Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Chai Tow Kway (Carrot Cake)
No carrot inside. Radish cake fried with egg + chai poh. Team White or Team Black?
Fish Tacos
Beer-battered fish, slaw, crema, lime in a soft corn tortilla. Baja California decided tacos needed the sea, and nailed it.
Basil Chicken Rice
Holy-basil minced meat stir-fry over rice, crispy fried egg on top. Order it spicy.
Hainanese Curry Rice
Pork chop, braised cabbage, lor bak -- all scissored up and drowned in curry-and-lor gravy. Looks like a mess, tastes like heritage.
Kueh Tutu
Little steamed flour cakes with crushed peanut or coconut, in a flower shape. A vanishing hawker treasure.
Indian Rojak
Pick your fritters, tofu, potato and egg, then drown the chopped pile in warm sweet-spicy peanut gravy.
Fish & Chips
Beer-battered fish, golden chips, mushy peas if you dare. A British transplant Singapore welcomed warmly.
Vietnamese Fresh Rolls
Rice paper, herbs, shrimp, rice vermicelli -- light as air, dipped in hoisin-peanut sauce. Summer in a wrap.
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.
Need some heat
For days when bland food simply cannot.
