My mother is in town from Australia and she's been saying she wants a really hearty meal local to Singapore. She's all about trying new cuisines, but her American son has failed her and tried nothing but Western and fast food from here. Where can I take her for dinner, so both she and I can try great Singaporean food for the first time? Would love it if the recommendations are limited to Bukit Batok area!

Any particular likes or dislikes? E.g. spicy food, vegetarian etc.

Reason being when my partner’s parents from the UK came to visit, despite bringing them to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre which IMO is one of the best hawker centres in Singapore, his mum went to get a grilled salmon from a western food stall. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Hence, I think dish recommendations and where you can get them might be more helpful rather than specific place recommendations!

Bukit Batok West Hawker Centre is hands down my favorite place. They have amazing chicken options and classic comfort foods. If you want great Laksa you should hit up Bukit Batok Village Eating House.

singapore is small. go to Serangoon Gardens Hawker centre, East Coast Hawker, Hong Lim Chinatown market, Tekka Market for some unique cultural vibes. i wouldn't suggest marina bay area or Orchard for first timers. Those are only good for marketing but the real food is in heartlands and some niche markets above.feel free to do your own research.cheers
