Souvenirs / Gifts from Singapore
Looking for Souvenirs/Gifts to buy back for your family and friends overseas?
Besides the key chains, postcards that you can easily get at the tourists shops, here are some suggestions:
Ya Kun Kaya from Ya Kun Kaya Toast
Kaya is a type of egg and coconut jam that is spread on toasts. Ya Kun sells one of the best Kaya Toast in Singapore. Needless to say, the Kaya from Ya Kun is also yummy!
You can try the kaya toast from Toast Box too if you happen to see one.. and while you are there, try the Milo Dinosaur!
Bak Kwa or Barbequed Pork (肉干/肉乾)
Bak Kwa is a type of sweet barbequed pork, loved by many. There are many Bak Kwa chains such as Bee Cheng Hiang (美珍香) and Fragrance (香味). Kim Hock Guan is Singapore's oldest vendor while Lim Chee Guan(林志源) is Singapore's most popular vendor. Honestly, I think the best Bak Kwa are from Lim Chee Guan. Lim Chee Guan has 3 outlets, 2 located in Chinatown, 1 located at ion Orchard. Bak Kwa is extremely popular during Chinese New Year and the price can go up to S$48/kg! If you don't believe, you can check out the newspaper article here!
Durian Puffs and other delicacies
If you do not dare to try durians, try the durian puffs from Goodwood Park Hotel instead! They sell the best durian puffs in Singapore! There are other favorites like Durian Crepe, Durian & Crunchy Hazelnut Tartlet, Durian Pudding etc. Here is the address: Goodwood Park Hotel, 22 Scotts Road.
Orchids
Orchids! Vanda Miss Joaquim, Singapore's national flower is also a type of Orchid. Singapore is one of the world's major exporter of orchid with 15% share of the world's market, according to the report by Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore here. Orchids make great gifts for your family and friends overseas. I do not of any shop that sells the best flowers, but my friend recommends FarEastFlora.
