And since there's a Cash Studio near this eatery, you can bust out some Mariah Carey tunes after you're done satisfying the late-night munchies.
Chong Qing Grilled Fish
Open till 2am
Sometimes all you need is some spicy fare at midnight - we're talking about Chong Qing grilled fish. Choose your preferred fish (golden snapper or marble goby) and pile on the side ingredients (crab sticks, enoki mushrooms and black fungus) to go with it. With over seven different flavours and spice levels, choose the highest spice level for a fiery hotpot and say goodbye to any sensation in your mouth. A typical order of a spicy fragrant fish with medium spice level comes peppered with peppercorns and fresh chillies, just a right amount of spice for you to sweat it out.
Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice
Open till 3am
Because calories don't count after 10pm, grab your hungry friends and dig into a massive plate of curry rice at this popular greasy hub. Located near the bustling street of Mustafa Centre, a plate of rice here is drenched in flavourful curry and served alongside crunchy cabbage and crispy pork chop. A beautiful, satisfying mess.
Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak
Open till 3.30am
If you're put off by the snaking queues that form at this famed nasi lemak stall, try popping by during odd hours of the night. Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak opens till 3.30am every day, so you still enjoy its power-packed plate (from $4) of fragrant coconut rice even when its past midnight. It comes with a dollop of its all-important sweet-spicy sambal, along with a wide variety of toppings – fried chicken, fish, otah, and more – you can choose from. Don't stay in the west? Try popping by one of its vending machines around town to snag instant versions of its nasi lemak.
Eminent Frog Porridge
Open till 4am
Head to Eminent Frog Porridge for an award-winning supper. It made it to the Michelin Bib Gourmand 2019 list, serving up piping hot bowls of frog legs till 4am daily. It's famous for the spicy kung pao version, cooked in dried chilli and soy sauce. But those who want something milder can opt for the version where chillies aresubstituted with ginger and spring onions.
The Dim Sum Place
Open till 2am on Fri & Sat
The Dim Sum Place is one of the few Halal-certified dim sum joints in town, and probably one of the rare spots you can enjoy a Halal xiao long bao. Drop by on Fridays and Saturdays – its operating hours extend till 2am, allowing you and your friends to enjoy everything from steamed dumplings to modern variants like deep-fried siew mai ($5.90).
Swee Choon
Open till 3am
Don't be surprised to find a queue well into the early hours for a seat at Swee Choon Tim Sum. This supper hot spot is a hit with the post-clubbing crowd and night owls that flock to the restaurant for its signature mee-suah kueh ($1/two), Portuguese egg tarts ($1.50/two) and custard-rich liu sha bao ($3.60/three).
The Ramen Stall
Open till 2am on Fri & Sat
Unlike its name, it serves more than just ramen. Chicken- ($11) and beef-based ramen ($12.90) are popular choices, but the restaurant also serves an equally enjoyable dry ramen ($11). The Ramen Stall's range of sushi also runs the gamut from prawn tempura rolls ($9.90) to soft shell crab maki ($17.90), but to really fill your belly, go for the teppanyaki beef ($16.90) or the kaisen don ($16.90).
Beauty in the Pot
Open till 3am
It's a no brainer – when you're drunk and hungry at 1am, some steamboat might do you good. Open till 3am (and 6am at the Centrepoint), Beauty in the Pot might help you get some late-night nourishment. Best part? After 10.30pm, diners enjoy a 20 percent discount on food ingredients for the broth. All-time favourite soup bases include the Beauty Collagen Broth and Spicy Nourishing Broth ($20 each) – and then add on premium ingredients like Kurobuta pork, assorted fresh fish, tofu, vegetables and more.
Seng Kee Black Chicken Herbal Soup
Open till 2am
It might be too hot to enjoy a piping bowl of soup during the day, but the coolness of the night makes it the perfect time to slurp up a bowl of Seng Kee's famous herbal mee sua ($5). Each bowl of nourishing soup comes swimming with vermicelli and slices of pork, kidney, and liver. Others make their way down for their herbal black chicken soups boiled with herbs like ginseng ($15) or cordyceps ($15). Not in the mood for soup? Seng Kee's rendition of the fried beehoon ($10) will give JB Ah Meng a run for its money.
Finest Songkee's Cuisine
Open till 1am
If you find the name familiar, this stall is actually set up by a relative of the original Song Kee Fishball Noodle owners. But things don't differ much. Its famous fishballs, meatballs, and fish dumplings are still made by hand, and served with noodles tossed with spoonfuls of homemade dried shrimp chilli paste.
Ponggol Nasi Lemak
Open till 12.30am
There's always a snaking queue at their outlet along Upper Serangoon Road during dinner time. But since it opens till 12.30am, heading down for supper allows you to skip the crowd and get your nasi lemak fix. Their selection is extensive, but must-haves include the fried chicken wing and otah, along with a heaping spoonful of sambal.
Yan Kee Noodle House
Open 24 hours
Public Service Announcement time: formerly located at BK Eating House on South Bridge Road, the famous noodle stall has moved to a stand-alone shop across the street amidst rental feud rumours. Standing firm, the OGs are serving up the real deal at their new 24-hour joint (take note that it's closed on Sundays). You can still get that bowl of handmade mee sua noodles with fishballs, meatballs and minced pork all doused in chilli, vinegar and soy sauce for $4. Complete the dish by asking for extra crispy lard bits to top it off.
East Coast Lagoon Food Village
Opens till late
At East Coast Lagoon Food Village, indulge in some of the tastiest local dishes by the beach, We're talking everything from sinful fried carrot cakes ($6) to charcoal-barbecued wings ($1.30 a piece). A couple of must-tries include Stingray Forever BBQ Seafood's sambal stingray ($12/15/20), Haron Satay 55's selection of chicken, beef and mutton satay ($0.70 per stick), Choon Hiang's Hokkien mee ($4/5/8), and Song Kee Fried Oyster's orh luak ($5/8/10).
Rochor Original Beancurd
Open till 12.30am on Fri & Sat
Whether it's to satisfy your midnight sweet tooth, or to finish off a savoury supper, stop by Rochor Original Beancurd for tauhuay and chin chow – or a mix of the two if that's how you like it. Closing at 12.30am, you'll be able to enjoy a couple of fried fritters best dunked in soymilk well into the night.
Srisun Express
Open 24 hours
On late nights or early mornings when you crave prata, make a dash to Srisun Express. Open all day, every day, this bustling restaurant serves South and North Indian comfort food, as well as some Malaysian, western, and local dishes. Despite this wide diversity of food, nothing beats a plate of good ol' prata (maybe even with egg or cheese) with its extensive range of curries. To top it off, get a tall milo tower to share with your other supper-hungry friends.
JB Ah Meng
Open till 2.15am
JB Ah Meng's new digs might be cleaner, brighter and bigger, but it hasn't lost its shiok appeal just because you can't dine on the road anymore. The crowds keep coming back for unbeatable zi char dishes like san lou bee hoon ($7-$14), the pancake-resembling seafood noodle dish that's the joint's star, and wok-tossed clams ($16) with copious amounts of garlic. The joint also does a killer rendition of white pepper crab (from $24) that's only mildly spicy, which allows for the natural sweetness of the crustacean to shine.
Al-Azhar
Open 24 hours
The stretch of eateries across from Beauty World Centre is no stranger to tummies starving in the middle of the night. Most places like Joo Seng Teochew Porridge and G7 Sinma Claypot stay open past midnight but Al-Azhar has your back 24/7. The calorie-laden prata and butter chicken set ($7.90) is our pick after a night of drinking.
126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi
Open 24 hours
We all know Swee Choon is the go-to for late-night dim sum but 126 Dim Sum has an edge over its biggest competitor 'cos of its round-the-clock operating hours. It peddles more than a 100 different types of dim sum, running from staples like siew mai and har gao to more interesting bites such as braised duck wings and pork belly yam rolls.
Fei Fei Wanton Noodle
Open till 2am
No matter the time of day, you're sure to find a crowd gathering at Fei Fei Wanton Mee for a good 'ol bowl of char siew noodles. A $4 bowl comes loaded with roasted pork and vegetables but nothing beats the homemade fried wontons that retain their crunch despite being mixed with a copious amount of chilli sauce.
Joo Seng Teochew Porridge
Opens till 4am
Forget that dim sum joint along Jalan Besar. For a comforting Chinese feast in the wee hours, nothing beats a steaming bowl of porridge and a fleet of humble yet hearty dishes. That a meal for two will only clock in at about $20 makes a trip to this supper haunt even better.
Joo Seng's star dish, besides the porridge, of course, is the braised duck leg. It's fall-off-the-bone tender and swimming in a savoury-sweet soya sauce base. The minced pork with black bean, another Teochew porridge staple, is flawless here, too. But whatever you do, it's obligatory to request for an additional bowl of dark zhup – you'll be liberally ladling that into your bowl, trust us.
