Singapore Laksa - Singapore

We found some delicious food across from the used book store on the 5th floor of the Far East Plaza on Scott Street in Singapore. Singaporean Laksa was our first course - a rich, coconut milk soup with noodles, shrimp, tender chicken, tofu, mussels, and chili sauce. Fabulous.

Home-Made Wantons - Singapore

When the owner of Cahaya Muslim Restaurant on the fifth floor of the Far East Plaza (Scott Street in Singapore) saw us devour our first two courses - laksa and mee huon kueh - he offered us a small plate of home made fried wantons. The difference with his wantons, he explained, was that they were filled with fresh vegetables - carrots and turnips - instead of meat. Served with sweet sauce (that looked very similar to chocolate sauce), they really were scrumptious. We had to waddle out of his place.

Yong Tau Foo Soup - Singapore

Our first meal in Singapore - yong tau foo or dry soup. Take a big bowl, take your pick of ingredients - from greens to fish balls to tofu to sausage to noodles - and decide whether you want it in a broth or dry. Nice and light, but still flavorful.

Singapore Food at Maxwell Food Court - Singapore

Lightly stir-fried broccoli greens, big chunks of tender fish cooked with ginger and herbs, and ground meat with star anise and other flavors that we can't quite identify (in a good way). Another superb meal in Singapore for under $4. Taken at Maxwell Food Court in Singapore. Read about our culinary exploration of Singapore. © www.uncorneredmarket.com

Hainanese Chicken Rice - Singapore

Hainanese Chicken Rice is another culinary specialty unique to Singapore. It doesn't sound very exciting at first - rice cooked in chicken broth, slices of roasted (or steamed) chicken served with cucumbers and herbs, hot sauce and sweet soy sauce, and a light chicken stock soup with vegetables. The result is delicious, however as the different, subtle tastes play off each other perfectly. Taken at the hawker center between Waterloo Street and Bugis Street in Singapore.

Malaysian Food, Nasi Lemak - Sim Lim Square, Singapore
