In the hawker centres and coffee shops of Singapore, people can lock chopsticks with all sorts of noodle dishes: Laksa jazzed up with tamarind and coconut milk, supremely comforting wonton noodles and plates of calorific char kway teow, smoky and charry from fire-breathing woks to name a few.
One dish that people will struggle to find, ironically, are the eponymously named Singapore noodles. Or at least what the rest of the world knows as Singapore noodles: rice vermicelli noodles, stir-fried with meat, vegetables and the dish s defining feature curry powder.

In honour of the powerful women out there, the team is holding the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun(damental Rights)” brunch on March 6 and 7. Rest assured they will prepare a delicious Middle Eastern feast of dips, mezze & salads and mains that you can customise.
It’s a tough choice for the mains as options include their signatures of lamb chorizo cassoulet topped with smoked tomato, cannellini beans and broken eggs; Fatteh Breakfast or poached eggs, falafel, tahini atop toasted pita; and Green Menemen, a healthier alternative of spring vegetables, soft eggs and pistachio dukkah. Whatever you choose, it will pair well with the selection of wines, beers and cocktails to be had if you top-up for the free-flow beverage option.

Hoi On Café’s cubed French toast
Opened in 1952, this cha chaan teng has true retro cred, but be warned, both the glossy red banquettes and the cubed French toast a peanut butter sandwich cut into quarters before being deep-fried, for maximum batter coverage might make your heart stop.
This family-run Shau Kei Wan restaurant is a beloved neighbourhood favourite, specialising in Tanka cuisine, which is heavy on both preserved, salted and fresh seafood. As such, their claypot specialties are reliant on umami-packed toppings such as dried shrimp, dried cuttlefish and dried fish. You can t come here and not order one of their other iconic claypot dishes either: clams with pork liver and a mountain of spring onions.
What to order: The signature three treasure (featuring the above mentioned dried seafood) claypot rice with preserved sausages, the triple shrimp (shrimp roe, shrimp paste and fresh shrimp) claypot, or the salted fish and minced pork claypot rice.
