Basically, I took photos of what I ate in Singapore during my winter break and I'm gonna share my thoughts on them. Food in Singapore is probably what Singapore has best. If I put a ★ next to it, that's my MUST EAT. So keep a look out for that!
★ Ban Mian:
My favorite hawker food. <3 If you're not familiar with hawker centers, it's basically an area where there are many stalls. There are the air-conditioned ones which are like food courts in malls and those which are not air-conditioned.

Koi is definitely one of my favorite bubble tea stores. I actually only drink the ice cream milk tea from Koi and I love it so much.
The white thing in the middle is the ice cream.
Yami Yogurt:
I was shopping but I was too lazy to eat proper food and so I just got some yogurt. It's just yogurt so there's nothing really special about it.
士林 Chicken:
I only ate the chicken cutlet from this store and I think it's just another snack I will eat when I'm too lazy/busy to eat proper food. It's pretty good though!
Carrot Cake:
This is another classic hawker food. My brother likes it much more than I do. Sometimes, we eat this for breakfast!
Chicken rice is so good, but you have to go to this Sin Kee eating place. It's in Queenstown, and it's pretty close to the Queenstown library. I cannot tell you how much I love chicken rice and this chicken rice is definitely a MUST EAT. My family can totally finish an entire chicken because it's so good. I know the pictures don't look very appetizing but if you're going to Singapore, just go eat it.
Here's another bubble tea store I love and I almost always get the honey milk tea. Sometimes I get passionfruit tea but I feel like it's too sweet. I would prefer Gong Cha to Koi because I personally like bigger pearls.
★ Laksa:
This is another favorite hawker food of mine. I don't really like to eat too much spicy food but there's no doubt I would eat this.
Crystal Jade Kitchen:
This is the roasted duck from Crystal Jade Kitchen. Who doesn't like roasted duck. :p
My mom says that this is called roasted pork belly. Basically, the skin is crispy but the meat is soft. It's really good.
Owen Seafood Restaurant:
If you love seafood, this restaurant is awesome. It's in Bukit Timah and when I was living in Singapore, my house was in Bukit Timah and so on lazy Saturday nights when my dad doesn't feel like cooking, my family will eat there.
You can even pick out the seafood that you want, whether you want a smaller sized or a larger sized creature. They calculate the weight of it and you pay accordingly.
Clams.
★ Black pepper crab. This is another must eat in Singapore. You should be able to find this at any seafood restaurant. Another alternative Singaporeans like is the Chili crab. I prefer black pepper to Chili so I've never eaten Chili crab before.
This is available in practically any hawker center and it's my favorite hawker drink. Plus, the storeowner usually makes the drink by running the sugar cane through machines on the spot, so it's freshly made.
Yang Chow Fried Rice:
My brother is a sucker for this. He asks my dad if he can have a plate in almost every restaurant. Good news is, this is also available in many hawker centers so you don't have to pay as much compared to if you eat it in restaurants.
Pastamania:
This is just a restaurant where you can eat pasta, pizzas, and other Italian food. I forgot the name of the pasta I ate there but I love cream based pastas!
★ Hokkein Mee:
This is a hawker food and this is seriously soooooo good. You have to try it out if you're in Singapore. You really won't regret it.
★ KFC Cheese Fries:
This is the only junk food that I will ever eat in Singapore. And for all the health freaks out there, you won't regret giving this a try. You still can get rid of those calories but if you didn't try this out just because you wanna be thin and fit and you boycott every single junk food out there, I feel sorry for you.

★ Hor Fun:
Another hawker food once again. Absolutely love this.
And another hawker food once again. My dad always brings my family to the hawker center at Raffles Place. Apparently, he really likes this one particular stall. Well, if you go there, just look out for the stall with the longest queue for this. Seriously, minced pork noodles are good.
★ Garrett Popcorn:
This is perfection. When I shop at 313 Somerset, I can smell the popcorn from like 5 meters away. I believe the flavor I got was caramel crisp? When I was back last December, it was actually my first time trying out Garrett Popcorn because my mom never allowed me to eat popcorn for non-movie purposes I don't know why...
Popeyes:
I had Popeyes when I was chilling with Tzire. The fries are kinda unique.
7/11's Slurpee:
I really love drinking Slurpee especially because Singapore's so warm and humid. It's basically an ice-blended drink.
I can't believe Shanghai doesn't have this! I love white chocolates and this particular chocolate has such a thick coating of white chocolate and there's even a waffle inside.
One of my favorite ice creams! I know it doesn't look that good but it tastes awesome. My favorite flavor is the Nutella/Hazelnut flavor. <3
Macarons:
I really like Macarons but I don't think you have to particularly eat macarons from Bakerzin, which is where I got these from. Singapore has a lot of stores that sell Macarons, however, I feel that they are pretty expensive. I'm not sure if it's cheaper in France and I should go check it out the next time I travel to France.
<3
Alright so that's all I have! I hope you got some new ideas of what to eat if you're going to Singapore on a vacation. Trust me, I've lived in Singapore for 15 years. I know most of the good stuff. Actually, you just have to go to hawker centers/food courts. They have everything there. Singapore food is really diversified and there is Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western food everywhere.
Thanks for reading (:
