#singapore food guide

Crispy ikan kuning, fluffy coconut rice, and sambal that punches above its weight. We ranked Singapore's 10 best nasi lemak from queue-worthy hawker stalls to high-end interpretations of the Malay classic, then re-read every price and closing day against each place's own menu on 15 September 2026. The Coconut Club's current menu still does not list the S$9 Traditional plate at all, so the cheapest nasi lemak at the atas pick is the S$17 otah and the signature ayam goreng berempah is S$22, both before GST and 10% service. One date to plan around: NEA closes Changi Village Hawker Centre from 1 to 15 October 2026 for repairs, which shuts both Changi Village picks at once.

From Tian Tian at Maxwell to Ming Kee's chilled chicken in Bishan, we ranked the best plates of chicken rice in Singapore across three styles (Hainanese poached, Cantonese ice-bathed and Hong Kong soya sauce), with addresses, opening hours and the days each one closes.
