Whether it’s your first time in Singapore or your umpteenth time here, Singapore, a multicultural and vastly diverse city-state is always full of surprises! Otherwise known as a food haven, here are 10 foodie spots that you’ll not want to miss!
- Maxwell Food Centre in Singapore
Located near the lively Central Business District (CBD) this spot is a must-go for many tourists! As per any food centre in Singapore, you’ll be spoilt for choices, with almost everything you could possibly want. One of the more popular stores here would be the Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice store (Stall 10-11) which was recognized by celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain when he visited Singapore a while back. Tender and flavourful chicken served alongside a bowl of fragrant rice and comforting soup!Another rather famous store at the same location would be Jin Hua Sliced Fish Bee Hoon (Stall 77). This store is known for its milky fish broth that gives off a very comforting taste on a rainy day. A definite must try for those who love fish or simply want to get a taste of warmth on a cold day. Do expect long queues especially during lunch hours! - YY Kafei Dian Singapore
Located at Beach Road, this coffee shop, while seemingly low-key for its location, is often seen bustling with people, especially on the weekend or during lunch hours. Known for having one of the best Kaya Buns in Singapore, expect to be served fluffy yet crispy buns with a generous spread of both kaya and butter. Paired with their aromatic traditional coffee or very Singaporean style Milo and boiled eggs, this makes the perfect breakfast for most locals. They do offer a wide variety of other cuisine such as Hainanese Chicken Rice, seafood and more which have gained compliments from some as well! - Roxy Square Food Court
In Singapore, Laska is a hot favourite among many locals. While there are many stalls all over Singapore that go by the name of “Katong Laksa”, one of the more popular stalls would be the one located in the food court of Roxy Square, this authentic cuisine is served with merely a spoon, no chopsticks provided. This highlights its speciality of deliberately short noodles that can be easily consumed. In addition, this stall is known for its rich lemak gravy that leaves customers feeling very satisfied with their meal.
Another popular stall in the same food court would be the Bei-Ing Yun Tuen Noodles. They serve delectable traditional wonton noodles and the most intriguing part is how the store owner calls out your number. His voice resonates throughout the entire coffee shop. Head down to experience it!
Lastly, the rojak stall by the corner, near the drinks stall is also amazing! Handmade with love and craft, this stall’s rojak is affordable and worth the money. Need we say more?
- Fu Lin Yong Tau Foo
Another local delight, this famous store “Fu Lin” has multiple outlets in Singapore, our favorite being the one located at Siglap. Pick out your favorite ingredients and get them to have it cooked either fried or with soup.

With more than 20 different types of ingredients to choose from, you’ll be sure to find something you’ll enjoy. Top it off with some homemade drinks such as barley and there, the perfect local cuisine! - RK Eating House Singapore
