While the idea of supper is frowned upon by the fitness community, especially those of you who are now embarking on your “new year, new me” journey, it’s unfortunately, something that’s inescapable, no matter how disciplined you try to be.
When you’re forced to stay up late either for work, or what not, late-night hunger pangs will strike inevitably, and that’s where we come in. Supper is a quintessential part of our diets (we’re not sorry) and as such, it’s our moral duty to always know where to go whenever we feel hungry at night.
The Eastern part of Singapore bustles with several late-night eateries, some well-known and some not so much. Whatever the case, you’re in luck because here, we have sussed 12 of the most highly raved night-time supper spots in the East.
Nestled within the folds of Bedok 85 Fengshan Centre, Chai Chee Pork Porridge offers a selective but enticing range of porridge dishes, with their speciality being the pork porridge. A standard-sized bowl (S$3.50) features a massive portion of velvety smooth pork porridge with a side of crispy dough fritters and generous amounts of pork meatballs and pork slices.

FEI FEI WANTON MEE
Located in Joo Chiat, many have claimed this shop to sell one of Singapore’s best wanton mee. While we’re on the fence on that, we must admit that their wanton mee is pretty decent. Their wanton mee is delicious as is, but if you’re the type who loves heat, then definitely go for their famous dry chilli version.

NEW MAHAMOODIYA RESTAURANT
A popular supper spot that is no stranger to anyone who lives in the East, this coffee shop dishes out anything and everything from the humble roti prata to butter chicken and naan.
Their coin prata is a must-try and besides being moulded and cooked fresh upon order, comes with savoury sambal—nope, not curry—that just makes the dish so much more enjoyable (and interesting)

PONGGOL NASI LEMAK
Perhaps one of the more reputable Chinese-owned nasi lemak stalls in Singapore, this humble brand now has 3 outlets islandwide with one being the East—along Tanjong Katong Road. We love that their rice is fragrant and how their chicken wings are crispy, succulent and flavourful every time.
Aside from the usual chicken wing, egg and ikan bilis, feel free to add on items such as prawn fritters, fried wontons and more!

A sizeable plate of Satay Bee Hoon from this humble stall in Bedok 85 Food Centre comes with a generous portion of bee hoon (rice vermicelli) and ingredients such as kang kong and cuttlefish, that upon serving, is topped with a copious amount of luscious satay gravy.
Every mouthful screams pure deliciousness followed by a sweet, nutty aroma that does well to balance out the subtle heat of the gravy. The best part? They’re open until 12am daily!

SPIZE (BEDOK)
A quintessential suburban supper place that defines late night dining, Spize is much loved—until recently at least—for their wide array of dishes ranging from Indian, Western to even Mediterranean food.
Rest assured that their Bedok branch serves good quality grub devoid of salmonella and the likes—believe us, we recently paid a visit there and are still very much alive and well.

People often debate over whether theirs or their neighbour’s bak chor mee is better, but frankly both are just as good. Serving theirs in soup, a humble bowl sees a generous portion of thin egg noodles, flavoured minced pork and meatballs that are both bouncy and possess a strong hint of dried fish.
