Supper Spots

Kway chap from block 284 at Bishan always hits the spot! Each ingredient is super tasty, especially the braised pork belly which is so tender and always melts in your mouth! Perpetually always having a long queue even in the wee hours of the night.

The porridge wasn’t too mushy, and went wonderfully well with the sauce from frog legs. The frog leg meat was cooked just right, very smooth and silky. The spicy variant comes with chilli padi which gives the dish a nice kick. The portion would be just right for 2-3 people, depending on your appetite. Great for a cold rainy day like today!

Always a safe option that can never go wrong. There's nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of porridge served with small plates of food Teochew style. The prawn-paste chicken was not bad, although it was probably sitting there for a while as it was a tad cold and not that crispy. Their omelette was good, soft, and still warm. For this many dishes and 3 bowls of porridge, it cost us $15 which is so much more affordable than all the cafe food. This was at the branch at Tanjong Katong, although there's another at Upper Serangoon Road as well. Perfect for supper!

Surprisingly it was pretty good! Despite all the recent reviews about how quality has dropped etc etc, I thought that the dim sum was really not too bad. The fried mee sua cake was quite unique, and different from your har gao siew mai staples that we are all used to. It was a little too heavy though, as it was literally like fried carrot cake but mee sua instead. The hor fun was one of the better ones. It wasn't too salty, and the sauce was really eggy. Their liu sha bao had a nice custard, not too runny or oily.

Although the fact that this stall only opens at 3am would turn most people away, it's definitely worth the trip. Simple, yet hearty fare, this will satisfy all the late night hunger pangs you might have. The omelette was particularly good, and it was soft and cooked just right. I really liked the prawns as well which were fried perfectly, and so crispy. The best thing however, had to be the fried pork skin. Yes, super sinful, and probably very unhealthy, but also really irresistible. The fried, red pieces of pork skin alone are enough to make me wanna go down at that unearthly hour. Incredibly crunchy, you cannot stop popping them into your mouth. For that amount of food, five plates of rice, and 5 cans of drink, it only cost $23. Will be coming back!

Being one of Singapore's most well-known dishes, it takes a lot to stand out but Ponggol Nasi Lemak hits all the right spots. The chicken drumsticks are freshly fried and crispy, making for a sinful indulgence. The chilli complements the dishes well, and has just enough kick without overpowering the dish. However, the fried egg stole the show; what is seemingly a simple sunny side up is actually still runny and soft in the centre, including part of the egg white. Eating the rice with the runny egg is simply heavenly. However, choosing around 4-5 dishes (including vegetables) could jack the price up to $7 or more, depending on what you order. The quality of the food, plus the fact that it opens till late (which makes it a good supper place) barely justifies its exorbitant price for nasi lemak. I would recommend trying it as it makes for good comfort food in the middle of the night, but the high price is a turn off.

Although many have said that the standard has dropped, I felt that the noodles were pretty decent. The large spoonful of chilli really helped add a lot of spice and flavour to the noodles, which were cooked just right. My main gripe was that quite a bit of oil was used for the noodles, so towards the end the noodles were sitting in a small puddle of oil. The prawn rolls were crispy, although the filling was more yam than prawn. The good thing is that it's 24 hours so you can get your wanton mee fix at any time of the day.

This is good to satisfy any late night hunger pangs you have. Located along Upper Serangoon Road, this place opens only throughout the night which is perfect for those prowling for supper options. There is quite a wide array of dishes. The prawn paste chicken was surprisingly good. It wasn't dripping with oil, and was super crispy and well-marinated. Thankfully it wasn't too salty from the prawn paste as well. The fried egg was also another pleasant surprise. It was probably deep fried or something, which lead to it having a slightly more springy and chewy consistency. The pork chop was a little dry for my liking, so I would give it a miss. Bean sprouts were fresh, and not soggy, and the potatoes cooked in dark sauce were also tasty. At $27 for 5 of us (and we were stuffed) I would say this was pretty worth it.

This never disappoints. The soup is what makes this dish so addictive. Super tasty and flavourful, it always leaves you wanting more. I really like how they put large chunks of fried garlic and lard in the soup which really boosts the flavour. Always a popular supper option!

Not only does is this place open 24 hours, it offers an extremely wide variety of dim sum at pretty reasonable prices. The carrot cake was served in tiny squares, each fried to perfection. It was crispy on the outside, but soft with an almost creamy texture inside. I liked their century egg porridge because they gave quite huge chunks of century egg, although it was a bit tasteless on its own. The prawns used in the har gao and fried wanton were fresh, although the har gao was sticking a little bit to each other and the steamer. The chee chong fun was unlike the usual served in a light, watery soy sauce. A thick, oyster sauce-like gravy was poured over the rolls which was not too salty, and provided nice flavour to the otherwise plain chee chong fun. All in all, I would say this is one of the better dim sum eateries around. Would definitely go back to explore more of their extensive menu!

The dough was light and crispy, yet still fluffy on the inside. Although this one was slightly burnt on one side, it was still pretty good. The chicken and cheese filling was quite generous, although it was mostly consolidated in the centre. It's a pet peeve of mine when parts of the murtabak have A LOT of filling, while others are basically just prata dough. All in all, not too bad, but not mind blowing either.

This has got to be one of the BEST PRATA EVER. The prata itself was light, fluffy, and not too oily. It was very crispy with a slight buttery taste. The cheese used tasted really legit unlike most other prata places that use the cheesedale kind. I really like how the non-plain pratas come in the large, rectangular shapes that is slightly thinner which makes it all the more crispier. Overall, delicious and hugely satisfying. Definitely should be your go-to prata place.
