Singapore is a Foodies Paradise

Author: If you are a foodie and a traveler, I recommend coming to Singapore. The food is amazing, with influences from Malay, India and China, all throughout the country; from the mall food courts, the hawker stands to the exquisite restaurants. My foodie journey began with checking out restaurants here , I found this site to have a very comprehensive list of the best restaurants and other food places in Singapore.
Din Tai Fung is the first on my ‘must eat’ if you come here to Singapore. Din Tai Fung is known throughout Singapore for their dumplings. I ordered the chili pork dumplings and the steamed pork dumplings. Both were really incredible; the chili dumplings was perfection in a spicy sweet sauce and the pork dumplings were little bites of heaven that comes in little dough pockets. I had to bite off a bit at a time, little nibbles in order to suck out the soup to devour the rest. Really, there’s a good reason for this place as number one on my list…so good!
Second stop was not a restaurant, but to food hawkers stand, this was where I fell in love with pork. I couldn’t help but get the same dish at different stalls. What I would ordered was basically noodles, and pork in a wonton soup. But, it’s how the food hawkers prepare the pork, slowly cooked until the sweetness and tenderness come out. All the hawkers, and it didn’t matter where I went, would only serve a few pieces of pork, I would always have to ask for extra, the extra cost more, but so worth it. The noodle pork soup should be served in a huge bowl, because I’d eat it in one whoop.
The mall food courts, which are listed on the website mentioned above, were incredible. There are so many bakeries, I was overwhelmed. I saw amazing homemade fruit tarts, cream puffs and donuts. I saw the longest line at the donuts place, so in line I stood, it didn’t take long. I ordered 3 small sized donuts, the cookies and cream, the mango and the apple cinnamon. All three were out of this world delicious; soft dough with sweet filling. The cookies and cream was filled with whipped Oreo and chocolate icing with Oreo crumbles on top, the apple cinnamon has apple pie filling and the whole donut was rolled in cinnamon sugar, and the mango was filled with a mango custard cream and mango icing on top. Heaven, pure heaven. I’m so glad I ordered the smaller versions of the donuts, they’re so rich I don’t think I could’ve finished all 3 if they were the regular size.
I know there’s more to do in Singapore than just eat, but after all, I am a foodie, and foodies must do what we do best – eat!
