Chilli Crab & Black Pepper Crab
Chilli Crab is a world-famous seafood dish that you can find in Singapore. It is cooked in thick gravy with tomato chilli sauce base that give this dish a wonderful taste.

Usually, chilli crab is accompanied by mantou (Chinese bun) to help you to mopping up the sauce.



Hainanese Chicken Rice
It is a ‘national dish’ of Singapore and you can find it in every coffee shop, hotels or even in Singapore Airlines flights. It is a steamed chicken that is chopped into smaller pieces and placed on top of fragrant rice with thick black soy sauce and accompanied by a chili-lime sauce.



Bak Kut Teh
It is a healthy Chinese soup that consists of pork ribs, herbs and spices like dang gui which is served with rice, you tiao (Chinese fried dough fritters). You also can order the side dishes available like braised pork knuckle, pork liver and kidney.

However, you may find that the taste is slightly different due to the different dialects in Singapore.
