Irvins Salted Egg Chips & Fish Skin

Filipinos are undoubtedly one of the most adventurous foodies in the world, and our palates are always seeking new flavors. While we may have our own growing market of gourmet salted egg goods in Manila, nothing beats the original – Irvins Salted Egg Chips & Fish Skin. The burst of umami and the richness of the salted egg, paired with chips and fish skin, create an incredibly addictive bite. When in the city, don’t forget to hoard bags of this truly Singaporean snack.

Bee Cheng Hiang’s Bak Kwa

Indulge in a treat that has more bite with Bee Cheng Hiang’s bak kwa (jerky). Considered one of the top 5 bak kwas in the city, Bee Cheng Hiang is in a class of its own with its soft, tender, sweet and smoky jerky. This is the best pasalubong, so during the Lunar New Year, expect extra long lines to the counter. If you’re considering to buy a lot, place and advance order, and have these signed, sealed and delivered for your flight home.

Bengawan Solo’s Pandan Chiffon Cake

Bengawan Solo has become a household name in Singapore, thanks to its delicious traditional cakes and kuehs, which are still made following time-honored traditions. While people flock to its stores for Kueh Lapis Sagu (rainbow layer cake), Ondeh Ondeh (coconut-coated glutinous rice balls filled with molten palm sugar), and Kueh Lapis (spiced layer cake), Bengawan Solo is best known for its Pandan Chiffon Cake, a fluffy, delicate slice of heaven.

If you loved the experience of Ya Kun Kaya toast with hot kopi on a weekend morning in Singapore, you can recreate the same sweet breakfast moments back home with your own jar of Ya Kun Kaya. Similar to our coconut jam, Ya Kun Kaya is made from a delicious mix of coconut milk, eggs and sugar, which is then generously slathered onto warm toast. It’s a true luxury that can be enjoyed every day.
