Like much hawker food in Singapore, chicken rice didn’t originate in the country. It hails from the south of China where recipes were adapted from Wenchang chicken by immigrants who left the country to make a new life in South East Asia. It arrived in the country in the 20s, though it was several decades later that the chicken rice became a hit in ...

However, the best kaya toast in Singa...
Like all the hawker food of Singapore, oyster omelettes differ greatly between stands.

While the curry clea...
Forget everything you know about carrot cake. Singaporean fried carrot cake or chai tow kwayis not the same thing. In fact, it’s not even made from carrot. White Chinese radish (often referred to as white carrot) is steamed, cubed and wok fried with eggs, garlic and a type of preserved radish make up this hawker food in Singapore. Two types exist, ...
If you’re going to taste just one hawker food in Singapore, make it chilli crab. There’s nothing quite like crab wok fried in garlic, chilli sambal, tomato and egg whites.
