Food items

Bantam Chiffon Cake

This is definitely a chopped gift that everyone loves! Ever since I was starving at the airport and bought a random cake, I've been an instant fan. I recommend this cake every time my friends come over! Whether it's an old Chinese lady in her 70s or 80s, or a young Qatari brother in his early 20s (this cake is halal), everyone gives it a thumbs up without exception!

This cake is green because of a local spice called Bantam, which smells amazing and the point is that it tastes so good it explodes! Am I exaggerating? Just buy a slice and try it.

I recommend getting the Bengawan Solo brand. It's slightly more expensive (equivalent to about $70) but the flavor is guaranteed. After eating his Bengawan Cake, I have no intention to eat another one. You can buy a small piece to try first and buy a whole one if you like it.

It is available in all major shopping centers on the island and can be found on their homepage. If you're bringing it back home, it's recommended to buy it at the airport as the shelf life is only 3 days~

[Jerky]

This is something I buy every time I'm hungry while waiting for a flight at the airport, and it's also on the list of handwritten letters from New Singapore. The flavor is kind of loved by everyone, oily but not greasy, and just the right amount of sweetness.

The more common brands are Mei Zhen Xiang and Lin Zhi Yuan.

Let's start with the fiery Lin Zhi Yuan. To be honest, I've never had it because every time I pass by, it's so crowded that I don't even want to stand in line for a few pieces of beef jerky. However, if you feel compelled to buy it (like if your girlfriend threatens to break up with you if you don't buy it), you can wait for the store to open earlier.

The other one is Mei Zhen Xiang. I buy this one every time and think it tastes good. The most traditional jerky is pork jerky, but sometimes I don't want to eat pork, so I buy his jerky chicken.

Both brands have many outlets all over the island. Both have many flavors to choose from, original, black pepper, chili, and BBQ. You can choose between the vacuum-packed ones (which have a long shelf life) or the freshly grilled ones.

[Yellow Pear Tart]

This is actually Singapore pineapple pastry with filling on the outside. It's very sweet and sour.

During graduation, my mom came over and bought two boxes to bring to my coworkers. As a result, my dad said I took a bite out of a box on the plane and couldn't stop, so it all went into my mom's stomach before I gave it awayThis is the same gift I just returned to bring to my family, because when I first arrived in Singapore, the teacher took us out to play and introduced this little thing, and I got addicted to it as soon as I ate it.

No particular recommended brand, I feel that I have eaten are very tasty. Meizhen Xiangjia packaging will be more beautiful, more decent, slightly more expensive, about 80 yuan a box. Before when the student party was very poor, I found a very cost-effective store near Li Wen, the taste is very good. Too bad it's not there anymore.

[Shen]

When it comes to yellow pear tart, it has to be mentioned. In fact, it is the general name of the Malaysian new _ dim sum, the English name is Kueh. people here read "ghost". Pear tart is actually a kind of glutinous rice cake.

There are many kinds of food, I have never tasted. I've just been unlucky, and the ones I've tried didn't really surprise me with their sensations and flavors. But why put it in this recommendation?

Because it was so beautiful!

No sense of sight of Japan or fruit!

After all, it's all about expressing your feelings with your face after the trip. These cute little things are also popular to buy and distribute in the office, aren't they? And the strong southern flavor is very innovative! Tastes like regular sticky rice. Not great, but it won't step on thunder.

It's usually sold in supermarkets. If you want a nice packaging, you can choose it from Bengawan Solo's store.

[Sarah's Instant Noodles]

This instant noodle is spicy, isn't it? It was once in the Top 10 best instant noodles in the world and sold out on Taobao at one point.

I say with a clear conscience that this list is still very sincere. Because the only Sarah I can eat is this instant noodle. The other Sarahs have to say the flavor is still too challenging. If you don't believe me, come to Koipo and order a bowl of Sarah to try

Please recognize the Yum Yum Chef brand. It's available in supermarkets all over the island, and costs RMB 50 for a 4-pack contract. The packaging is a bit shabby, so you can't give it away, but you can share it with your girlfriends who don't mind you. It's really a good thing to be worthy of friendship!

Note that this instant noodle needs to be boiled, unlike the usual ones that you just use boiling water.

Various sauce packets

When self-guided tours, besides postcards, my favorite gift is to go to the local supermarket to buy seasoning packets that can cook local specialties. First, it is not too expensive, second, it has local specialties, and third, it is easy to carry and does not take up too much luggage space. Of course, the main reason is that I am a snacker who is keen to improve my cooking skills.

So what are the flavorful packets that are distinctive and not easily invalidated in Xiaopo? According to my years of practice, pork bone tea and Hainanese chicken rice have the lowest difficulty factor. Of course, if you are confident in your cooking skills, you can also buy something else to try together. Cooking a pot of Nanyang flavor at home is definitely enough sincerity for such a gift.

Sauce packets are sold in supermarkets islandwide. Besides Yum Chef, other brands are good too. You can choose.

[Coconut Sauce]

Coconut sauce is a special dessert ingredient in Singapore and Malaysia. It is made from coconut milk, eggs, sugar and butter and can be spread on bread like butter.

If you've had Yakun's Coconut Toast in Singapore and thought it was great, consider bringing a bottle of coconut butter back to continue enjoying it. I couldn't stop myself from eating it once anyway. If it wasn't for the high calories affecting my weight loss, I'd love to have a coffee coconut toast for every breakfast.

The most recommended is Yakun's, a bottle of which costs RMB 30.

[TWG Tea]

Everyone knows that Singapore itself does not produce tea, so why recommend this tea?

Yes, or because of the beauty.

It's already full. It's all forced out. Compared to the pretty but somewhat awkward food before, TWG's stuff is not as Singaporean but definitely marketable. After all, people are also positioned as a luxury tea brand, and there are also very high-end and upscale afternoon tea stores in major shopping malls in Singapore, where you can sip tea and eat snacks on-site, making it a great place to take pictures of the invoice circle.

That's too far in fact, TWG is a local brand in Singapore. And they have a wide variety of teas, from Chinese Pu'er to various Western flavors. If you are worried that the quality of the tea is not as good as the major origins, you can buy a set of tea sets and send them all over the place~

Singapore Sling Wine

When it comes to Irish wines, everyone thinks of Irish coffee. When it comes to Singapore wines, no one will know Singapore Sling.

This gin-based cocktail is the only one of the world's top 10 cocktails to be created by an Asian. The origins lie in the Dragon Bar at the Leh Hotel, known as Singapore's national drink. The original recipe has been lost, and the Singaporean Commander who now goes to the Dragon Bar to drink it has been restored from memory by an old bartender.

If you don't have the chance to taste it for yourself at the Leh Hotel, you can go to the supermarket and buy bottles to experience it. The packaging is also good, so you can give it to your friends who love to drink and taste.

The places to buy are as follows. There are coolers all over the island, as well as the three Jetty outlets.

RMB250 for a 375ml contract.

Note that alcohol products cannot be sold publicly in Singapore between 10.30pm and 7am the next day, so avoid buying alcohol at this time.

[Milk Coffee]

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I can't comment on the taste of white coffee. It's just that I'm always asked where to buy white coffee when friends come over, and it's an unlikely choice as a gift based on subsequent feedback from friends.

To be precise, white coffee is a Malay specialty, but there is no separation between Singapore and Malaysia. Among the many specialties I recommend, there aren't many pure Singaporean specialties

The most common brand of white coffee is Old Town.

It's available in all major supermarkets in Singapore, and contracts around RMB 30 for a large pack.

Non-food items

[Medicinal ointment]

This sensation should be a must-have human talent. It's nothing new, but it's still something I can take back as a little token of my appreciation. If it works, it's still good based on grandparents' reactions.

Tiger has a great reputation and you can't go wrong buying it back. It's the classic white model and now comes in red as well.

Watsons and Guardian are available island-wide.

[Shoes and Bags]

Push CK! It's especially good for students! Every time I go shopping, my cousin will ask me if there are any new models.

If you don't know small CK, you can Baidu it. This is a

Singapore

local design brand, positioning similar to Zara, focusing on shoes, bags and some small accessories, cost-effective. Although it has entered the Chinese market, it has to be said that the average price in Singapore is much lower than China. How low? If you go to IMM discount store, you can buy a pair of shoes for $100-200, while the same price in China is usually $300-400, which is simply a cabbage price suitable for student party! And the styles will be updated faster than in China. One time, my cousin bought a bag from a small CK's IMM discount store, and it took months to find this at an affordable store after she got home.

Of course, besides Little CK, there are other local brands in Singapore, such as Pazzion and Pedro, and as the prices go up, so does the quality. However, these brands have not entered the domestic market, but there are many domestic brands with similar styles, so they are not particularly recommended.

Not exactly a specialty product but a great bargain

Avène Spray

Two 300ml bottles are only RMB 150. Girls who use this regularly should know how much a bottle costs at home. Although I have a new favorite Caudalia spray, I have to say that Avène spray is really the mother of sensitive skin.

All over the island Watsons and Guardian are this price.

And Watsons/Cartier in Kobo likes to buy 2 get 1 free every now and then, so it's a good time to stock up on masks. For students who don't have a lot of spare cash, consider stocking up on some of Morita Yakusho's moisturizing masks, which cost around RMB50 for a contract of 10, if they happen to be on sale.

SK-II Shen Xian Shui

After pushing the one for students, here's another one for office workers.

SK-II Shen Xian Shui is $1,370 for one bottle on Tmall and around $1,830 for two bottles in Singapore. Not the crying kind of feeling. Now there's a super nice limited edition of Sakura.

But at such a good price it's only available at Changi Airport Duty Free.

And it's not just the Divine Water, Changi Airport has a lot of big-name skincare products, and there are often special deals when you buy two bottles. For example, this time, I went back to bring my mom a double gold bottle of Clarins. The two 50ml bottles were only about $1,100, and a 50ml bottle on Tmall was almost $1,000.

All in all, Changi Airport Duty Free is a great place to save money. It is recommended to check the prices on ishopchangi's official website before taking off, do your homework, and maybe even save money on a plane ticket.
