What To Eat For Breakfast, Lunch, And Dinner In Singapore
Okay, so you've landed in Singapore, and your tastebuds are ready for an adventure. But with so much amazing food around, where do you even START?! Don't sweat it, fam, we've got your back. Here's your ultimate guide to eating your way through Singapore, from sunrise to sunset! Breakfast: Kickstart Your Day the Singaporean Way! 1. Kaya Toast Set Forget your basic avocado toast, honey. In Singapore, we do breakfast right! Your must-try is a classic Kaya Toast Set. Imagine perfectly toasted bread slathered with a sweet, coconutty kaya jam (it's like a dreamy custard!), served with soft-boiled eggs you dip your toast into. Don't knock it till you try it! Pair it with a strong, local coffee (kopi) or tea (teh) for that authentic kick. You can find this gem at almost any kopitiam (coffee shop) or even places like Ya Kun Kaya Toast or Toast Box. It's cheap, it's cheerful, and it's a total game-changer. 2. Prata Roti Prata is Singapore's beloved, flaky flatbread, often served with a side of savoury curry. The dough is expertly stretched and flipped, creating irresistible crispy layers on the outside and a soft, chewy interior. Whether plain (kosong), with egg (telur), or even sweet variations, it's a versatile and iconic dish for any meal! Lunch: Hawker Centre Hopping – A Foodie Wonderland! 3. Chicken Rice Alright, buckle up buttercup, because lunch in Singapore means diving headfirst into a hawker centre. This is where the magic happens, and your biggest dilemma will be choosing just ONE thing. Feeling like something hearty? Grab a plate of Chicken Rice. The fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, succulent steamed or roasted chicken, and that killer chili sauce? Chef's kiss! 4. Hokkien Mee You're craving some noodles? Hokkien Mee with its smoky, prawny goodness will blow your mind. 5. Singapore Laksa If you're a spice fiend, Singapore Laksa (a rich, coconutty noodle soup) is calling your name. Seriously, just walk around, follow your nose, and pick a stall with a queue – that's usually a good sign! Maxwell Food Centre or Lau Pa Sat are great starting points. Dinner: Level Up Your Eats – From Street Food to Seafood Feasts! 6. Chilli Crab As the sun sets, Singapore transforms into a twinkling foodie paradise. For dinner, you can go a little fancier or stick to those incredible hawker vibes. A quintessential Singaporean dinner experience has to involve Chilli Crab. It's messy, it's saucy, and it's absolutely legendary. Get ready to crack some shells and slurp up that sweet, savory, and spicy sauce with some fluffy mantou (fried buns). Jumbo Seafood or Long Beach are popular spots for this. 7. Satay If you're still in the mood for something more casual but equally delicious, hit up another hawker centre for some Satay (grilled skewers with peanut sauce). You can mix chicken, beef and mutton in any quantity to your liking. 8. Bak Kut Teh Rainy days call for a steaming bowl of Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup). Your stomach will thank you later! Boiled with lots of white pepper and herbs, this hearty meal will definitely warm your insides. Order braised pork belly on the side to complete the meal! So there you have it! Your edible itinerary for a day in Singapore. Get out there, be brave, and eat ALL the things. You won't regret it!

'I'm hungry. Cannot meh?!' — Stranger who snatched toast and walked away from diner at Toast Box asks
Photo: Toast Box FB SINGAPORE: A diner patronising the Toast Box outlet at Jurong Point was left speechless after a stranger snatched food off her tray. The diner told citizen journalism portal Stomp that the incident took place on Sunday afternoon (June 1), around 12:30 p.m. She said, 'This auntie sat at the table next to my family for quite some time. She didn't order anything to eat or drink. Then suddenly, she stood up, stretched her hands across to our table, snatched a piece of our peanut toast, ate it, and walked away!' The diner added, 'We were too shocked to react.' Interestingly, the family bumped into the same woman at the same outlet looking for another target, around the same time the next day. The diner decided to confront the woman and demanded an explanation from the stranger for her behaviour. Instead of apologising or expressing remorse, the woman allegedly shouted, 'I am hungry and I want to eat! Cannot meh?!' The diner urged Singaporeans to beware of such individuals. She added, 'Her hands are so fast! … much faster than crows snatching food!'

'This is daylight robbery': Toast Box patrons upset with difference in menu pictures and actual items
Photo: Toast Box FB SINGAPORE: Some Toast Box patrons have raised concerns over what they describe as a glaring mismatch between the chain's promotional images and the actual food served at outlets across Singapore, with some accusing the popular local café brand of 'daylight robbery'. A customer named Steve told citizen journalism portal Stomp that he visited the Toast Box outlet at IMM on April 27. He ordered a S$7.10 set meal consisting of a hae bee hiam soft bun, two soft-boiled eggs, and a cup of coffee—a typical offering aimed at local breakfast lovers. However, what arrived at his table didn't quite meet expectations. 'Look at the vast difference between the poster and the actual,' Steve said, 'This is daylight robbery.' He added, 'Perhaps the poster suggests that the hae bee hiam is applied only to the edges and not the inside of the buns.' Steve also noted that he reached out to Toast Box via Facebook Messenger to express his dissatisfaction but had not received a response. The issue of alleged misleading presentation doesn't seem isolated. Another disgruntled diner, Audrey, recounted a similar experience from an earlier visit to Toast Box's United Square outlet on April 10 at around 11:45 a.m. She ordered the braised pork rice set with a cup of coffee and a slice of cake for S$12. 'Think I just had my last meal at Toast Box,' she told Stomp. Audrey claimed the portion of meat served was 'shockingly small' and far from what was portrayed in the promotional images. 'Food served with meat cut by 10% from the poster,' she said. 'It's truly disappointing, especially when you crave for the dish,' she added. 'Even though we all know the posters are impressions, this is just way too ridiculous.' The complaints have sparked debate among netizens, with some echoing the sentiment and sharing their own underwhelming experiences. Others argue that marketing images are, by nature, stylised and not meant to reflect exact portions. Toast Box has yet to issue a public statement responding to the complaints.
