Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine can be described as a wonderful amalgamation of food from most of Southeast Asia. The blending of cultures is evident in much of the dishes offered at eateries (like Hawker Centres) across Malaysia and Singapore. You'll find a wide range of famous dishes like Hainanese chicken rice, chili crab, curries, roti canai and fried noodles at many of these local Toronto restaurants. Many of these spots are hidden gems, so if you haven't had Malay Singaporean cuisine before, we are here to help.
Below is a list of some of the best Malaysian and Singaporean restaurants in Toronto.
