More crepes please: new French creperie Le Comptoir opens, plus 3 of our favorites in town
We thank the French gods for this much-needed addition to Singapore's major lack of crepe options.
Value-for-money, hearty portions—what more could you ask for? Choose from a soft or hard shell and go for their spicy slow roasted pork in chipotle marinade (it's two for $7.90, and you can pick two different fillings).
It's hard to pick our fave here, but if we had to choose one, it'd be the taco de pescado ($11): snapper with achiote, red onion salsa and chipotle mayo. Not a fan of fish? Go for their chorizo and braised beef brisket taco ($10).
Want something a little different? Head to this Asian-Mexican eatery for tacos with a twist. We're fans of the tequila chicken ($12) and chicken tikka tacos ($12).
Have a drink or two while chowing down on their carnitas (crispy, slow-cooked pork) tacos ($7). Prices are nett—no service charge. Woohoo!
