The Singaporean chili crab was by far the most delicious dish I have ever tasted! The blend of thick sweet and spicy sauce that also had that egg drop/corn starch consistency was so satisfying in every bite. The mantou is also dipped into that special blended sauce, and it was beyond describable. Everyone traveling to Singapore must try this! No joke. The black pepper crab was also delightful especially since I'm not a huge fan of overly peppering my dishes. It was a bit more on the dry sauce side, but hey, not complaining! This was also good in every bite. Overall, this was such a satisfying meal despite the priciness of it. The sauce to crab proportion was on point, and the ambience was great as well!

Day to night at Clarke Quay

First stop of the day was Chinatown! I've heard so many things about Chinatown from cheap Hawker Center food to decently priced shopping, so this was an it place to go! The first thing we did was wander the streets in Chinatown before we made it to the Hawker Center that contains the ONLY Hawker food stall that has a Michelin star.

First thing we saw when we arrived at the food stall was a 10-15 people wait line. The wait was actually not too bad. I heard the wait could even be 1- 1 1/2 hours wait! Luckily, we arrived early and had to wait only 30 minutes. To actually get the food was pretty fast because the meat was already cut by 2-3 kitchen staff. I think the wait was 30 minutes just because the people in line before us were maybe indecisive or asking too many questions. But anyway, moving along to the food!

I can't believe one plate of chicken rice costed only $2. It was such a guilt-free and delicious meal! The chicken was marinated with their special soy sauce that was pretty different from your regular soy sauce. It had this nice blend of sweet and salty taste that was in my opinion really tasty! Everyone must try this when going to Singapore. A Michelin Star Hawker stall and reasonable prices that don't burn a hole in your wallet. What more is not to love?

Chinatown

After shopping at Chinatown and feeding ourselves a round of coconut, es chendol, and cheng tng desserts, we headed over to Orchard Road for shopping and the infamous ice cream sandwich. 

The ice cream sandwich was so good too! The durian ice cream was my favorite. It had a perfect balance of bitter and sweet to the ice cream. The taro ice cream was too milky and artificially-flavored. So what I recommend is the durian ice cream for all those durian lovers like me!

In Orchard Road, there were many shopping centers, but the ones that I would recommend is Ion and Takashimaya. Ion has plenty of restaurants and shopping, that makes it a one-stop shopping center. Takashimaya, which is one of the department stores, impressed me with the food level. There were plenty of desserts, food, and drinks for all those foodies like me! The most noted one I found was the durian pancake. It was literally to die for! We found food courts at the food level as well, but the prices did not beat the ones at the Hawker centers. You will definitely find the same kinds of foods at Takashimaya at Hawker centers, so definitely go to Hawker centers.

The next places we went to were Bugis Street and Geylang. Bugis Street was also another Hawker center with quite a good amount of local shops selling clothes, jewelry, handbags, and accessories. Bugis Street was also known for their Hawker food, but we were too full to eat anymore, so the only one we ate was the dragon's breath candy. It was okay for the first few bites, but the sweetness was too overpowering that it became too sweet. The nitrogen-infused candy did not last until the end because there was no more steam coming out. Overall, this was only good for a one time trial.
