My 3 Selections:
(1) Laksa - Roxy Laksa at East Coast Park
(2) Nasi Briyani - At Tekka Market
(3) Char Siew Wanton Noodle - Like the one at Blk 504A (Multi Storey Car Park Blk) Coffee Shop, Serangoon North Ave 4
P.S. Memorable mentions - Char Kway Teow & Fried Hokkien Mee.
Briyani, Satay, Chicken Rice, Wanton Mee all not uniquely Singaporean leh... our neighbours up North always claim this to be theirs.
My choice of Singapore food
1. Hokkien Mee - Singapore version, the Malaysian version is a totally different animal
2. Laksa - Malaysia calls it curry mee... but the cooking method and taste is different. Don't even mention Penang Laksa.... miles apart.
3. Mee Pok Tah - those with fishball and bakcchor like the Jln Tua Kong Lau Lim type...I don't think I have ever found mee pok in Malaysia, this dish is truly uniquely Singapore.
My choice :
1. Prawn noodle (tyhe hong)
2. Chicken rice (tian tian)
3. Fish ball noodle : dry with chili (ion food opera)
And chili crabs :D

(1) Used to stay in Marine Parade and ate that Char Kway Teow quite regularly.
Your post brings back tasty memories :cheers6: And no need to feel guility la ... can induige once in a while in "sinful" food :cheers6:
(2) Chicken Rice, Nasi Bryani, Satay, etc - perhaps not uniquely Singapore, but they have become so much part and parcel of food that Singaporeans love to eat, that they are considered as part of local food cuisine.

I can't seem to find nice char kway teow in Singapore. The one at Old airport road food centre reputed to be very good but I was utterly disappointed after queueing up for it for 30 min. Ate only 1/4 of it.
Perhaps I prefer Penang Char Kway teow but I have yet to find a good one. To be able to eat this type of high caloried food, it must be excellent, otherwise it is not worth the calories.

Many years ago this was my parent's favourite too.
I probably ate there as a child but I can't remember the taste.
Got phobia of trying cos the so called good ones turned out to be a fiasco.
But since u recommend, I will try it.:)

I heard that the katong shopping centre chicken rice got a strange yellow hue?
Oh I tried Tian Tian at Joo Chiat few days ago.
The rice was good and big grained.
But I think the chef put too much MSG.
Also I find the chicken at Tian Tian slightly above average only.
1 plate costs $3.80 but it is huge and I can only eat half of it.
Btw, also tried wee nam kee at I12 katong- total disappointment- expensive and average only.

I find Tian Tian way over rated.... especially the sauce that they slather over the chicken... overwhelming... can't taste the chicken only the sauce.
But hey... that's just me... btw I think the chicken rice standard in Singapore is quite high already so even when you any old how pick, its still hard to find any chicken rice that totally CMI.
Strange no mention of boon tong kee or 5 star chicken rice there is
Also one chicken rice stall at changi village opposite the cheers store
At changi village...honestly i think chicken rice is singapores
Most popular hawker food everywhere can find..

Five star used to be my favorite 20 years ago.
Now I find it too salty n laden with MSG.
Boon tong kee I have not tried for a long long time cos each time I wanna try, five star is just few shops away n we end up eating there.
The changi village one is at the coffee shop, right? Some tiong bahru chicken rice? Yup that one is delicious.

Recently I discovered one of the best Malay food ever in Blk 1 East Coast Road, opposite Siglap Centre, next to Framer's Choice.
The row of flats that are due for SERS.
There are 2 Malay ladies selling food there.
Wonder how long the stall has been there.

Most people tah pao cos few seats available.
Actually I tot it Did not look appetizing.
One day I was on the way and wanted to eat at the opposite FUlin yong tau foo. After I parked my car there was a downpour, since I was just outside the stall, I decided to give it a try. I did not know such a humble looking stall can serve such wondrous food!
That would be Jamal restaurant... they have pretty good briyani... and I think they've gone 24hrs too.
Wonder what will take the 4 block's place after SERS... many say MRT station but the area seems a bit congested to accomodate one... but then who nows? they've managed to squeeze one in Holland.. In any case, it won't be another HDB, building height restrictions makes it not feasible.

This one is in blk 1, the corner shop next to the drain.

I am a frequent patron of this market and this stall.... Selera is very popular with long queues in the morning and lunchtime... but IMHO it is only so-so...
... I would say the main attraction of the stall is its price... it starts at $1.20. This is very attractive for the cost conscious Bedokians. This area plenty of retirees...

Also there was a bungalow with a huge plot of land in front.
