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.
Pad Thai
Flat rice noodles, tamarind, fish sauce, peanuts, lime wedge. Thailand's most exported noodle, and rightfully so.
Eggs Benedict
Poached egg, ham, hollandaise on an English muffin. Wobble it. If it doesn't wobble, send it back.
Mee Soto
Soto ayam's noodle cousin: spiced chicken broth over yellow noodles. Shiok.
Orh Kueh (Yam Cake)
Steamed yam cake with savoury dried shrimp and shallots, sliced thick and finished with sweet sauce or chilli.
Tau Suan
Warm split-mung-bean soup with you tiao. Soothing old-school sweet.
Soba
Nutty buckwheat noodles, hot or chilled with dipping sauce. Light + clean.
Chicken Chop
Crispy chicken, black pepper or mushroom sauce, fries + coleslaw. Cai-fan-stall western.
Okonomiyaki
Savoury cabbage pancake, bonito flakes dancing, mayo + sauce. DIY-able fun.

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.
Need some heat
For days when bland food simply cannot.
