For those thinking about food options in Singapore here are some recommendations...essentially the locals like myself will go to these places, and you can't go too wrong!
Mind you, food in Singapore is not that cheap compared to Malaysia or Indonesia, and alcohol is quite expensive as well.
Around Pan Pacific hotel area
1. Suntec city - Just a walk across Pan Pacific hotel, there are lots of dining options around the world's largest fountain. Some of my favourite places there includes Muthu Curry (famous for their Fish head curry), Din Tai Fung (Chinese food), Kay Lee Roasted Meat (roasted duck, pork belly, honey baked pork collar), Tonkichi
2. Marina Square - Connected to the Pan Pacific Hotel itself. The place to try out would be Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice (one of Singapore's signature local dish), Ah Lam's Cuisine (noodles and salt baked chicken).
Slightly further away but worth the trip
1. Old Airport Road food centre - lots of really good local hawker fare, be prepared to queue for the more popular stalls.
2. People's Park Market
3. Tekka Market (right next to Little India, lots of really good, soulful India and Chinese food there)
4. Bugis area/ Albert Street food court - located near Sim Lim Square where you can find all kinds of electronics gadget.
Avoid
Satay by the Bay, Glutton by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands (unless you're prepared to pay through your nose), the infamous Newton Hawker Centre (ultimate tourist trap).
Hotel food are ridiculously overpriced.
Try this if you dare
Durian season has just started and those who dare to take on the challenge can try them out around the Bugis area.
