Laksa – A rich, coconut milk-based soup featuring rice noodles and various ingredients, including shrimp, fishcakes, hard-boiled eggs, and bean sprouts. Meat, typically shrimp, is included in this dish. It's a popular street food that boasts a complex fusion of Malay, Chinese, and Indian flavors. The heat level can vary, but it generally leans towards mild to moderate spiciness.
Chicken Rice – Hainanese-style poached chicken served alongside fragrant, flavorful rice cooked in chicken broth. This classic comfort food often comes with a side of chili sauce and a portion of chicken fat, which some diners may choose to add for extra taste. Though it primarily features chicken, it can also be prepared with other meats like duck or pork. It is usually a non-spicy dish, but the accompanying chili sauce can add heat to taste.
Satay – Marinated skewered meat, commonly chicken or beef, grilled over an open flame and then served with a side of peanut dipping sauce. Often garnished with cucumber slices, lettuce leaves, and lemon wedges, this portable snack is beloved for its appetizing combination of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. While meat is central to this dish, vegetarian versions using tofu or tempeh can also be found. The spice level varies depending on the peanut sauce recipe, but it's generally on the milder side.
