  1. Mee Soto Ayam

We love this Singaporean all-time favourite hawker dish because of its flavourful soup, tangy noodles and delicious shredded chicken – perfect as a comfort food. The Thermos® Shuttle Chef® is a great kitchen helper as it can simmer the soup and keep it warm for hours, so you can enjoy a bowl of Mee Soto at any time you wish!

The mixed vegetable curry dish is easily one of Singaporeans’ favourite dishes. It consists of compressed rice and a variety of vegetables such as cabbage, carrot and long beans. Lontong is great dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner –  you can make this and separate into different batches for the entire day.

You may know where to find the best Laksa, but do you know how to make your own? One of the most popular local dishes in Singapore, Laksa is all about the soup. Make sure that your rempah (spice paste) – also the most important ingredient in Laksa – is blended properly before you start on the soup.

Not the easiest dish to make but definitely worth the time and effort, this Lor Mee recipe also throws in a piece of pork belly for that extra thumbs-up! Don’t forget to enjoy the dish with a dash of black vinegar sauce and generous serving of minced garlic!

If you love curry fish head, then you will have to give this recipe a try. The good thing about making your own curry from scratch (this recipe comes with step-by-step instructions) is having the choice to create a healthier version as compared to the store-bought ones. You may like to opt for fish fillet if your guests are not comfortable with a fish head swimming in their dish.

  1. Singapore Teochew Bak Kut Teh

Bak Kut Teh is a garlicky and peppery herbal soup that comes with juicy pork and mushrooms. There is no better way to enjoy the soup than with a bowl of steamed rice and a cup of Chinese tea. If you don’t have time to make the dish from scratch, get spice sachets from the supermarkets or Bak Kut Teh shops for a quick fix.

Indulge in a small bowl of taro paste topped with gingko nuts to finish off the meal. Prepare the gingko nuts by removing the shells and soaking them overnight in syrup. Allow yourself two days to create this dessert, but if you are pressed for time, opt for processed gingko nuts from the supermarket instead.
