Singapore is officially the most expensive city for expatriates, according to new data from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
An average bottle of table wine now costs $25 in the city-state, twice what it did 10 years ago.
But that doesn’t mean you have to blow a ton of cash on fantastic food in Singapore.
While Singapore has plenty of five-star fine dining options, most people opt to eat street food in the city’s inexpensive hawker centers, which are open-air food courts where vendors prepare everything from Malaysian curries to Indian roti and Chinese noodle soups.
We ate our way through Singapore on a trip last year, trying everything from hawker centers to fine restaurants. Here are the best things we ate.
Disclosure: Our trip to Singapore, including travel and lodging expenses, was sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board.
Chicken rice is Singapore’s unofficial national dish. First, chicken is boiled in a flavorful broth. Then the rice is cooked in that same broth. The result is a fragrant, flavorful, succulent rice that pairs perfectly with the juicy chicken.
Chili crab is another one of Singapore’s national dishes. The crab is doused in a spicy chili-tomato gravy. Eating it is a messy affair — the best way to eat it is to crack the shell with your hands and slurp out the meat. Then mop up the gravy with doughy buns.
Choy sum is a Chinese vegetable that’s a thinner version of bok choy. It’s prepared with garlic as a side dish that complements chili crab.
