Chicken Rice
S$3.50–S$6Singapore's unofficial national dish: poached or roasted chicken over rice cooked in chicken stock with ginger and pandan, served with chilli-garlic sauce and dark soy.
Char Kway Teow
S$4–S$6Flat rice noodles stir-fried over high heat with dark soy, egg, Chinese sausage, cockles and bean sprouts. The prized smoky aroma is called wok hei.

Hokkien Mee
