Local flavours, with an unexpected twist.

For the uninitiated, the term ‘mod-Sin’ might sound a little intimidating. But don’t worry, this isn’t some new neoclassical art form that has recently hit the streets. Instead, it hits closer to home, standing for modern Singapore. This means a reinvention and re-imagination of our traditional tastes (exemplary as it is), to bring them to another level. Mod-Sin isn’t meant to be necessarily a high-class way of enjoying Singaporean food. Instead, it is meant to be a different take on the flavours we know and love oh-so-much.

So, no, you don’t necessarily need to know the lyrics to every National Day song (though it certainly wouldn’t hurt) to be considered patriotic. Check out these 10 eateries that are here to quench your hunger for quintessential Singaporean dishes, but never sticking just to their roots. Traditional meals are old-and-gold, but consider adding one (or all) of these places down your list of must-try-eateries that would definitely hit the spot. Bring your local friends, or bring tourists interested in a unique rendition of our cuisine. Either way, the meals here would definitely hit the spot. And, for a more comprehensive experience, you might even want to consider dressing up in our national shades for that additional touch!
