Singapore is known to be a food haven \u2013 offering you cuisines from various parts of the world. It is never too hard to find something to eat here, everywhere you go, there is bound to be something good, cheap or both. Except for a lucky selected few, there is nothing that will make you lose your appetite so when it comes to options, I\u2019d go with \u201ceverything\u201d and find something that goes with your budget and the environment, and something healthy for people who like to stay in shape and even try using equipment as the URBNFit Yoga Ball<\/a> perfect for training at home.<\/p>\n

However, with every perk comes with its own side dish of disadvantage \u2013 long queues. I am not sure if you have heard it but Singapore is known for its long queues. Well, good and especially cheap food comes with a price. So unless you are willing to queue for more than 20 minutes for a plate for chicken rice, stick to the less crowded but nearly \u00be as good.<\/p>\n

So what should you eat?<\/p>\n

When you get to Singapore, there is of course a few local dishes that you need to taste and what best place to get them than our unique hawker centers. It is a non-air conditioned food court that offers you cheap and good options that is almost half the price of what you can get in restaurants.<\/p>\n

Golden Shoe Hawker Centre<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Located in the Central Business District (CBD), Golden Shoe Hawker Centre<\/a><\/strong> is the most accessible and affordable lunch spot for the working class. Most of the time, we would be worrying about the super long queues and limited lunch break, but since we are looking more at dinner options, this would be a good place to get a taste of the Singapore food culture. Must-try stalls include the Market Street Nasi Lemak<\/strong> (#02-24) where yummy coconut rice is served with items that you can choose at the stall. People usually go for eggs, vegetables and one or two fried items and not to forget, the chili. Just in case you might not be a fan, remember to request the chili to be put at the side.<\/p>\n

Others include the famous Tiong Bahru Wanton Mee<\/strong> (#02-32) that is a bowl of noodles served with char siew<\/em> (barbequed pork) and wan ton<\/em> (prawn\/meat dumplings) and the Tong Fong Fatt Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice<\/strong> (#02-26) that is affordable and totally worth the average 30-minute queues.<\/p>\n
