Singapore is a place where many cultures have merged and as a result, cuisines belonging to each of those culture have evolved to become authentic Singaporean dishes. Here are a few dishes that both visitors and locals must taste!
Bak Kut Teh / Meat Bone Tea

Some say that this dish came to be when a poor noodle stall owner prepared the dish to feed a starving beggar. Others say that the dish was made to rejuvenate Chinese coolies back in the day. Whatever it’s beginnings may be the dish is a favourite among those who’ve tried it and is even served at some of the Clarke Quay hotels in Singapore.
Wanton Mee

This dish originates from Hong Kong; however, the Singaporean version tastes good too. Here the noodles are eaten dry with a bowl of soup as a side. The noodles are mixed with a bit of sweet sauce and can be eaten either with chilli or tomato sauce added to the ensemble.
Fried Carrot Cake
This dish is whipped up with eggs, preserved radish (chai poh) and white radish flour cake which looks much like a carrot. One variant of this dish includes sweet sauce and the crispy version where chunks of cake are served.
Chilli or Pepper Crabs
Be it the sweet sauce version or the black pepper sauce version of this dish, it tastes absolutely amazing! It tastes even better when eaten with fried mantous dipped in the thick sauce! Find this favourite even at fancy restaurants at hotels like Park Hotel Clarke Quay.
