The channel of a well-known Singapore food blog: new cafés and restaurants, hawker classics and old-school noodle spots, each with the neighbourhood and what to order.

What it is

DanielFoodDiary is the Telegram channel of the Singapore food blog danielfooddiary.com. The description promises the newest restaurant and café openings in Singapore, plus some travel recommendations. When we checked it had around 12,200 subscribers and was posting almost every day.

Each post has a photo, the name of the place and a long, descriptive subtitle — what kind of spot it is, where it is and what it's known for — followed by a link to the full review on the blog and hashtags for cuisine and neighbourhood.

Why we picked it

Singapore is one of the world's great food cities, and this channel shows how varied it is. Over a few days the feed included a Seoul-style café with shio pan in Henderson, a Busan-born Korean restaurant serving hot-stone sharing dishes, Hokkaido-style soup curry in Bugis, and an under-the-radar prawn noodle place in Toa Payoh with bowls from $6.50.

We like that the subtitles answer the important questions straight away: where, what to order and roughly what it costs. Neighbourhood hashtags such as #DFDToaPayoh make it easy to find food near wherever you're staying.

Where to start

  • Heading to Singapore? Search the hashtag for the neighbourhood you'll be in.
  • Scroll for the hawker and old-school spots — they're the most Singaporean part of the feed.
  • Open the full blog review when a place looks good; that's where the dish photos and details are.
  • Save a few cafés in Telegram for your trip.

Who it's for

Travellers planning a trip to Singapore, people who live there, and anyone who enjoys reading about food and picturing where they'd have lunch.
