Food is abundant. Especially in Singapore, it’s all around us. Turn left and you see food. Turn right and you see more food. Close your eyes and once you open them, voila, food.

But it’s the hustings. So if you fail to plan (for food), you are planning to fail.

It’s okay. We shall help you plan — where to eat!

You’ll also need to head home after the rally, and for that, we strongly advise against waiting for taxis or trying to get Uber or GrabCars, as they’ll very likely be few and far between. Public transport is the way to go.

Without further ado, for rally sites in the South (see our North, East and West editions too):

Holland-Bukit Timah GRC

Was super craving for a "wet" kind of salted egg yolk dish after seeing it on instagram all week ? Love this super gao and wet salted egg yolk pork ribs ( $ 12 ) from #twochefs at the sin ming branch. Slightly spicy from the chili padi but I think it lacks certain flavours from the curry leaves that was missing in action. Rushed down for this as they closed at 1030pm (last order was probably 1015pm, cause the waitress there magically vanished after that)

Right over there is City Square mall, but there are also a few kopitiams in the area, such as Li Yuan Food Court Kopitiam (next to Gap Year Hostel at 322 Lavender St), and Fu You Yuan Vegetarian Restaurant (310 Lavender St). If you’re really early, just hop over to the cafes in the Jalan Besar area a few streets down!

Rally location 2: Field opposite Blk 16 Jalan Tenteram

Makan locations: 

- Whampoa Makan Place Hawker Centre (90 Whampoa Dr) would be one of your better bets around the area – we hear Hoover’s Rojak there is a must-try!

Rally location 2: Sports field in front of MOE, 21 Evans Road
