Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Banh Mi
Crunchy French baguette stuffed with pate, pickled veg, chilli, cilantro. Colonial history never tasted this good.
Soto Ayam
Fragrant turmeric chicken soup with bergedil + ketupat. Rainy-day comfort, halal.
Fried Chicken Burger
Crunchy fillet, soft bun, spicy mayo. The drive-thru hero.
Specialty / Craft Coffee
Single origin, dialled in, served with a little card explaining the farm. Pretentious? Maybe. Delicious? Always.
Yakitori
Char-kissed chicken skewers -- thigh, heart, cartilage -- over binchotan. Beer mandatory.
Chee Cheong Fun
Silky steamed rice rolls, sweet sauce + sesame. Dim sum breakfast favourite.
Xiao Long Bao
Pleat, lift, bite corner, slurp soup, devour. Steam burns are an acceptable cost of admission.
Acai Bowl
Thick frozen acai, granola, fresh fruit on top -- the Instagram hit that is also genuinely delicious.
