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.
Fish Head Bee Hoon
Chunky fish head, silky bee hoon and a cloudy savoury broth, with evaporated milk only if that is your camp.
Korean BBQ
Raw meat, live fire, your table becomes a restaurant kitchen. Wrap in lettuce, add kimchi, question why you don't do this every night.
Eggs Benedict
Poached egg, ham, hollandaise on an English muffin. Wobble it. If it doesn't wobble, send it back.
Mentaiko Pasta
Creamy spicy pollock roe tossed through al dente pasta -- a Japanese-Italian fusion that deserves its own category.
Korean Fried Chicken
Double-fried, impossibly crunchy, glazed in sweet-spicy or soy-garlic. Makes regular fried chicken feel inadequate.
Pig's Organ Soup
Peppery preserved-vegetable broth with pork slices, liver, stomach and other offal, best with rice and courage.
Curry Chicken Noodles
Thick bee hoon and mee swimming in lemak curry with tender chicken, tau pok sponges soaking up every drop. Queue-certified.
Cake / Pastry
A great slice of layer cake or a perfect croissant -- the non-negotiable afternoon pick-me-up.
Start closer in
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.
Comfort backup
Low-drama dishes for when you want dinner to behave.
