Street food is one of the highlights of a trip to Singapore and Smith Street one of the best places to enjoy it. Choose popiah (a cross between filled pancakes and spring rolls) or a heaped plate of delicious black-pepper crab from one of the stands (all voted for by local people), sit down at a communal bench, and enjoy free, live entertainment most nights.
