About this spot
Nasi Lemak is one of the best spots in Tiong Bahru. Singapore is a food-obsessed nation where $3 hawker meals compete with Michelin-starred restaurants — and sometimes win.
💡 Tips before you go
- Hawker centers are where the best food is — some have Michelin stars
- "Chope" a seat with a tissue packet before ordering at hawker centers
- Kopi (local coffee) comes sweet with condensed milk — "kopi-o kosong" for black no sugar
- Singapore food is a mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Peranakan — try them all
