Forget German sausages and American barbeque – Singapore’s a foodie paradise with delicious local dishes that pair so well with the company of good friends and a refreshing brew (or two). Here are 10 tasty reasons why Singaporean food is 100% better with beer.

1. Carrot cake

This pairing should come with a warning. Give yourself an hour with the two, and you'll find you've gorged on about a pound of meat jerky, and one too many cans of beer.

3. Chilli crab

That can of beer won't mind that you're grabbing it with saucy hands. It is a down-to-earth kinda drink after all. In fact, a slightly sweeter lager might even enhance the flavour of the crab, and help dial down the spice if you feel like you're burning up.

4. Kaya toast

A clean lager between skilfully forked-out bits of fish meat and coconut curry will cleanse the palette. You know that awesome feeling when you get your first taste of a great Assam curry? Relive it, again and again and again.

8. Bak chor mee

We love a good vinegar-rich bak chor mee (we're looking at you, Tai Hwa). We love it even more with a great lager.

9. Satay

Those peanuts and satay aromatics add flavour to a neutral lager. And if you’re doing the barbecuing yourself, sweating buckets next to those hot coals, you really have no other option.
