Food and Drink
The
food in Singapore is fantastic. The country has an annual Food Festival
which features local cusine like Haianese chicken rice, laksa, chili
crab, satay and much much more. Head to Marina Bay for a 'steam
boat' buffet. It is pretty cheap just $10 or $12 and you can feast
on a variety of food like crab, prawns, beef, , pork and chicken.
Just pick your food from the counter and cook it in a hot pot of soup - either Tom Yam or Chicken - and you can also grill it on a hot plate. Eat all you can but there is a fine of $5 for food wastage, though it is seldom enforced. Just take the subway to Marina Bay and get out the station and take bus number SBS 400 and ask the bus driver, he will be able to direct you.
Chinatown Food Street
Savour the local delights like satay, seafood and wan ton noodles. The stalls operate in late afternoon till night. The road is beautiful decorated with lights, and prices are reasonable. It is a dining experience you will never forget.
East Coast Park Seafood Centre
Offers numerous seafood restaurants. You can eat beside the beach to enjoy the sea breeze. Most restaurants sell delicious chilli and pepper crabs. Reservations may be needed during weekend or during the holidays.
