The 12 Best Food Blogs in Singapore Today

As a foodie and aspiring food blogger, I always look for recommendations from someone I consider a great food critic. After all, that person took the time, resources, and budget to ensure the food’s worthy of sampling for the rest of us.

There are a lot of them out there, but separating the chaff from the grain is something I’d gladly do for you. That said, here’s me paying it forward with my picks of the best food blogs in Singapore. 

1. Daniel Food Diary

The “Daniel” in DanielFoodDiary is Daniel Ang, a corporate lecturer by day and a foodie the rest of the time. Friends recommended his blog when he was still sporadically writing about personal food experiences but I only got to check it out now.

Today, his blog is a mishmash of local and international restaurant reviews, attracting nearly two million page views per month (add me to that number as I just bookmarked his site!). 

Of course, this also means the website tends to look too busy with updates. Still, I found his blog tone sincere and commanding at the same time with important info mentioned in each post.

With a focus on newly-opened restaurants, DanielFoodDiary doesn’t look like it will run out of food reviews any time soon. I’m glad because it’s brimming with food-related information under one digital roof!

“Never waste your calories on yucky food!” says the food influencers behind I Eat, I Shoot, I Post. I wholeheartedly agree, because what good is a food critic if they review mediocre food?

The husband and wife food blogger tandem are here to share everything they know and love about food. That includes restaurant reviews and trusted recipes they’ve tried themselves. 

However, some recipe posts are too wordy for my liking. I typically dislike scrolling through childhood nostalgia and other word salad before getting to the recipe ingredients and procedures.

What I do appreciate about this food blog is the quality of its original photography. The “shoot” part of the blog is on-point with crystal-clear images of squidgy sourdough bread, golden fresh roe, and steaming stews that just leap off the pages.

The food blogger behind Miss Tam Chiak isn’t actually named Tam Chiak (which is Hokkien for “greedy”). She’s Maureen Ow, and she’s had a lifelong fascination with everything culinary and who started this blog back in 2007.

Today, her blog traffic has over 1.2 million unique page views per month, thanks to her regular updates on everything from hawker food to fine dining. She also has a food photography and styling background which explains the great images on the blog.

I especially liked the unique listicle guides on Miss Tam Chiak. They feature everything from cheap eats near downtown MRTs to the best curry puff stalls in Singapore.

I did find scrolling through a bit of a pain with too many ads cluttering the pages. And while the menu tabs helped, the pages themselves could be more efficiently laid out.

Rachel Chua and a couple of friends are behind FoodGem. It’s a food blog through and through, from its simple layout to its no-nonsense presentation of recipes.

For instance, I looked up a recipe for steamed garlic prawns and was immediately rewarded with a list of ingredients, the prep and cook times, servings, and clear instructions along with flat lays of the process.

There are also lifestyle and travel features to showcase various cuisines from different destinations. The blog openly encourages sponsored content and ads, but at least the layout isn’t cluttered by too many adverts.

Currently, FoodGem doesn’t have an impressive following even with its straightforward food blogging and clear original images. Perhaps things could improve if the updates come more frequently.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/opatrons

Ordinariness is emphasised in practically everything that The Ordinary Patrons blog does. Its writer (or editorial team) is largely anonymous so there won’t be any food influencers to associate the reviews with.

I like this. It means I can look forward to more honest (even blunt) reviews that aren’t shilling on the establishments’ behalf. It also means there is a lot of useful information to get from each post, such as what to order and what to avoid.

The Ordinary Patrons website design is a bit jumbled, though. There’s a mix of what seems to be original watermarked photos with those from restaurants’ sites, which is kind of jarring.

But I appreciate the consistent updates and the Instagram posts, with images that are way better and more mouth-watering than on the site.

Brad Lau is the person behind LadyIronChef. Yes, you read that right – it’s a male foodie who also loves travelling and blogging about it.

With over 580,000 current followers on Instagram, LadyIronChef is one of the most popular and oft-mentioned food blogger in Singapore. It’s been around since 2007 and bears no signs of letting up as far as popularity goes.

I like how each review features lots of original images to help readers get a feel of the dining experience.

LadyIronChef appears to be a multi-identity blog now, with other writers contributing their reviews. But a visit to its Instagram page still yields lots of Brad Lau-related content, which is a bit puzzling.

Despite its generic-sounding name, Singapore Foodie has maintained a sizable following on both Instagram and Facebook. It may be because it’s run by a media company and not a single food blogger.

I still found the posts engaging with their friendly tone and lots of useful info (including the address and operating hours). And it helps that each post has plenty of clear photos that help with the narrative.

My only complaint is how cluttered-looking the site is especially on its home page. And so many ads compete with the original images that it becomes confusing to scroll through pages.

EatBook is made up of a couple of foodies to come up with genuine undercover food reviews. I appreciate this; it means getting authentic service and servings in contrast to what food influencers experience. 

It’s also a food recipe blog — it’s a must for the reviewers to know how to cook to give an educated opinion on the dishes. I find the recipe section quite useful, especially those meals that can be whipped up in a short time.

EatBook has a good photography team behind it, but it also uses images from the new restaurants and cafes it features. And while the pics are great, some tend to look too advertise-y and not like people are ready to scarf the meals down.

Veron Ang is woman behind Sparklette, which – as she describes – gives the “scoop on sights and eats in Singapore, Asia and beyond.” If you think that doesn’t sound too food blog-focused, I’m right there with you.

But I was pleased to be proven wrong when I clicked on Sparklette’s food and drink menu. As of this writing, it has a little under 500 articles, but they come with awesome original pictures and substantial listicles. 

I also like how simple the site is laid out and not crammed with ads. At the moment though, Sparklette is leaning more towards being a lifestyle blog than a food-related one.

Food pickiness is the main motivation behind Delishar, which was built by self-confessed picky eater Sharon Lim. She also calls herself a recipe blogger, which makes Delishar even more interesting to me.

I especially like that she focuses on healthy recipes, stating that she tries to avoid deep frying methods when she can. She also has plant-based meal ideas for those who want to avoid meat!

Her current following isn’t that big yet, but I think Delishar is worth a follow if only for its unique insights on food preparation and healthy eating. She also has some food reviews, but they’re mixed in with her other lifestyle blog features.

As someone with cravings any time of the day, I must confess to having a soft spot for this particular food blog. Derrick Tan’s SG Food on Foot is a testament to how great Singapore’s dining landscape is — even the ones in humble places.

The blog features food reviews of eateries found along MRT stations. Anyone who’s ever felt famished during a commute to or from work can appreciate this kind of content.

Every food item from every eatery is rated, whether it’s a main dish or a dessert. This method is a great feature on top of useful info like the address, operating hours, and directions for getting to the place.

The blog itself is simply laid out to the point of being stark. There are some ads on certain pages, but not to the point of cluttering them up.

I have to admit being initially taken aback by a food blog with the word “rubbish” (mentioned twice, at that!) in its title. I’m glad I was wrong to think it was a scathing commentary on certain eateries’ food hygiene.

There’s a lot being offered at Rubbish Eat Rubbish Grow, including restaurant reviews, recipes, and cooking advice. But it also bears travel and lifestyle features so you’ll need to patiently wade through them for some honest food reviews.

I found that looking through the blog’s Instagram and Facebook pages more convenient and easier to see new content. However, things seemed to have stopped since it was last updated in December 2022, which is puzzling.
