Fuelling

Singaporean food is a thing of beauty, so if you’re making some traditional grub for your watch party then you’re in for a treat!

A favourite in Singapore – Laska is a delicious noodle dish that you absolutely have to try your hand at. It’s a spicy noodle soup with slices of fishcake, prawns, beansprouts and cockles in a curry soup with coconut milk and spices. We’re drooling already…

Another national dish that Singaporeans love is satay. Satay is marinated skewered meat – usually chicken, beef or mutton – chargrilled to perfection. It is an extremely popular street food and every vendor has his or her own concoction of spices they use in their marinade, so you can get creative with this one! To top off an already delicious dish, satay is usually served with a sweet peanut dipping sauce.

Now if you were to hear the term ‘fried carrot cake’ you’d probably think more Scottish fish and chip shop, not a Singaporean dish, but here we are! It’s not actually carrot cake, it’s a pan-fried savoury dish made with white radish, rice flour, eggs and chai poh – a preserved radish. Known as ‘Chai Tow Kway’ it is a popular breakfast choice or as a side dish.

Quenching

Your

Thirst

The Singapore Sling is not only the city’s most famous drink, it has a very interesting history. It was invented by barman Ngiam Tong Boon in Raffles Hotel around 1915. It is a gin-based drink that also includes pineapple juice, lime juice, curaçao and Bénédictine.

Singapore is also home to Tiger Beer – available worldwide you’ll be forgiven for not realising it is originally from Singapore, but this refreshing beer is a hugely popular choice.

Bandung is a traditional soft drink from Singapore that boasts nutritional and medicinal properties. It consist of evaporated milk, condensed milk and rose syrup – it has an acquired taste, but it’s worth a try.

While a traditional Singeporean drink sounds good, of course we’re going to recommend a Red Bull mocktail to wash down your satay. (https://www.redbull.com/in-en/red-bull-mocktail-recipes). We think The Spice seems rather fitting for this - you’ll just need a few lemon wedges/slices, lemon juice, chilli, some rock salt, and a can of Red Bull Sugarfree.
