We mapped out a delicious drive route you can go on a whim
When Singaporeans bring their foreign friends around Singapore, these visitors will most likely conclude the day with wide smiles and stomaches bursting at the seams. We daresay just by our multifaceted culinary scene is enough to reveal much to know about Singapore.
And regardless of whether there is an overseas acquaintance to impress, we certainly have no qualms about embarking on our own culinary excursions with other passionate foodies. After all, Singapore is a tight-knitted nation, where traipsing across one hawker centre to a Michelin-starred restaurant is only but a hop, skip, drive away.
While Singapore's public transportation system is efficient, commencing a food trail in your own vehicle will make the journey a lot smoother. And fret not if you are not blessed with your own shiny four-wheel steed (COE prices, we're looking at you), there's always the option of getting a rental from car sharing service Smove.
The car sharing company is great for one-off trips with its pay-by-the-hour format. So in case of a last-minute extension to your foodie adventure, you can always opt to top up one more hour to the rental if no one made a prior booking. Smove also boasts more than 100 pick-up/drop-off locations in Singapore. This means you can pick up your rental at say, in Bedok before dropping off the car at Serangoon at the end of the drive.
We tested out Smove's car-sharing service by getting into one of the rentals before speeding off on a culinary expedition!

3. Tiong Bahru Food Centre for tea
Peckishness is basically synonymous with teatime. For light bites that still satisfy, drive out to Tiong Bahru Food Centre, a one-stop culinary destination for all. There’s no need to carry the inconvenient bulk that is your car keys with you, because you can access your Smove car using your ez-link card. After locking your Smove ride by tapping your ez-link card on the sensor, chope a table with a tissue packet before assigning roles for everyone.
Weiming, you can get the drinks (Michael Jackson, avocado smoothie, teh ping siu dai, and kopi-o). Sandra, can you please see if the kueh stall is open – if so, get whatever you want just as long ang ku kueh is part of the order. Someone else please get four pieces of chee kueh. There, tea is sorted.
