Some Singaporean bites & bars

 

Don’t know if Singapore is a high end Gastronomy State city, especially considering even Singaporeans are not sure about a particular local dish, but for sure you’ll find a lot of everything, Chinese, Indian, Malay, Thai, Western, etc.

So, if I had to line up some recommendations of places to eat and drink, it would go as follows… with ♥ as tested and approved and ∇ recommended but yet to be tested.

Brunches Food courts Indian Dim Sums Vietnamese Other Asians French Italian Other Europeans Others from other parts of the world Freeflows Going over the top By the Beach Bars
