Lunch Recommendation close to Stamford

We arrive at Changi Airport just before 1pm, we have decided that as soon as we have checked in to the hotel we would like to grab some lunch. Can anyone recommend somewhere within walking distance or a couple of MRT stops from the Swissotel Stamford? We are very keen to try the local cuisine and figured it would be better to do that out of the hotel.

That boss U see in the first pic, talk loud but dun mistaken him as rude ^__^ (That wat I think until some old pple told me that his personalities ^__^).





There is a desert stall (First stall at a corner, opposite a Fruit Juice Stall that sell good Ice Kacang %26amp; which was not in the blog but was really good, the Old uncle was generous with the brown sugar syrup. He also sell a real thirst Quncher Plum Drink.





And All the way to the back where a row of stall face the apartment opposite and where there are Muslim Food Stall.........here at the first corner stall is a really good chinese chicken rice stall.....Damn good chilli sauce for tasty chicken rice.......The soup that come with the chicken is simply delicious.....





If I am walking all the way from Smith Street to Yue hwa, this is wat I would do:





Walk to Chinatown Food Centre, have either chicken Rice or Roast meat (I prolly choose the chicken Rice %26amp; for 2 person, get half a steam White chicken with 2 rice)....after chicken rice, walk back about 3 row %26amp; order the ice Kacang for desert.





From here, walk over around chinatown (Visit the Buddha Relic Temple, if U want) then to Pagoda Street to get your 3 for S$10 souvenir %26amp; walk down to Chinatown MRT over to the other side %26amp; have Yong Tau Foo Soup or shop at Yue Hwa first ^__^. If you like to get some handbag, you might want to go up to the handbag department of OG Department Store here. (They have a good range of ladies handbag here).

Lunch Recommendation close to Stamford


If you aren%26#39;t up to treking too far straight after the flight and if you haven%26#39;t been to Singapore before and need to time to get your bearings, you may want to try the food court located in the Raffles City shopping centre (2nd floor)which is connected to your hotel.



The conniesiours are probably choking on their food reading this but a food court is a perfect introduction to Singpore food and hawker style for the visitor, before trying the more authethic hawker centres. About S$3-4 for a main meal, plenty of choice and bright pictures with English descriptions of the dishes to help you choose. I usually stay at other connected hotel, and make this my first pitstop after collecting my room card, to get my fix before tracking down my favourite places once I have recovered from the journey.
