I have had Indian food once, and it did not go well with me, but I attribute that to the place I ate at. I also want to try Malaysian food (any must try's ?) as I have never tried Malay food.

What would you recommend ? I have 2 days there (so basically, 2 breakfast, 2 lunch, 2 dinner), so I want to make sure I get as much in as I can.
Where will you be staying while you are in Singapore?

I have tried Jumbo, no signboard, Seafood Paradise and find them to be of similar quality so you won't go wrong with these bigger players. I have found exceptional quality of chiili crabs and salted egg crabs in heartland coffee shops.

An example of good chilli crabs in coffee shops. http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapo...od_ang_mo_kio/

For #1breakfast, try fried carrot cake/ char kway teow

For #1Lunch, try Chicken Rice. My favourite chix rice place is actually 5 star hainanese chix rice rather than boon tong kee. One reason is that 5 star uses Kampong Chicken or aka free range chicken.

For #1Dinner, try Chili Crab.

For #2 Breakfast try, Bak Kut Teh/ Nasi Lemak

For #2 Lunch, try Katong Laksa?

For #3, try a Zi Char stall and wack some dishes to go with rice for dinner.
