"Open for: Lunch and dinner Price range: $$ At this combination Singaporean kopitiam and cheese shop, chef-owner Jeanne Chai offers a deep-dive taste of her homeland (earning fans like actress Michelle Yeoh along the way). Try the flaky, dip-ready roti prata with curry chicken. Or go for the Tingkat Trio, a multitiered lunchbox featuring an avalanche of flavorful appetizers, such as har cheong gai (chicken wings marinated in shrimp paste that plummet you into an umami utopia) and ngoh hiang (beancurd rolls stuffed with pork, shrimp, and water chestnuts permeated with the warmth of five spice powder). Must-try dish: This is one of award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh’s favorite local spots. Her go-to order is white chicken rice and laksa (without noodles), extra bean sprouts, and kueh salat." - Tiffany Leigh
