Pop star Dua Lipa recommends Singapore food spots in her latest newsletter

In her latest e-mail newsletter sent out on Dec 12, which is also available on her lifestyle website service95.com, Lipa - who wrapped the Asian leg of her tour in Seoul on Dec 4 and 5 - shared her top eats in Singapore and raved about the flavours she is "still dreaming about".

Top of her list is the famed Maxwell Food Centre in Chinatown, home to beloved hawker dishes such as chicken rice.

The 29-year-old English-Albanian singer, who did not name specific stalls, said of the food she sampled there: "Simple, delicious and served with love."

In a Nov 6 Instagram post, Lipa and her friends could be seen enjoying Maxwell Food Centre offerings such as chicken rice, nasi lemak, Nonya kueh and tau huay from Lao Ban Soya Beancurd.
