1) Kaya Toast: Kaya means coconut jam, and spread on toast comprises a standard breakfast or snacktime offering. Wash down with Kopi and you’ll have done more than just ok lah.

2) Chicken rice: Of the Hainan ilk, not Halal. Singaporean because of the mounds of ginger, soy and red chilli sauce that accompany.

3) Chilli crab: Sweet, salty, and spicy…it’s a party in your mouth. The best part is finishing up by dipping fried mantou (bread) in its leftover juices. Quite possibly the most delicious dish one can experience, if done properly.

4) Laksa: Lotsa spices, but it’s all gravy. Literally.

5) Rambutan: Easy to be fooled by the spikey-looking hairs on this fruit that you’ve never heard of, so here are some instructions on how to eat them.

6) Char kway teow: This SIN-fully good dish of fried noodles is a national favorite. Yes, it’s supposed to be doused in oil. Have at it!
