An Indonesian flavour is given to the spicy coconut rice with the addition of Balinese black kepap manis which is a sweet and savoury soy sauce.

Top Picks for Lunch
XO Sliced Fish Bee Hoon is a delicious lunch dish, served with thick white noodles, fried slices of fish, ginger and Chinese cabbage.

Singapore chilli crab is a must try if you are sampling Singaporean street fare.
Sup Tulang
A left over’s soup that has taken Singapore by storm – Sup Tulang is basically shank bone boiled down with tomato paste and spices; best mopped up with bits of baguette. A delicious concoction Sup Tulang was born when street side kiosks ran out of Indian style mutton curry broth.
Dessert
Let’s not forget about dessert! If you have a sweet tooth after all the spicy dishes you’ve tried, try Tau Huey, a tofu pudding, served with delicious sweet syrup. If you are craving a nuttier flavour, try Tang Yuen in peanut soup.
