Supper

Ng Kuan occupies the spot where the legendary Simon Road Hokkien Mee used to be. This corner coffeeshop is located within the Kovan supper belt (Punggol Nasi Lemak and Qi Wei Chicken Hotpot are nearby). A word of warning for any of you who would think that the Chilli 🌶 is the 甘香type. This stuff is really spicy! Mix sparingly if you are a 小辣person. The runny egg goes really well with the 拌面, lending it an almost carbonara-esque smoothness. Props to the peppery soup too. Great for supper as this place opens 24-7!

Emo Snacks（饿魔小吃）is having a 10% pickup offer this loose CB period (until end June 2021 I think). This mala chicken rice will burn a hole in your belly. 😭 there is no 小辣 option so be warned!!! Make sure to pick-up some bubble tea as well to douse the flames. Everything else here has a spiciness level, even their 卤肉饭! :)) awesome place if you are craving Taiwanese 小吃late at night.

It’s hard to find a wanton noodles supper place near the CBD area these days. Most people go to Jalan Besar for the 剪刀剪or Swee Choon Dim Sum. Add this place to your supper list! This is like Eng’s Wantan Mee- they have a super spicy squeeze bottle of house chilli that you should only sparingly apply to your noodles. Otherwise, the noodles are springy and lard-ed for a richer flavour. The 猪油渣is not self-service tho. My friends loved the soup as it has a dashi-esque flavour. Is there radish in there? PSA: This place currently on Burpple Beyond also so 1-for-1 wanton mee!

The stretch along Upper Serangoon where Mee Sek Kopitiam is located is the supper hub of Upper Serangoon/Hougang. There’s a 鸡煲(Chicken Hotpot) war going on between Qi Xiang and Qi Wei... End of the day the consumer wins lah. I always go to Qi Xiang because the Kopitiam (non-aircon) setting is more rustic and comfortable for supper hangs. For 3 pax the half-chicken should do. Best thing to top the pot with must be the Tau Kee. Soaks up the sauce. This is a 中辣 and is not spicy at all. Top the pot up with their homemade chilli please. Call to book in advance as the place is packed on weekends from 7:30-9:00pm.

The wings are always fresh because the constant stream of people in queue= high turnover. We all reach for that salty/greasy supper spoon now and then, and this place scratches that late night itch for deep fried poultry. Ask the NUS (Hall) students thronging the place at 9:30PM. They are deeply aware. I’m keeping tabs on this one. Will inflation raise the price per wing above $1.30/ piece? We shall see~
