I’ve always dreaded the day that I would be asked this question because there are too many to choose from. And even if you pointed a gun to my head, I would still have to say it’s a tie between chicken rice and curry anything.
The best chicken rice is at Loy Kee on Balestier Road and the best curry is at Samy’s Curry on Dempsey Road. They have curry anything there.

There’s a stall in Tiong Bahru market that sells meepok combined with yong tau foo ingredients….YUM!

Power Nasi Lemak in Boon Lay. There are branches in Yishun and Novena Square but I think Boon Lay is the flagship and original stall. You get queues there even at 2am!

I love Madras Woodlands on Upper Dickson Road in Little India. I love everything on the menu! Damn shiok!
