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.
Claypot Rice
Smoky rice with lup cheong, chicken, sweet dark sauce, crispy bottom. Worth the wait.
Mee Soto
Soto ayam's noodle cousin β spiced chicken broth over yellow noodles. Shiok.
Hokkien Mee
Prawn-stock-drenched yellow noodle + beehoon, with that pork-lardy depth. Sambal compulsory.
Bandung
Pink rose-syrup milk, sweet and floral. Mamak-stall classic.
Kimchi Stew
Bubbling sour-spicy kimchi stew with pork + tofu. Rice essential.
Katsu Curry
Crispy cutlet over rice drowned in thick Japanese curry. Comfort, maxed.
Beef Rendang
Slow-cooked beef in dry spiced coconut, fall-apart tender. Padang royalty.
Japchae
Chewy sweet-potato glass noodles, sesame, veg + beef. Springy and savoury.
