Refreshed after a decent night's sleep, we headed across the street from the hotel to the Maxwell Food Center to try out some of Singapore's famous hawker food. In Singapore, you can be confident that the food is good and safe. The stalls are all government rated from A - D. We made sure to frequent vendors with scores of B or better. We had our first taste of kopi, coffee prepared with sweetened condensed milk, to help fuel us for the day. Kopi is made by pouring hot water over a sort of net-like contraption that contains the coffee grinds. It's thick, sweet, and delicious. We noticed that a long line had formed outside a stall selling what looked like long and thin donuts. They were the perfect accompaniment to our kopi.
We also tried the "jet lag juice" formulation offered by one of the fruit vendors along with a blue jello-like sweet.
We rounded out breakfast with some bean and peanut pancakes -- this stall became my favorite go-to breakfast treat for our entire time in Singapore.
