Bugis Singapore Street Food

This Singaporean restaurant in the Philippines attempts to bring the flavors of Singapore to the local dining scene, but some of the dishes take unexpected turns that don’t quite hit the mark. The nasi goreng and char kuey teow, for instance, come across much sweeter than the versions you’d typically find in Singapore. Instead of the smoky, savory depth and umami punch these dishes are known for, the sweetness dominates, leaving them feeling unbalanced and a bit out of place. For those familiar with authentic Singaporean hawker fare, the difference can be disappointing. On a more positive note, the laksa is a pleasant surprise. The broth is rich with coconut milk, fragrant with spices, and carries just the right level of heat to warm the palate. This dish comes closest to capturing the bold, comforting flavors you’d expect from a proper Singaporean laksa and is easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, while the effort to localize flavors may appeal to some diners, the sweeter interpretation of staple dishes takes away from their authenticity. The laksa redeems the experience, but for anyone seeking a true taste of Singapore, this restaurant may feel like a mixed bag.

We dined here before. During the pandemic days. We instantly loved their laksa! We dined again today, this time we tried the me goreng, it taste good,however, the saltiness is a little strong for me.

Waiting time is a little longer than we expected. Still, the food and the service is good. The Te Tarik milk tea is a must try

Food was great and gives value for money. We got the bestsellers marked on the menu and they did not disappoint. The laksa broth was packed with flavor, the stir fry vegetables didn’t look like much but I couldn’t stop eating it, and the soy garlic chicken remained crispy despite being left in the sauce for a while. Better to go during off peak hours so there’s no wait for a table and it’s easier to park

Lunchtime at this restaurant is consistently bustling, making it a popular spot. However, parking can be a challenge during peak hours, so it's best to arrive early. Among their standout dishes, the Laksa is a notable bestseller that you simply must try. Don't miss out on pairing it with their refreshing lemongrass ginger hot tea. While they offer a variety of dumplings, the quality is decent and priced reasonably.

A commendable casual dining place. For me, Bugis' highlight is the value for money of their food. Food: 10/10. The refillable laksa soup was a particular highlight. Service: 10/10. They were very accommodating and even allowed me to wait inside for my family, for about an hour. Atmosphere: 9/10. With only a minor suggestion for improvement regarding exhaust for better airflow.

It's been years since I came here that it was before the pandemic years. They started from the small restaurant nearby called Shiok-Shiok but separated after they got popular with bigger space. Singaporean and Malaysian dishes like their classic Laksa and Bak Kut Teh have been their specialty and popular ever since. You can't go wrong with those orders when you come here. It's always busy or full parking ever since so you need to come here quite early like 5 or 6PM or else it's hard to get parking. I hate one of our orders called Scallion Pancake, they are literally made from 90% flour only so am not sure what this is supposed to be where it is so bland, even with the sauce it still tastes awful.
