WHAT TO EAT IN Paya Lebar
Paya Lebar is a fast-moving central pick for office lunches, date-night backups, mall cravings and post-errand meals. Start around Paya Lebar Quarter / SingPost, Geylang Serai / Tanjong Katong, or MacPherson / Tai Seng, 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.
Kueh Tutu
Little steamed flour cakes with crushed peanut or coconut, in a flower shape. A vanishing hawker treasure.
Roti John
Egg-and-mince-soaked baguette, griddled crispy, chilli sauce. Pasar malam icon.
Hainanese Chicken Rice
The undisputed national comfort. Steamed or roasted, that chilli-ginger combo is non-negotiable.
Korean Fried Chicken
Double-fried, impossibly crunchy, glazed in sweet-spicy or soy-garlic. Makes regular fried chicken feel inadequate.
Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad)
Pounded unripe papaya, dried shrimp, tomato, chilli -- sour, spicy, crunchy and very moreish.
Churros
Fried choux ridges, dusted in cinnamon sugar, with chocolate dipping sauce. Spain's greatest export after Picasso.
Bubble Tea
Milk tea + chewy pearls, sugar level your call. The national second-stomach beverage.
Fried Chicken Burger
Crunchy fillet, soft bun, spicy mayo. The drive-thru hero.
