Totally Tamsen: Singapore Street Food

Singapore’s famed street food has often been replicated in the U.S. but seldom with favorable results. Tamsen gets a taste.

Singapore’s street food is an amalgamation of cultures (Chinese, Indian, Malay, Peranakan/Eurasian), a testament to the multi-faceted dynamics of the country and its food culture.

Street food recipes are passed down from generation to generation and in most cases the hawkers tend to specialize on one particular dish serving hundreds of dishes every day, a staggering output considering the high-level of consistency they produce for each dish.

Singapore’s street food scene can be found in many heritage districts such as historic Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam but also near towering skyscrapers and commercial and residential areas.
