1. Bakso
These beef meatballs are a staple in Indonesian cuisine and are not to be missed. Often found in a tantalising soup brimming with fragrant spice, these meatballs are made with a mixture of ground beef and tapioca or corn flour, making for a smooth, homogenous texture.
You can find these meatballs at The Bakso Safirah, which operates stalls in bazaars across the island, from Tampines and Paya Lebar in the east to Jurong and Choa Chu Kang in the west.
