"The Yerba Buena-adjacent lunch scene is a lot more exciting with Dabao Singapore. The Singaporean takeout counter inside the Metreon serves street food classics like solid Hainanese chicken rice, fried chicken cutlets, and seafood laksa. The noodle soup is one-note, but is heavily improved with a smear of the phenomenal house sambal on every bite. The best dish on the menu is the char kway teow—the sauteed noodles are smoky, and the hunks of lap cheong and shrimp scattered throughout add more salty-fatty depth. If it’s nice out, you can take your lunch to-go and enjoy it in the grassy gardens, but there are plenty of tables in the food court for immediate slurping. photo credit: Julia Chen" - Julia Chen
