Tai Cheong Bakery is a household name in Hong Kong, and the brand has won over many Singaporeans since its arrival in Singapore a few years ago. Fans of traditional Hong Kong cuisine would love their Cha Chaan Teng concept. Their Egg Tart ($2.40+) features smooth and creamy egg custard that’s surrounded by a crisp, buttery pastry, while their fragrant Pandan Tart ($2.60+) is equally popular, too.

3. Umi Nami


If you’re looking for affordable donburi in Singapore, look no further than Umi Nami. Out of the 10 rice bowls they offer, one that is worth trying would be the Aburi Salmon Don ($14+). It consists of a bed of Japanese white rice blanketed by torched salmon cubes with charred corners, sliced cucumbers, shredded radish, and a spoonful of tobiko. The aromatic salmon cubes complement the vinegared rice, and melt in your mouth with every bite you take. The best part is prices are nett, and water is free!
