Subject: Fw: Places to eat after 12am!
1) Adam Road Hawker Centre
a.. Famous for celebrity spotting. Try the roti prata and soup kambing. Teh tarik for drinks and you’ll be
awake the whole night. Open till around 3am
b.. Yes! Adam Road Hawker center is very much alive
and kicking. It also serves one of the best ROTI JOHN
in town! Also through the BBQ STINGRAY…you’ll simply
love the sambal chilli that goes along with it.
Furthermore, you can get a healthy LARGE glass of
FRUIT JUICE for only $1.50. I usually order from the
stall on the left. The CHENG TENG from the third stall
of the extreme right is also pretty good and you can
even custom order it with more of your favourite
ingredients and less of those you utterly detest! This
stall sells cheap and delicious CHICKEN RICE during
the day. Also check out the NASI GORENG PUTEH IKAN
BILLIS from the fifth stall (I think) starting from
the extreme left. Basically, this literally means Rice
Fried White (without the red dye) with Ikan Billis.
2) Balestiar Road
a.. For food after 12.one can often head down to
Balestiar Road.. There, prawn mee, Bak Kut Teh can be
found..and in not just one coffeeshop but a few
others..
b.. Bak Kut Teh: Balestier has an awesome selection..
3) Bedok North Avenue 4 (Fengshen) Food Centre
Highly recommended!!
“Must Try” for porridge lovers…”Chai Chee Porridge”
Stall,where you can choose and specify the amount of
the ingredients. The consistency of the porridge is
impeccable. Whilst there try the B.B.Q. stall and the
Fried Hokkien Mee stalls back to back to “Chai Chee
Porridge” and you”ll go back for more.
Then there is the juicy chunky and big sticks of Satay
from the stall in the middle of the row in front of
“Chai Chee Porridge”, facing the same direction. They
are not only utterly delicious but real
value-for-money.
Cannot find another satay stall elsewhere serving
satay with chunks of meat instead of the normal tiny
scraps of fat and meat clinging sheepishly to the
sticks.
4) Bedok North Road food center
Have you tried the meat ball noodles?? It’s got really
tasty soup, bouncy meat balls and is served with some
minced pork. I think it’s open all night but it’s
quite crowded from 11pm till about 1am when most
people have just come out from the 9 o’clock movies at
Bedok. There are two stalls selling meat ball noodles,
choose the one on the right as you are facing the
tall,
but you usually have to wait about 20 mins to half an
hour and you have to remind them of your order at
least once. If you want some entertainment, watch out
for people sitting in front of the fish ball noodles
seller. This old couple will scold whoever sitting in
front of their stall without ordering from them.
5) Bencoolen Street - 24 hr roti prata stall
==========================================
Meet those backpackers who travel for months and come
for the 50 cent(?) roti prata.
6) Bishan St 22, around Blk 284. Kopitiam
Opens till about 3am. Sells good kway chap, wan ton
mee (Hong Kong style)and mushroom mee (also very
good).
7) Boat Quay - Pasta Fresca(at Boat Quay)
It’as really not half bad - even if prices have gone
up, and the quality’s dropped slightly. And you have
to sit with dubious denizens of the dark. Seafood and
Mushroom pizza (half-and half, add chillies too!) hits
home at 4 in the morning….:)
8) Boon Lay
Well…I used to supp alot. There is this beef hor fun
at the only coffee shop which is open past 2am on the
ground floor of Boon Lay Shopping Centre. Although I’m
not sure if people still wants to eat beef with the
mad cow disease. But my friends and I have been
wondering out aloud how the hawker can cook the beef
until it’s so soft and yummy. Go try it!
9) Boulevard Hotel Cafe u can try boulevard hotel cafe
It operates 24 hrs
10) Brighton Crescent
Nasi Lemak at Brighton Crescent, which is in Serangoon
Gardens estate, but before the Serangoon Gardens
circus. Good nasi lemak with lots of dishes to choose
from, used to be at Tampines Way, opp Hougang
Oriental.
11) Bukit Gombak
There’s this 24-hour Teochew porridge store in a
coffee shop somewhere near Bt Gombak MRT station. It
is definitely open after 12 midnight. Around the place
is also my favorite hangout-where my friends go to
right after watching midnight movie. Also somewhere
near Bt Gombak MRT, near a McDonald’s, the coffeeshop
are famous for its Roti Prata and the car and the
motor cycles parked there are unbelievable, especially
on Fri and Sat nights.
12) Changi Airport Terminal II
There’s this great place at Changi Airport T-2 which
opens 24 hours. It’s got great stuff like Nasi Lemak
and quite a variety of local stuff like curry chicken
and the likes. The price is pretty fair and a great
hangout for hungry couples if you’re at the airport.
And ya know what’s best ? It’s airconditioned ! - Hah!
13) China Town
a.. the famous Mount Faber Nasi Lemak, formerly at
Prince Charles Lane serves up to 6 a.m. or later. It
is located I think it’s Sago Lane, just in front of
the Indian temple, behind the theatre and the
Chinatown Market. Driving access is from Maxell Road
or South Bridge Road.
b.. Coffee shop at the corner next to Chinatown Plaza?
- Fish porridge. Further down the street there’s
another 24 hr roti prata restaurant.

14) Chomp Chomp food center at Serangoon
Gardens “CHOMP CHOMP” meaning chomp as in eat!! my own
personal opinion of this place: an outdoor, often
crowded, night hawker centre. u can find a wide
variety of food there (ie. 2 stalls of fried carrot
cake, 3 stalls of dessert-ice kachang etc, fishball
stall, western food-chicken chop, satay stall, satay
bee hoon, chicken rice, fishball noodle, wantan mee,
porridge, grilled chicken wings, seafood - all of a
sudden, i could not remember the name of the fish
that is square?? ) that about covers much of it. am i
making u hungry?
See our Local page for more related info.
15) Circular Road
Here’s another great makan place …. SHAH ALAM. It’s
behind Boat Quay. Opp a pub named “BUZZ”. One of their
unlisted specialities is Vegetarian Murtabak, be sure
to ask for more potatoes. By the way, it depends on
luck to get the right chef to dish out the right
combination. While u r there, try the following
too….Nasi Goreng Puteh with Ikan Billis Beehoon
Goreng Puteh with Ikan Billis Mee Goreng (remember to
get yourself a cold drink) “Plaster” (Prata with a
whole egg)
16) Clementi Interchange
There’s a coffeeshop at one end of Clementi
Interchange which has MUCHO food to eat after 12.
There are teocheow Mui, wan ton mee, nasi lemak
stalls, a dim sum stall and, IMHO, the best chee
cheong fun this side of the island. Opens well after
the midnite. Many Patrons park in the interchange
itself but watch ur cars… spot checks though rare,
do occur and the car park behind is season parking
onli… so, park at ur own risk!!!!! (from someone
who’s been there.)
17) Clementi Road
a.. Freshly prepared Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leaf
available at around midnight. The 24 hour shop is
located along Clementi Rd beside the Kent Ridge Bus
Terminal, near NUS. A favourite for NUS hall affilates
and taxi drivers, night patrol policemen, etc.
b.. The Clementi Road Nasi Lemak place is called Fong
Seng Nasi Lemak. And it’s best to go there after 11pm
each night as they start serving small standard
packets of NASI LEMAK for only 90 cents…but you have
to go behind to the kitchen to ask for it…have that
with a stick of superbly fried SOTONG BALLS and ICE
MILO and you’re sure to rest a satisfied person for
the entire night!
18) Dunman Road Food Centre
Great place to catch Charsiew-Wanton Mee after 12!!!!
Can’t remember the name of the store, but there’s a
little guy with a hunch who serves the noodles to the
tables… be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes, as
there is usually a huge queue - specially after 1am!!
The wanton mee is “Siouk-City”!!! Chilli only hits you
when you’re halfway through the bowl - when you
finish, make sure you have a long cold drink close by
- otherwise “teroksion”!! Try it… you’ll like it -
guaranteed!!
19) East Coast Lagoon Hawker Centre
For those beach goers/lovers/moonlighters… check out
the Lagoon Hawker Center. It’s the largest hawker
center along East Coast Parkway. The CHAR SIEW NOODLES
there constantly has a que outside it’s stall and if
you don’t care about dying early from a heart attack,
try the OYSTER OMELET toooooo!
20) Frankel Avenue
Roti Prata at Frankel Avenue
21) Geylang
a.. From lorong 3 onwards. Lots of choices, prata,
muay, tim sum etc.
b.. Geylang Lorong 8/9 is a good bet for midnite makan
- I doubt if Mad Cow disease has had any effect on my
fav Beef Hor Fun Stall there (they whip up other stuff
as well) Or if U feel like having something lite,
there’s always the 24 hour Tau Huay (Beancurd) shop
just next door - ask for a side dish of the Tau Sar
flaky pastry - best eaten hot! Bon Apetit!
c.. 24hr you-tiao coffeeshop(Taiwan-brand dian xin) at
Geylang, don’t know lor what but it is directly
opposite a small little mosque, on the right side of
the road. Serves great carrot-shredded cake,shao bing,
dou hua. Good services from the dish-clearing aunties
too. The shop has been there for the past 10 years?
22) Havelock Road
a.. For Teochew mui lovers, i recommend that you check
out the store in Havelock Rd near Blk 22(i forgot the
name, but it has a yellow signboard). They even have a
picture of Andy Lau dining there. I think its open
throughout the night. The price is reasonable and they
serve great ‘lor’ pig intestines!
b.. Hi there! I have been to this one place at
midnight which is at Havelock Road. The very first
stall of the shops(can’t remember the shop’s name
though). They sell teochew porridge, a variety of
dishes and even duck meat. I can see alot of people
going there after midnight. The foods’ not bad, but
prices are a bit steep. Worth giving it a try, the
food is really quite good!!! There are also few shops
selling Bah Kut Teh, but i have not tried it yet.
c.. Editor’s note: Anyone who knows the name and
address of this mysterious Teochew muay stall, please
email me!
23) Henderson Hawker Centre
Yong Tau Fu Stall located opposite Henderson Sec
School. If you are looking for shiok, fresh and cheap
Yong Tau Fu, this stall is at the Henderon Market
Hawker Centre. Operates only from about 10pm to 1am.
You can’t miss the stall as it operates quite solitary
during this time of the night by the wet market.
24) Holland Village
Recently i found out that the Ipoh Hor Fan at Holland
Village (Lor. Liput, the non air-con coffee shop) open
till 3.00am in the morning on Friday, Saturday nite
and eve of public holiday. And they have introduced
new dishes like Assam Crayfish($5.50), Sharksfin
Noodle ($9 plus)and Sharksfin Rice (???). i ordered
the crayfish, my wife says it’s good,cos it’s sourness
is just right. So for those late night stalkers you
may want to give it a try.
25) Hyatt Hotel
The Hyatt Cafe is great for desserts especially the
goreng pisang with ice cream. Open 24hrs. The Asian
food is quite good. stay till 6am when they have the
buffet breakfast.
26) Jalan Bukit Merah
ABC market’s hawker centre along Jalan Bukit Merah
(near BM Safra)..the fried prawn mee is great. (opened
from evening till past midnite into small hours)
27) Jalan Kayu
a.. to all prata enthusiasts try the shop in jalan
kayu.. not the “famous” one… its the one a little
further down near some traffic lights and opp. A
junction leading to Jln Tari Piring (I think) Delights
include PAPER Prata - MUST TRY $1.00 TEH CHINNO -
cross btw tea and capucinno and special appearances by
Harley types. ALSO see the most interesting washroom
basin with NO TAP..
28) Lau Pa Sat
a.. “make-shift” Lau Pa Shat next to CITIBANK Shenton
Way (The original that shifted out to make way for the
Lau Pa Sat for Tourists - Porridge with peanuts drive
people crazy enough to eat and pack,and drive one way
20 km just for it. 24 hrs a day. Century eggs,
cuttlefish are optional extras. Who have not heard
about the famous Lau Pa Sat porridge. Ahah! Those who
have just do not really have time for the NET ! They
are eating!! And at the same place, for 24 hr also,
the toasted bread with kaya (egg and coconut jam)that
people queue and eat those bread long after and before
breakfast. Why ? Ahah ! The bread is toasted with
charcoal, the traditional way, not electric grills !!
Note: for those who don’t know, it’s called Transit
food center (see below).
b.. Then there’s the New Lau Pa Sat along Shenton Way.
Have only eaten there once but have found the ICE
KACHANG there to be rather good and reasonable too!
Have much more to try from there man!
