Win a Free Ticket to Singapore Takeout in New York City

Published on Thursday, September 15, 2011, by John Birdsall / Edit Post

Even in a place with as many restaurants as New York City, it’s not every day you can taste Singaporean food with a direct connection to the Malay Peninsula. That’s precisely what some New Yorkers will get this weekend when Singapore Takeout—a traveling food fest organized by Singapore Eats—sets up its mobile kitchen in Gansevoort Plaza, featuring Chef Malcolm Lee of Singapore’s Candlenut Kitchen and local talents (Ed Cotton of Plein Sud, Anthony Ricco of Spice Market, and more).

Sadly, the weekend’s seminars are all booked up, but CHOW has a last-minute hookup for free tickets. Just log in at CHOW.com and leave a comment on this post describing either your favorite dish from Singapore or the one you’re most eager to try—hawker fare, fancy restaurant food, whatever. The first 17 commenters score a place on the list. Ready? Go!

  • Chilli Crab, totally.

  • Chicken rice - it sounds so bland, but it's actually SO GOOD!

    Fish head curry - the head has some of the most tender meat! The red curry sauce filled with ladyfingers (okra) is delicious spooned over white rice.

    I would love to try Chili Crab and Rojak; it sounds strange but delicious!

  • First I'd start with some Chili crab, proceed with bak kut teh (pork rib soup), continue with a dish of Singapore noodles (OK, these are actually not a native dish), and finish with fried carrot cake. Yum!

  • love Char kway

  • I like the Hainan Chicken Rice.

  • Singapore noodle..lots of ingredients and variety..I can benchmark a good restaurant off this dish..many variables that need to be executed well for a good flavor..

  • Chilli crab made with fresh sweet crab... brings out all the savory and spicy flavors even more..mmmm good

  • Is anyone going to contact us about being on the list to go to the event?

  • Kaya toast and kopi-c!

  • Roti prata! I love anything bread/bread-like.

  • hokkien mee with a generous sprinkling of lard cubes, and sambal belacan with a squeeze of lime on the side is mandatory. it's enough to make you cry.

  • Gotta love Curry Laksa!

  • Singapore Chili Crab!

  • Chili crab!

  • It has to be the White Pepper Bak Kut Teh (Chinese Pork Bone Tea)!

  • I have tried and love Singapore noodles, stir fry noodles :) Would love to visit someday and try all the street eats!

  • Hainanese Chicken Rice is absolute perfection in my mind. It's one of those dishes that is so simple, that it is nearly impossible to master. I dream of that dish!
