Ban qi Dan feng cake
This is definitely a gift that everyone loves! I was so hungry at the airport that I bought a cake and made it in an instant. Every time a friend comes, I will recommend this cake! Whether it's an old lady in China in her seventies or eighties or a Qatari brother in her early twenties (this cake is halal), everyone gives a thumbs up without exception!
This kind of cake is green, because there is a local spice called Bandan, which smells delicious. The point is that it tastes so good that it explodes! Did I exaggerate? Just buy a piece and try it.
It is recommended to buy Bengawan Solo brand. Although the price is slightly higher (equivalent to RMB 70 yuan), the taste is guaranteed. After eating his bandan cake, I'm not going to eat another one You can try to buy a small piece first and buy a whole piece if you like.
It is sold in all the major shopping centers on the island and can be found on their home pages. If you bring it back to China, it is recommended to buy it at the airport because the shelf life is only 3 days ~
[Dried meat]
This is something I have to buy every time I wait for a plane to get hungry at the airport, and it is also on the list of handwritten letters in Singapore. The taste is also loved by everyone, oily but not greasy, and the sweetness is just right.
The more common brands are Meizhenxiang and Lin Zhiyuan.
Let's start with the hot Lin Zhiyuan. To tell the truth, I haven't eaten it, because every time I pass by, there are so many people that I don't want to wait in line for a few pieces of beef jerky. However, if you feel you have to buy it (for example, a female ticket threatens to break up if you don't buy it), you can wait for the store to open early.
The other is May Xiangzhen. I buy this every time and think it tastes good. The most traditional dried meat is dried meat, but sometimes I don't want to eat pork, so I buy his dried chicken.
These two brands have many branches all over the island. Both families have many flavors to choose from, original flavor, black pepper flavor, pepper flavor and barbecue flavor. You can choose vacuum packaging (long shelf life) or baking and selling now.
[pear pie]
Actually, this is pineapple cake, with stuffing outside. Very sweet and sour.
At the graduation ceremony, my mother came and bought two boxes for my colleagues. As a result, my dad said that I couldn't help taking a bite of a box on the plane, and it was all in my mother's stomach before I sent it out. This is the same gift I brought to my family when I just returned to China, because when I first arrived in Singapore, my teacher took us out to play and introduced this little thing, and I became addicted to it as soon as I ate it.
There is no specially recommended brand, and I feel that everything I have eaten is delicious. The packaging of the Mei family will be more beautiful, more decent and a little more expensive, about a box of 80 yuan. In the past, when the student party was poor, I found a shop with high cost performance near Wenli, which was delicious. Unfortunately, it's gone now.
[Shen]
When it comes to pear tart, I have to mention it. In fact, it is the floorboard of the new Malaysian dim sum, and its English name is Kueh. People here say "ghosts". Pear crisp is actually a glutinous rice cake.
There are many kinds of food that I haven't tasted. It's just bad luck. The feeling and taste I tasted were not a big surprise. But why put it in this recommendation?
Because it's beautiful!
I can't see Japan and fruit!
After all, it is the most important thing to express your mind with your own face value after the trip. These cute little things are also very popular. They are bought and distributed in the office, aren't they? And the strong Nanyang wind is very innovative! It tastes like ordinary glutinous rice. Not so good, but I can't step on the thunder.
They are usually sold in supermarkets. If you want a beautiful package, you can choose it from Bengawan Solo's shop.
[Sarah Instant Noodles]
This instant noodle is very spicy, isn't it? Top 10, once the best instant noodles in the world, was once sold out on Taobao.
I feel my conscience and say that this list is still very sincere. Because the only Sarah I can eat is this instant noodle. Other sarahs have to say that the taste is still too challenging. Come to Xiaopo and order a bowl of Sarah.
Please point out the brand of Yum! Chef. They are sold in supermarkets all over the island. 4 packages of contract RMB 50 yuan. The packaging is a bit shabby, you can't give it away, but you can share it with your girlfriends who don't dislike you. It is really a good thing worthy of friendship!
Note that this kind of instant noodles needs to be boiled, which is different from ordinary boiled water.
Various sauced steamed buns
When traveling by myself, besides postcards, my favorite gift is to go to the local supermarket to buy seasoning packets that can cook local specialties. First, it won't be too expensive, second, it has local characteristics, and third, it is convenient to carry and won't take up too much luggage space. Of course, the main reason is that I am a snack who is keen on improving cooking.
So what flavor packages are there in Xiaopo that are distinctive and not easy to fail? According to my many years' practice, the difficulty coefficient of bak Kut teh and Hainan chicken rice is the lowest. Of course, if you have confidence in your cooking, you can buy something else to try. Cooking a pot of Nanyang flavor at home is absolutely enough as a gift.
Sauce buns are sold in supermarkets all over the island. Except chef Yum! Other brands are also good. You can choose.
[Coconut sauce]
Coconut sauce is a special dessert material in Singapore and Malaysia. It is made of coconut milk, eggs, sugar and butter, and can be spread on bread like butter.
If you have eaten Yakun's coconut toast in Singapore and think it is very good, you can consider taking a bottle of coconut sauce home to enjoy it. Anyway, I can't extricate myself after eating it once. If high calories don't affect my weight loss, I really hope to have coffee and coconut toast for every breakfast.
The most recommended is Yakun's, a bottle of contract RMB 30 yuan.
[TWG tea]
Everyone knows that Singapore does not produce tea itself. Why do you recommend this kind of tea?
Yes, still because of beauty.
It's full. It was all forced out. Compared with the beautiful but embarrassing food before, TWG's food has no Singapore characteristics, but there is definitely a market. After all, people are also positioned as luxury tea brands, and there are also high-end and high-end afternoon tea shops in major shopping malls in Singapore, where you can have tea and snacks on the spot, which is a good place to shoot invoice circles.
That's too far. In fact, TWG is a local brand in Singapore. Moreover, there are many kinds of tea in their family, from Pu 'er tea in China to all kinds of tea with western flavor. If you are worried that the quality of tea is not as good as that of major producing areas, you can buy a tea set and send it to all places ~
Singapore commander wine
When it comes to Irish wine, everyone will think of Irish coffee. When it comes to Singapore wine, no one will know the Commander of Singapore.
This gin-based cocktail is the only one created by Asians among the top ten cocktails in the world. Dragon Bar, which originated in Lai Hotel, is called Singapore national wine. The original wine spectrum has been lost, and now the Singapore commander who goes to the Dragon Bar to drink is restored from his memory by the old bartender.
If you don't have a chance to taste it yourself at Raffles Hotel, you can go to the supermarket and buy a bottle to experience it. Nice packaging, too. You can give it to friends who love to drink.
The place of purchase is as follows. Cold storage is everywhere on the island, as are the three branches of Giant.
375ml contract RMB 250 yuan.
Note that alcoholic products in Singapore cannot be sold in public from 10 to 7: 00 the next morning, so you should avoid this time when buying alcohol.
[Milk coffee]
I don't like coffee very much, so I can't evaluate the taste of white coffee. It's just that my friends always ask me where to buy white coffee when they come, and according to the feedback from my friends later, white coffee is also an unlikely choice as a gift.
Accurately speaking, white coffee is a Malay specialty, but there is no separation between Singapore and Malaysia. Among the many specialties I recommend, there are not many pure Singapore specialties.
The most common brand of white coffee is Old Town.
All major supermarkets in Singapore sell them, and a large package of contracts is about RMB 30 yuan.
Non-food
[medicinal ointment]
This feeling should be a necessary gift. Although this is nothing new, I can still take it back to show my gratitude. If it works, according to the reaction of grandparents, it is still good.
Tiger brand has a good reputation, and it can't be wrong to buy it back. It's a classic white model, and now it's also available in red.
Watsons and Guardian are sold all over the island.
[Shoes and bags]
Push CK! Especially suitable for the student party! Every time I go shopping, my cousin will ask me if I have any new styles.
If you don't know little CK, you can search Baidu. this is a
Singapore
Local design brand, positioning similar to Zara, featuring shoes, bags and some trinkets, with high cost performance. Although it has entered the China market, it has to be said that the average price in Singapore is much lower than that in China. How low is it? If you go to the IMM discount store, 100-200 yuan can buy a pair of shoes, while the domestic price of the same paragraph is generally 300-400 yuan, which is simply the cabbage price suitable for the student party! And the style update will be faster than in China. Once, my cousin bought a bag at the IMM discount store in Little CK, and it took several months to find it in a cheap store after she got home.
Of course, in addition to Little CK, Singapore has other local brands, such as Pazzion and Pedro. With the increase of price, the quality has also improved. However, although these brands have not entered the domestic market, there are many brands with similar styles in China, so they are not particularly recommended.
It's not a specialty, but it's cost-effective
Avene spray
Two bottles of 300 ml are only RMB 150. Girls who often use this should know how much a bottle costs in China. Although I have a new favorite of Caudalia spray, I have to say that Yang Ya spray is really the mother of sensitive muscles.
Watsons and Guardian all over the island are at this price.
Moreover, Watsons/Guardian in Xiaopo likes to buy two for one from time to time, which is a good time to store masks. For the student party that doesn't have much spare money, if it happens to meet with sales promotion, we can consider hoarding some moisturizing masks of Morita cosmeceuticals, and the contract is about 10 RMB 50 yuan.
SK-II fairy water
After pushing the one suitable for the student party, push another one suitable for office workers.
One bottle of SK-II Fairy Water on Tmall 1370 yuan, two bottles in Singapore 1830 yuan. Not the feeling of crying. Now there is a super beautiful limited edition of cherry blossoms.
However, such a good price is only available in duty-free shops at Changi Airport.
Moreover, Changi Airport not only has fairy water, but also many big-name skin care products. Buying two bottles often has special preferential prices. For example, this time, I went back and brought my mother a pair of golden bottles of clarins. Two 50ml bottles are only about 1 100 yuan, and the last 50ml bottle on Tmall is almost 1000 yuan.
In a word, Changi Airport Duty Free Shop is a good place to save money. It is suggested to check the price and do your homework in ishopchangi official website before taking off, and maybe you can save a sum of money for air tickets.
