Welcome to Singapore! 🇸🇬
For those going to @xrplapex and need some places to eat and don't know where to start then here you go!
I have lived here a little over 5 years and it can be a little overwhelming when coming into a new country.
An easy way to determine if the food is good is to check if there is a queue. Singaporeans like to queue for great things.
I put these places somewhat near the event. If there is no link to google maps, they have plenty of stores around so just google.
I suggest bringing tissues and wet tissues with you everywhere. Stop by a 7-11 or Watson's/Guardian and pick some up or you will be wiping your hands with the receipt.
For traditional breakfast:
Soft Boiled Eggs, Kaya Toast and Kopi (very strong coffee. I usually get a a kopi-o kosong (means no sugar) - basically a Singaporean Americano.
Ya Kun Kaya Toast
Toast Box
I prefer the coffee at toast box but the kaya toast is better at ya kun.
For KBBQ places that cook for you... yes, they cook it for you and it's awesome. I would go eat there every day if I could.
Dutum (Closed Mondays)

Non-Marinated Beef and Pork Set. I will add Chicken as needed. There are other sets. Onion pancake is good too.
Guiga

I order the Set C. Again, Beef and Pork. There are other sets and you can replace typically if you don't do beef.
For Chicken Rice, Hawker Style. Yes there are others, but these have proven to be consistently great and my go to for bringing out of towners and repeat visitors.
Maxwell Hawker Centre
Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (Cash Only and Closed Mondays)
maps.app.goo.gl/CiekEvdzyLZjCC…
I always ask for no sauce, no bones, steamed and breast. I call it my go to out of towner meal. I usually get extra chicken but I am fat. Line can get long so I like to go early.
Maxwell Hawker Centre
Ah Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice (I believe Cash Only)
maps.app.goo.gl/yPW9A89LuiNrWG…
There are other places in Maxwell that are good as well just look for the queue.
For fancy, in doors with air conditioning but expensive Chicken Rice (who cares though, you're on business/holiday):

I prefer the Black Pepper Crab.

If you have walked around the Marina Bay Sands area, Jypsy and a few other places there are also good. If you want more suggestions, then feel free to ask here.
There are other Hawker Centres, such as Lau Pa Sat that will typically have Satay Street after 7PM (can get crowded), Amoy Street Food Centre, Chinatown Hawker Centre and People's Park Food Centre. Feel free to check out China Town as well.
There are other food that you should try such as:
Char (or Fried) Kway Teow
Nasi Lemak
Laksa
Mee pok
Fish Head Soup / Fish Soup
Frog Porridge (not a fan)
I usually don't eat those as often unless I am with a group of friends and family and they typically will order it in.
Good luck and enjoy your time in Singapore!

There are 251 million under educated and underprivileged youth that need education financing. XRPL lowers that barrier of entry.
Built this as part of the @easya_app and @Ripple hackathon in Singapore 🇸🇬

An £18 airport full English breakfast cooked in 4 minutes likely reflects high operational costs and quick preparation methods, often leading to lower quality. Airports charge more due to captive audiences and high rents, but quality varies. Some, like Newcastle, offer better value at £8.95. Research dining options or bring food to avoid overpriced meals.
