After a few years in varying states of lockdown, the world is once again ripe and ready for travel—which is why Metro Channel, through its food and travel show The Crawl , is once again bringing you to the hottest dining spots all across the world.


The Crawl and its hosts—which have included Margarita Forés, Edu Manzano, and Steph Kienle-Gonzales, among others—have been to the best and trendeist food and shopping destinations, from Angeles City all the way to New York and France.


This time, the Crawl team, along with its newest hosts, cookbook author and food and travel writer Angelo Comsti and culinary and lifestyle maven Happy Ongpauco-Tiu are taking on Singapore and its vibrant, must-visit gastronomic scene, from the hip and happening neighborhoods of Tiong Bahru, Chinatown, and Joo Chiat/Katong.


The Crawl: Singapore premieres on Metro Channel this week, on June 25—and here are some of the restaurants, food stands, dessert shops, and bars, you can expect to see in the episodes.

Tiong Bahru, the hippest spot in town


Tiong Bahru is often dubbed the hippest spot in town—and for good reason. As the oldest housing estate in Singapore, the neighborhood rich in history (its name means 'new cemetery,' as the land it is on was once a burial ground), and really, really good food and cultural hangs.

Tiong Bahru Market, one of the best hawker centers in the neighborhood. This hawker center comes extremely well-recommended by locals (including Janice Koh, who played Felicity Young in Crazy Rich Asians), and is home Zhong Yu Yuan Wei Wanton Mee.

Por Kee Eating House is a highly-recommended zi char place that specializes in a wide selection of delicious, rich dishes, like lotus root soup, cereal prawns, fried beef hor fun, and more. In Singapore, Zi Char, meaning 'to cook and fry,' is a dining term that refers to a wide array of Chinese dishes with hints of Malay, Indian and Peranakan influences that are served in humble stalls around the city.
