Hidden Gems

Tulang, dry ban mian, frog porridge, rojak and chwee kueh top the list for the adventurous food lovers

Singapore has long been famed for its delicious food. A relatively new country with influences from many cultures, it is arguably most famous for its laksa, fish head curry, kaya toast, and bak kut teh. And although its food does bear a lot of similarities to Penang’s, there are still some lesser-known local favourites that are worth checking out.

Tulang

Also spelt tolang, it is an Indian-Muslim dish that is a must-try for any meat lover. A mutton stew with gravy served in an earthen pot, the marrow can be drunk straight from the bone. With meat that falls right off the bone, it is melt-in-the-mouth good and looks wholesome and world-class in photos.

Dry Ban Mian

 

The comfort food of choice, dry ban mian is basically home-made noodles with a gravy or sauce and toppings of your choice. The usual combinations are a type of fish cake, mushrooms, pork, and shrimps, and they can be as artful as they are homey. While you will find a ban mian store in almost every food court and hawker centre, the quality varies greatly!
