1. Loo’s Hainanese Curry Rice
There’s no shortage of Hainanese curry rice in Singapore, but a good one is hard to find. That’s why we love Loo’s Hainanese – the thick and sweet curry, prepared for days, is a gastronomic experience. One bite of the marinated pork chop and fresh seafood dishes, and you’ll understand why people wait in long lines for lunch here. This stall has been around since 1946, so you know your food is in the hands of experts.
