vehicle. Tear, dip, repeat.
Sambal Stingray
Charcoal-grilled stingray slathered in sambal, on banana leaf. Squeeze the calamansi.
Korean BBQ
Raw meat, live fire, your table becomes a restaurant kitchen. Wrap in lettuce, add kimchi, question why you don't do this every night.
Hainanese Chicken Rice
The undisputed national comfort. Steamed or roasted, that chilli-ginger combo is non-negotiable.
Start closer in
Halal-friendly ideas
A useful starting point. Still check the stall's halal cert before ordering.
Dessert and drink run
For second stomach, after-meal strolls, or a low-commitment catch-up.
Comfort backup
Low-drama dishes for when you want dinner to behave.
