Top 10 Best Restaurants in Singapore | Page 6 of 11

Best quiches in Singapore

When it comes to this savoury tart, there’s no concession for store-bought dough. Crusts (often a pâte brisée or flaky pie dough) should be handmade and preferably blind-baked to stay crisp enough to contain the slightly quivering custard within. Yet, its buttery richness should crumble and melt in your mouth. This is not the time for calorie-counting either – full-fat dairy makes for eggy fillings that are almost soufflé-like. Lastly, no matter the toppings, they should all be cooked separately to render their full flavour before they get tossed into the mix.

Best tacos in Singapore

Authentic Mexican tacos never come in crispy corn shells (that’s a sure sign of a butchered Tex-Mex variant). They’re always soft – made from corn or wheat flour – and piled high with seasoned meats, piquant salsa and flavour builders like onions and coriander. No wonder this street food is fast coming back into vogue.

Best mille-feuilles in Singapore

The mille-feuille has many names: vanilla slice, Napoleon or custard pastry. Its exact origins are a little hazy, but its form is almost always standard, comprising three layers of puff pastry (pâte feuilletée) alternating with two layers of pastry cream (crème pâtissière).

Best croquetas in Singapore

The Spaniard’s rendition of the French croquette, these fried poppers are a staple on tapas menus. Eat them hot – crisp breadcrumbed exteriors give way to molten centres of velvety smooth béchamel, the perfect foil to chunks of salty jamón, earthy setas and rich seafood. We’ve rounded up our top picks of the addictive starchy morsels.
