Singaporean hawker classics with vibrant decor and attentive service
"Verdict: A useful spot to know about if you get your order right, but not everything hits. All butterscotch yellow walls, mint-green tiles, and retro checkerboard floors, Singapulah on Shaftesbury Avenue is a pretty place to pop in for a decent plate of food. The menu changes to spotlight different suppliers—get the creamy laksa, the bouncy shui jing dumplings, and the wonton mee with cold-busting pork broth if it’s on, but skip the nasi lemak. Follow that formula, and this Singaporean, walk-in only spot is a solid bet for a central London meet-up and pre-show meals. " - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing
"Singapulah isn’t perfect: the service is like an off-the-lead spaniel, friendly but chaotic, and some dishes are misses. But if you know what to order, this Singaporean spot is a solid bet for a central London meet-up and pre-show meals. All butterscotch yellow walls, mint-green tiles, and retro checkerboard floors, Singapulah on Shaftesbury Avenue is a pretty place to pop in for a decent plate of food. The menu changes to spotlight different suppliers—get the creamy laksa, the bouncy shui jing dumplings, and the wonton mee with cold-busting pork broth if it’s on, but skip the nasi lemak. For now, this joint venture between the Singapore Tourism Board and the people behind Rasa Sayang, is walk-in only. So if you arrive after 6pm, expect to join the crowd enviously peering in at families dunking luncheon meat fritters. photo credit: Rob Billington photo credit: Rob Billington" - Sinéad Cranna
"Opening on 6 November as a 50-cover restaurant at 15 Frith Street in Soho, this new spot channels Singapore’s hawker dining culture under the guidance of restaurateur Ellen Chew, head chef Lynette Zheng, and operator Willin Low. Its flagship is the Roxy laksa, a family recipe that began trading outside the Roxy Theatre in the 1950s and later moved to East Coast Lagoon Food Centre and Timbre+; the dish is a forerunner of Katong laksa, notable for shortened noodles and a broth thickened with ground dried shrimp. The menu also focuses on authentic hawker classics, including bak chor mee (noodles in a chilli–vinegar sauce with minced pork, pork belly, pork liver and pork balls), chwee kueh rice cakes, and brunch kaya toast, aiming to recreate a true Singaporean street-food experience in central London." - James Hansen
