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

mizz l. • January 30, 2017Soy sauce based items r slightly on d sweet side. Pig organ soup is very fresh & excellent. White rice is superb ! Do get the lemonade drink . Combined with soup , leaves a sweet milky aftertaste .

H M. • December 17, 2020Lots of options

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

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

Daniel F. • November 6, 2013The special house Anjappar chicken masala is pretty spicy, make sure you have the stomach for it! The naans are wonderful.

Joseph B. • December 6, 2011First timer - must try the claypot chicken rice and claypot loh shee fun (noodle). Ask for bitter gourd or chicken wine soup (without noodles) - delicious!

Grace • September 4, 2015Best soup base ever had ! Prepared for a Q! Don't order me poh!

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

Lynette C. • July 2, 2013Cod + chips, sprinkled with lots of salt, drizzled with lots of vinegar, finished off with a dip of curry sauce! Yum.
