Eating our way through Singapore

I'm WAY behind on posting about our travels, so you probably already know that we spent Christmas in Singapore and then New Year's in Bali. We liked Singapore so much that we went twice! Well, not really, but we did get to continue our exploration of the city with a day and a half on the way back to Delhi from Bali.

And we loved it. Singapore was clean, modern, cosmopolitan and had amazing food. We basically ate our way through the city, enjoying seafood, Chinese food and really anything that we thought looked interesting.

Some of our favorites were:

  • Prawn noodles and char kway teow at Food Republic in Wisma Atrium. I don't know the name of the stall that we went to. We just picked the one with the longest line. This was a great idea because the food was yummy.

  • Chili crab at Jumbo Seafood. We liked this so much that we ate at the one at Clarke Quay AND the one at East Coast Seafood Park.

  • Dimsum at Din Tai Fung in Raffles City Center. It took us awhile to locate the restaurant, which was at the back of the basement food court in the mall. But once again, looking for the big line helped us out. We *tried* to eat here twice - but it closed just as we arrived for one last ride of dimsum before our flight out. Boo.

We also did several rounds at many of the popular hawker stalls in Singapore where we samples some of Singapore's most favorite foods.

We're looking forward to returning one day and continuing our culinary tour of the city and all that it has to offer!
