Singapore Guide

Restaurants & Bars

Feasting is a national pastime in Singapore, with foodies and gourmands alike spoilt for choice, and an original dining experience around every corner. 'Have you eaten yet?' replaces 'How are you?' as the common greeting, and from the lively outdoor cooking of traditional hawkers stalls, to the elegant tables of the island's exclusive restaurants - each meal is extraordinary.

Do not miss the East Coast Seafood Centre, where you can savour the scrumptious Chilli and Black Pepper Crab; or the Hawker Centres, including Lau Pa Sat and Newton Circus, offering mouth-watering local delights such as satay, roti prata and Singapore Fried Carrot Cake.

A riverside table at the wonderful Boat Quay is a superb way to enjoy sunset, or for something special, head to one of Singapore's many five-star restaurants to experience exemplary service and exquisite cuisine. Iggy's at the Regent Hotel, My Humble House at the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, or Summer Pavilion at the Ritz Carlton are popular 'hot-spots' of the moment.

Keen on impressing your friends back home with a uniquely Singaporean feast? Sign up for a half-day cooking course at culinary school academy at at-sunrice, or combine your passion for food with a spectacular party at the annual Singapore Food Festival each July - just don't eat for a month beforehand!
