CITY GUIDE 2018 253LET’S EAT#4 Satay
Usually available in chicken, beef and pork, these
meat skewers are always a hit with the whole family.
Order a side of ketupat (rice dumplings), the perfect
accompaniment to the peanut dipping sauce.
#5 Wonton noodles
This Cantonese noodle dish features thin and springy
egg noodles, meat dumplings and leafy vegetables.
Order it dry (tossed in dark sauce) or in soup (clear
broth) – your kids will love it either way.
#6 Yong tau foo
This Hakka Chinese favourite lets you choose your
preferred type of noodles, broth and ingredients.
Consisting primarily of tofu or vegetables filled with
ground meat or fish paste, it’s a dish that’s eaten dry
with sweet sauce or served in a soup.
#7 Roti prata
Also known as roti canai, this Indian fried pancake
is not the healthiest dish on the menu but kids lap it
up. Order it with egg or banana for nutrition (but we
all know cheese tastes the best!).
#8 Fried rice
Overwhelmed with the choices available? You
won’t go wrong with a hot plate of fried rice,
typically found at the zi char (a Chinese stall
serving a wide selection of affordable dishes
and seafood) of each coffeeshop. If you’re extra
hungry, order some sweet-and-sour pork as a
side – it goes perfectly with the rice.#9 Kaya toast
Want a quick and hearty brekkie? Try kaya toast- toast with coconut jam and a thick slab of cold
butter. Dip the bread into soft-boiled eggs for
a truly local experience! Our go-to spots are Ya
Kun Kaya Toast and Toast Box, but you’ll also
find this popular snack at most food courts.
#10 Ice kachang
No meal is complete without dessert; wash it
all down with a refreshing sweet treat to share!
Featuring shaved ice, syrup, jelly, fruit and other
mysterious ingredients, this rainbow-coloured
dessert is a godsend for hot afternoons.the team
