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-area swipe if you want a wider net.
Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Fried Chicken Burger
Crunchy fillet, soft bun, spicy mayo. The drive-thru hero.
Unagi Don
Glazed grilled eel over rice, smoky-sweet. A little luxe.
Eggs Benedict
Poached egg, ham, hollandaise on an English muffin. Wobble it. If it doesn't wobble, send it back.
Carbonara
Silky egg-and-cheese pasta with pepper + bacon. No cream, fight me.
Soon Kueh
Translucent skin hugging juicy bamboo shoot and turnip, dabbed with sweet dark sauce. Teochew grandma energy.
Egg Tart
Flaky or shortcrust shell, wobbly custard centre. Dim sum's sweet finale.
Mentaiko Pasta
Creamy spicy pollock roe tossed through al dente pasta -- a Japanese-Italian fusion that deserves its own category.
Char Kway Teow
Wok hei, cockles, lup cheong, dark sauce. Cholesterol later, shiok now.
