Top 5 Singapore Bites
Karen Fong, raised in the Lion City, tells us five local places for great Singaporean food.
Kopitiam (L8, The Metropolis Arcade, 6 Metropolis Drive, Hung Hom, 3162-8949) “A legit Singaporean food court in the mall at Hung Hom KCR Station! The Hainan chicken rice there is amazingly authentic.”
Malaymama (G/F, 11A Mercer St., Sheung Wan, 2542 –4113) “Pretty good Singaporean Malaysian laksa. Not too spicy, though.”
Katong Laksa, Prawn Mee (G/F, 8 Mercer St., Sheung Wan, 2543-4008) “The prawn broth takes over your senses the moment you step into the place. The mee siam is tart and fantastic.”
Tin Hau Laksa (81 Electric Rd., Tin Hau, 2806-2683) “They serve their laksa with glassy noodles and an abundance of toppings to choose from, like razor clams and even duck breast and ox tongue.”
Spices (109 Repulse Bay Rd., Repulse Bay, 2292-2821) “It really feels like Singapore here with the high ceilings and veranda. The variety of food is unparalleled. There’s even an English high tea set!”
