We, as Singaporeans are known to love our food and as a food heaven country with many varieties of delicacies, we’re spoilt for choice. In Singapore, you’ll be able to spot hawker centres, kopitiams, bakeries and shopping malls just a few distances away. This meant that whenever we are craving for any snack, we can always satisfy our craving and never go hungry. Here’s a list of our top picks with locations for the best selection in Singapore!
Curry Puff
Hot crispy pastry shell filled with chunks of curry chicken and potatoes (my stomach is rumbling just thinking of this), this is a traditional snack loved by many people, of all races. Sometimes differing in flavours, such as sardine or mushrooms, the puff is able to satisfy anyone’s craving from its savoury flavour and crispy pie skin. Old Chang Kee sells one of the most satisfying curry puffs in Singapore. With the various outlets that they have, you’ll definitely find a store near you – www.oldchangkee.com
Goreng Pisang
Goreng Pisang, also known as banana fritter is a banana deep fried in batter. Another well-loved snack, this is a common tidbit sold at Malay stores where the makcik would deep fry the fritter to a golden brown in the early mornings, leaving the favoured snack crispy and warm.

Muah Chee
A dish made out of bite-sized glutinous rice balls coated in chopped peanuts and sugar, this is known to be one of Singapore’s oldest and historical snacks. Usually, cut into small pieces while adding to the peanuts and sugar mix by the Auntie, the snack is served in a small palm-sized plastic container with two toothpicks. We often silently cheered for more peanuts when we watched the chewy rice balls being scooped up into the container.

Egg Tarts
A favourite Hong Kong snack sold in Singapore, the egg tart is a popular snack especially among the Chinese. With an outer pastry crust usually in an oval or circle shape, soft egg or egg custard is filled on the inside. Biting down on the tart, the combination of buttery crust and soft, sweet egg filling is bound to keep you wanting more.

Many variations are available with other ingredients such as prawn or crab meat.

Otak-Otak
Paired with Nasi Lemak or just eaten alone, this spicy fish cake wrapped and grilled in coconut leaves is awesome. Usually sold by the Malay uncle or auntie, they can be seen fanning the otak-otak while its delicious grilled smell travels in the air. The otak-otak is also sold in a non-spicy variety, with the fish cake looking white instead of the usual orange.
Location: Nam San

Ice Kacang
A well-loved iced dessert ordered by many Singaporeans especially in the humid weather, this dessert is first prepared with a mountain high of shaved ice in the bowl before condensed milk, gula melaka (brown sugar) and syrups. Below the sweet ice is a mix of cubed grass jelly, red beans and atapchi. Don’t we all remember having this to quench our thirst?

The light and refreshing soup cooked with longan, agar-agar strips, barley and lotus seeds. This can be found in dessert stores in hawker centres, with some stalls even branching out to sell mainly Cheng Tng.
