Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Salted Egg Yolk Dishes
Salted egg yolk sauce on anything -- chicken, prawns, fries -- the sauce SG's food scene cannot quit and should not.
Mentaiko Pasta
Creamy spicy pollock roe tossed through al dente pasta -- a Japanese-Italian fusion that deserves its own category.
Bun Bo Hue
Spicy, lemongrass-fragrant broth, thick round noodles, pork knuckle. Pho's bolder, spicier cousin from the centre.
Butter Chicken
Velvety tomato-cream curry, smoky tandoor chicken, naan for mopping. The dish that turned a generation into curry lovers.
Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad)
Pounded unripe papaya, dried shrimp, tomato, chilli -- sour, spicy, crunchy and very moreish.
Korean Fried Chicken
Double-fried, impossibly crunchy, glazed in sweet-spicy or soy-garlic. Makes regular fried chicken feel inadequate.
Economical Bee Hoon
A dollar or two, a scoop of fried beehoon, add-ons of choice. The breakfast that built a generation.
Fried Chicken Burger
Crunchy fillet, soft bun, spicy mayo. The drive-thru hero.

Dessert and drink run
For second stomach, after-meal strolls, or a low-commitment catch-up.
Good for sharing
Order a few things, pass plates around, let everyone claim they chose well.
