Suggestions for Authentic places near Singapore

Keith L. • December 6, 2019One of a handful of places where you can pair some great IPAs with authentic Hokkien Mee, Singaporean carrot cake, satay, and many more local Singaporean cuisine.

Edna C. • April 23, 2016Great place for fans of collagen rich soup, but not for true lovers of authentic Chongqing spicy hotpot. Lack the kick of traditional 麻辣, n more pricey. My vote goes to HDL

Jamshed W. • October 31, 2010Great Thai food, possibly the most authentic Thai in singapore, but the best deal is that this place is great value for money.

Samuel T. • January 7, 2015Fantastic. Soup is rich & spicy. Comes at a very affordable price too.

Eefee T. • January 17, 2015Prices are cheap. Which is probably why this place is always packed with students. No way is this authentic Italian though. Get your own water at the drinks counter. Minimal service.

Maritz M. • March 7, 2014On Fridays, the Fish Briyani is one of the best in Singapore. The Garlic Naan with keema is also good.

Derek Y. • November 29, 2014Still better than the overly-hyped and super-cold Ramen place in Tampines Mall. Least the broth and noodles here tastes closer to the authentic Ichiran Ramen in Japan (ah, how I miss that...)

Jimmy L. • July 2, 2013Very reasonably priced and mouth watering authentic Peranakan food that made me come back for more. This is indeed a place for casual diners that love good food. JL

Melissa T. • June 11, 2013Must try the braised intestines, and the beancurd!!

H M. • December 17, 2020Big chain in Singapore

Elizabeth L. • June 3, 2015Get the grilled platter for 3 pax or 2 hungry people. Fish and chicken were juicy and tender. Huge portions for the butter pander and mint sauce for the papadums was refreshing. 20% discount given!

Benjamin Oliver O. • December 10, 2010A place for authentic Bugis Street Chuen Chuen Chicken Rice (since 1980), raw fish salad, porridge, curry fish head & a wide variety of stir fried dishes. Also serves great drinks & hongkong desserts.

Y H W. • January 29, 2013really authentic kopithiam ... great place for breakfast

Cheen T. • March 30Special ghee podi dosa ($7.50). Very crispy & aromatic, due to the ghee oil. Spicy from the podi power

Lee Ze Feng H. • August 22, 2015Occasionally slow service. Food ok, try basil pork rice

ChinLee L. • October 10, 2013Delicious food and not expensive. Must try the dessert!!!

Joseph B. • November 17, 2011This restaurant started 1 month ago and already enjoyed strong support from regulars for its authentic claypot chicken rice! You may want to try hugely popular claypot "loh see fun" too!

Cheen T. • August 30, 20162 items stood out in my bowl of minced meat noodles: dumplings (extremely tasty), & mushroom stew (extremely fragrant, very traditional). For his M size bowl, he gives ti poh (dried solefish). Yumz!

JuanJuan Y. • November 21, 2017The best Chaozhou style beef noodle so far in singapore!

Cheen T. • July 16, 2022Sampled side by side with Kim Hai #01-102 (left). This stall’s preparation was wetter, more aromatic & flavourful. Chilli paste was spicier too. The waiting time is also much longer

Queenie H. • May 4, 2011I prefer Penang prawn noodles at BISHAN st 24 kimly coffee shop.. Cheaper n better!! If u like Penang prawn noodles must try!! Tuesday off.. Other days 7am-2pm
