7. Jollibee
The biggest fast food chain in the Philippines is a crowd-pleaser the world over, and 4 years after its opening in Singapore, the queues haven’t quite settled down. But don’t cry
fowl yet! We think it’s well worth the wait, and with how reasonable the prices are, we’ll certainly
wing it.

Jollibee’s
Chickenjoy (SGD 6.95 for a 2-piece meal) does live up to its name. One of the best fast food fried chicken in Singapore, it’s tender, flavourful, and juicy, with skin so crisp. When dipped into the delicious accompanying gravy and eaten with rice, it’s oh-so-comforting!

Also, do try the
Spaghetti (SGD 3.20) if your belly yearns to be extra
Jolli - it’s done Filipino-style and is sweeter than the usual tomato-based spaghetti.

8. Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut
Psst, a little birdie told us chicken may be a little too conventional! It’s not easy to find halal duck in Singapore, much less in everyone’s favourite Ayam Penyet style. Enter Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut, which changed the game forever - literally, because duck meat is slightly gamier than chicken!

As you can see, duck skin crisps up more than chicken skin after frying. If you’re bought over by its crackling goodness, order a side of
Kulit Bebek Goreng / Crispy Duck Skin (SGD 4.90).

10. 4Fingers Crispy Chicken
Another "KFC" has stolen our hearts - and we’re not chicken-hearted to admit it! Korean fried chicken is like a neater, less greasy, cousin with character - sometimes sweet, other times like spitfire! And how can anyone say no to our chicken being double-fried for extra crispness?
Credit: @viigeee_ on Instagram
It’s hard to choose between 4Fingers’ addictive Soy-Garlic sauce and Hot sauce, so why not have both? Devour them while wearing gloves, because you wouldn’t want to get caught
red-handed with sauce. An
18 Pcs Wingettes & Drumettes Combo (SGD 28.45) comes with 3 servings of fries and drinks, so grab two other friends who love fried chicken as much as you do. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together!

The
Chicken Katsu Sandwich (SGD 10.45 for a set meal) is another
breadwinner! Fried chicken and kimchi slaw are encased by a fried bun that’s crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside.

11. So Pho
Scoot over to SO PHO for an un-pho-gettable meal! Vietnamese cuisine is a mix of sour, salty, sweet and spicy flavours, and SO PHO’s Vietnamese street food provides an authentic experience of all of them. Utter com-
pho-rt food!
Credit: @suzssin on Instagram
Of course, with a name like that, it’s a safe bet to order SO PHO’s
Vietnamese Pho - Sliced Beef, Brisket and Beef Balls Noodle Soup (SGD 10.80). Its clear broth is pho-lavourful and re-pho-reshing, and not too greasy (we’re on a pun roll today!).

Speaking of rolls, if you decide to
roll with it and would like to try something different, order the
Fresh Noodle with Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Fried Spring Rolls (SGD 10.80), where vermicelli is used instead of the usual flat rice noodles. Lots of flavours and textures in this bowl!

For a reel-y classic dish, the
Swiss Fish & Chips never fails to satisfy. A mozzarella and oregano stuffing goes in the fish, which is then topped with an indulgent garlic lemon butter sauce.

We’re not
squidding! There are so many fish in the ocean, and Singaporeans just can’t stop choosing the one with the golden salted egg yolk sauce. This version’s topped
and stuffed with salted egg yolk sauce. Egg-cellent choice, ma’am.
