Eating Singapore in a Single Day: A Hawker Centre Marathon

You can eat your way across Singapore in a day — if you plan the route like a flight schedule and pace yourself like a marathoner.

Morning

Kaya toast, soft eggs, strong local coffee. The right way to calibrate.

Midday

Chicken rice and laksa, back to back. Split portions if you can.

The best meals here cost a few dollars and a willingness to queue.

Evening

Chili crab. Messy, communal, unforgettable. Extra mantou to mop the sauce.
