Set in a back alley in the heart of Geylang, this late night joint (open till 3am daily) draws the crowds with its signature JB San Lou Bee Hoon (from $7 for small). Despite its nondescript appearance, the bee hoon is expertly fried and flattened, resulting in a 'pancake' of silky soft vermicelli with perfectly charred bits — simple but so good! They also do mean Salted Egg Prawn Balls (from $20 for small), Fried Garlic Chilli Clams (from $16 for small) and White Pepper Crabs (market price) slicked in an unusual garlicky white pepper sauce that allows the natural sweetness of the crabs to shine through. Most of the small dishes are good to share between two or three.
Avg price: $25 per person
