Yes Jalan Mata Ayer used to be 24 hours until some residents
complained, I think they have been forced to close by 10 pm but are
appealing. They have some Malay stalls thats erve hot food,
normally Nasi padang at night are all recycled but this 1 was good.
Hope they still are open.
I seldom eat pork or chinese food, but the wanton mee at Syed
Alwi x Jln Besar is very good. Also the Yong Tau Fu at the same
location and some ppl like the chicken rice.
If before 1 am, a good place for Mee goreng is Beach Road Hawker
centre (Deen Tiga Rasa) Go often, and he gives a discount, the
advantage is that you remain in town. Another good Muslim food
place is at Lor 1 Geylang.
1 discovered that this place, Best Hawa Rest along Onan Road.
Like the Hawa restaurant they serve chicken rice, but they have all
sorts of dishes and are not stingy with ingredients, price a bit
more around $4.50 but there cooks are Thai/Kelantanese so it tastes
nice.
Bedok Hawker centre has 1 halal stall selling Char Kway teow,
carrot cake Or luak, so far the best 1 around, tastes exactly like
the original Chinese 1 minus the lard. But must go before 9pm. Also
don't forget to try Andrew's Cheng Teng.
West Coast Hawker centre has some good stall as does the one at
Bedok North St 2.
Opposite the famous scissors rice at Jalan Besar is a stall
selling Chinese Mutton Soup, previously from Farrer Park.
For Roti prata and nasi Briyani around Sengkang area, go to
Thasevi at Jalan Kayu. It's the original but expensive ($7
briyani). They use fresh meat not frozen, that's why the price.
For authentic Indian curry, go to Barakath at Hastings Road, but
they close around 9 plus. Every saturday they sell salted fish
curry with beans, sells out pretty fast. A bit more expensive their
standard rice meal $5-6, but worth it.
Serangoon Gardens Hawker Centre has a lot of good stalls too,
the Prawn mee and Wanton mee isn't bad. They also got fish
soup.
Finally, you can't go wrong witht he Old Airport Hawker Centre,
a lot of stalls, my favourite western food stall is there - London
Grill, he's been around nearly 20 years, so that's a testament to
his quality, I suppose.
