Best sandwiches in Singapore hands down. These guys are making me broke. I’ve gone thru every sandwich on their menu and there are no duds at all. Everything is on fire.

Mr & Mrs Mohgan Super Crispy Roti Prata is a small, bustling spot in Singapore that's often buzzing with customers. Tucked away in a hall, it’s a bit out of the way but many say it’s well worth the visit, especially if you’re looking for a relaxed stop after a long journey.

Super crispy roti prata. Very busy little shop inside a hall with the most delicious, butterycrispy prata. Choose from three curries: fish, mutton, or dahl, add chilli samba and order a kopi from Tin Yeang Restaurant. It’s a little way out but well worth the trip and soothing for those with jet lag.

Loy Kee serves chicken rice in the Balestier area. It’s a bit more old school. I love their roasted chicken rice set. When you come here, you have a choice of either a roasted or steamed chicken. When it comes to chicken rice, I'm on the roasted chicken rice camp, so that's what I always go for.

I am bottomless when it comes to noodles and I love prawn noodles. Da Shi Jia is the place that I love to go to, on Killiney Road just off Orchard Road, which is the main shopping district. Da Shi Jia is a place that serves big prawn noodles and they call it Prawn Mee. It's a slightly different take on it because they serve it in a giant bowl with Bee Hoon, which is a type of rice noodle with big, giant pieces of prawn. What really makes it actually is the sauce and the broth that they use to cook the noodles. It's a mixture of prawn heads and pork stock and they cook it on the wok so it has that rich umami smacking goodness from the broth and at the same time that smokiness from the wok. I always bring all my friends who visit to this place. It’s run by a young Singaporean couple who is the hardest working young couple I've ever seen. I always recommend this place.
