Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant might not have any Michelin Stars to its name, but its affordable variety of dim sum will leave you satisfied. The established dim sum spot draws crowds with interesting items like the frittered Fried Mee Sua Kueh and usual suspects such as the molten Custard Lava Bun.

There’s no better way to line your belly than with some comforting curries, especially after a night of partying.

At Big Street, they’ve done an impressive job of fusing local flavours into bold and Instagram-worthy dishes. Shiok is an understatement when it comes to dishes like the Salted Egg Prata Bomb, which comes with oozing salted egg yolk sauce. Alternatively, gather your friends for supper and share the indulgent Chili Crab In A Prata Bag.

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak is a well-known supper spot among university students. Despite the snaking queues, the variety and quality of ingredients more than make up for the wait. The sizzling hot chicken wings are crispy outside and tender within, while the otah, accented with coconut milk, is simple and delicious.

8. JB Ah Meng

Among the many supper spots in Geylang, JB Ah Meng ranks among my favourite. Its signature JB San Lou Bee Hoon is a plate of silky smooth and flavourful vermicelli, fried to perfection with charred bits all around. Similarly delightful are their White Pepper Crabs, cooked in a garlicky sauce and melding perfectly with the crustacean’s natural sweetness.

Seng Huat Coffee Shop is a one-stop shop for supper lovers, with options aplenty. Go for their umami-rich Bak Chor Mee, which ranks among the best in Singapore, and add extra braised mushrooms while you’re at it. If not, try the adorable Piggy Pork Chop Burger, which is extra satisfying with a cup of kopi.

10. Hai Di Lao

A supper list would be sorely incompletely without Hai Di Lao. The steamboat chain is known and loved for its mala (numbingly hot) soup base, and the best part is that you can customise how spicy you’d like it to be. Another must-try is the mildly spicy umami-filled Tomato Soup broth, which is perfect for dipping slices of pork belly.

Must-tries: Mala Soup Base, Tomato Soup Base, Korobuta Pork, Hand-made Shrimp Cakes

Outlets including its latest one at #03-09 Vivocity, 1 Harbourfront Walk; Opening hours: 10:30am–6am.
