One of the best things about being Singaporean is the sheer number of options for breakfast. It’s just so much easier to get out of bed when you have a dizzying array of Chinese, Malay and Indian bites to look forward to. Here are some ideas for tomorrow.
1. It doesn’t get more nostalgic than kaya toast and soft boiled eggs
2. And prata (especially when you’ve had a wild night)
3. We can do classically Chinese with chwee kueh
4. and also chee cheong fun
5. For a dash of spice in the morning, there’s mee siam
6. And popiah to line the stomach
7. If your mom’s cooking, there might be beehoon and sliced fish
8. Then there’s nasi lemak from the shop around the corner from the office
9. And putu mayam on the weekends
10. Lontong, especially during Hari Raya
11. And when we plan to eat nothing for the rest of the day, roti john
12. Who doesn’t love prawn mee?
13. Small budget, big appetite? There’s economy beehoon.
14. Then there’s lor mai kai when you want a blast from the past
15. and who can forget carrot cake—also great for supper
16. And finally, the most quintessentially Singaporean breakfast of them all…
Don’t laugh. You know you love it.
