Where to go and feed yourself for supper or in the wee hours in the morning, when most restaurants and bars in Singapore are already sleeping
We love to eat. After a long night out drinking, partying or sadly, working in Singapore, sometimes, the only way to make everything feel better is to treat yourself with some serious grub. Well here you go, the ultimate list of late-night joints to hit up for supper in Singapore. Pssst… we covered all the corners of the island!
Central
Burger Joint
It’s only right to have supper at this cloak-and-dagger burger place on Amoy Alley. Delicious and greasy is how a great late-night burger should be and they absolutely nailed it. The menu is simple, just different variations of a classic burger with a thick juicy beef patty. Don’t worry, we also have a vegetarian option now in the form of a mushroom burger. Ask for no mayo and you’ve got yourself a vegan burger. Now everyone’s happy.

alittle tashi
Choose from a little Laundry Room Menu and a big Dining Room Menu, for interesting dishes like blood cockles with chilli, fish sauce, and crispy pork fat, charcoal baby squid, crispy pork belly and “ridiculously tender beef short ribs” (according to our Editor). Keep your mind open because these dishes might sound pretty regular on paper but the global flavours will surprise you.
