Long Wall Claypot Frog Porridge, nestled on a street corner in Chinatown, has been a local favorite for years. Their signature dish, “Long Wall Claypot Frog Porridge,” features smooth, not overly soft, white porridge with a hint of sesame oil fragrance. Even a small portion is generously filled with tender frog meat, making it hard to stop eating — often, the whole pot is finished before you know it. The restaurant is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 AM, making it suitable for any meal — breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night snack.

▲ Spot the word “Kopi” on the drink stall sign.

With its multicultural blend, Singapore’s drinks are as rich and colorful as its people. To drink like a local, there are four beverages you must try — all easily found at hawker centres.

1.Kopi
When you see “Kopi” on a drink stall sign, don’t assume it’s just black coffee. In fact, Kopi is coffee with sweetened condensed milk added for aroma and flavor. Locals often pour hot Kopi into plastic bags for easy carrying — though you can also ask for it in a cup if you prefer. It’s one of the most common drinks on every street corner.

▲ Dinosaur Milo (Milo Dinosaur)

2. Dinosaur Milo (Milo Dinosaur)
Milo is familiar to many Taiwanese, essentially a chocolate milk drink. But what makes “Dinosaur Milo” special is that after adding ice and pouring plenty of Milo, a generous layer of Milo powder (i.e., cocoa powder) is sprinkled on top. With the ice covered in a layer of powder, it resembles a dinosaur’s spine — hence the name. Stir it slightly with a straw, then sip — the sweet, icy, and rich chocolatey taste makes it a popular summer refresher in the perpetually warm Lion City.

▲ Michael Jackson (drink)

3. Michael Jackson
One of Singapore’s most unique drinks, the “Michael Jackson” is inspired by the King of Pop’s classic song “Black & White.” It’s simply soy milk (some shops label it as “soy milk water”) mixed with grass jelly. The taste is light, allowing you to enjoy the subtle aroma of soy milk blended seamlessly with the grass jelly — another must-try beverage in the city.

▲ Chendol

4. Chendol
More of a dessert than a drink, Chendol consists of iced coconut milk topped with green rice flour jelly, grass jelly, and other colorful ingredients. The sweet, cool taste paired with the vibrant visual scoop-by-scoop is a quintessentially Southeast Asian drink that every visitor to Singapore must try.

Singapore offers food enthusiasts a diverse and unique culinary experience, satisfying every palate. No matter your taste or budget, you can enjoy the ultimate in flavor here. Behind its modern innovations lies a deep respect for tradition and history — whether it’s the renowned chefs in restaurants or the local eateries on every street corner, the colorful array of foods reflects the vibrancy of Singapore’s multicultural fusion. In the Lion City, passion creates limitless possibilities. “Heart to Singapore.”
