Singapores' tips for local food

Some must-try items here at Maxwell Road Hawker Market include the famous Tian Tian Chicken Rice, the traditional Congee with pork, Century Egg from Zhen Zhen Porridge stall and the popular Char Kway Teow from the Marina South Delicious Food stall.

A popular breakfast place among the locals, the specialty of the house is Kaya on toast - Kaya being a thick, sweet syrupy green spread made from coconut milk.

It gets quite crowded in the evening, a reservation is recommended.

We recommend enjoying an ice-cold glass of beer while watching free street performances, which are frequently organised by the arts center Esplanade.
