We’ve all been there. It’s late, the clock’s ticking, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t sleep. Or maybe it’s another night of burning the midnight oil, latent stress of deadlines impeding your rest. Or perhaps you’re just a night owl, preferring to expand your energy when the moon is high in the sky. Whatever the reason, past a certain hour, after the remnants of your dinner has long evaporated, hunger pangs start once more, rendering ineffective whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish.

The next time this happens, instead of subsisting on yet another packet of chips, grab your keys and wallet, and head down to one of these Muslim-friendly late-night establishments. Better yet, call a few of your fellow insomniacs for a late-night food hunting session – after all, food always tastes better when enjoyed with others right?

Featuring everything from dim sum to full-fledged zi char restaurants – yes, there is more to Muslim-friendly late-night snacking in Singapore than your usual prata options – here is a list of 15 places that offer midnight makan menus suitable for our Muslim friends. Because when living in a food haven like Singapore, you should never have to go hungry regardless of the hour!

AL-AMEEN EATING CORNER [HALAL]

The north of Singapore isn’t exactly known for having a generous spread of food places to dine at, and this problem is compounded when you consider options available long after dark. Thankfully, Al-Ameen is here to provide late-night sustenance with their flavourful array of Indian food.

Even during the later hours, instead of settling for a premade prata, feel free to request for a fresh one to be made for you instead. For a light yet addictive snack, dip their coin pratas in your choice of curry for an easy-to-pop treat!

AL-AZHAR EATING RESTAURANT [HALAL]

Synonymous with late-night goers for supper fare, Al-Azhar’s hearty Indian-Muslim food is very much welcomed after a long night of activities. Boasting an extensive menu that includes everything from traditional Indian dishes to Thai seafood, there’s always a freshly cooked meal waiting for you regardless of the hour at Al-Azhar.

If you head to their refurbished Bukit Timah outlet, you can enjoy Italian and Mediterranean cuisine items on top of their usual selection. Be warned – the restaurant starts to fill up quickly once the sun begins to set!

BOON LAY POWER NASI LEMAK [MUSLIM-OWNED]

Far in the West corner of Singapore is Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak (BLPNL), a long-time supper favourite for those living in the vicinity. Contrary to your usual stalls, this stall’s queue mainly picks up after 10pm, when throngs of tired students and office workers start to congregate.

The longevity of this brand isn’t just from its monopoly of the West side’s supper crowd. So prominent is its nasi lemak’s reputation – their chicken wings are fried to golden perfection – that it is one of the only places in Singapore where you can request for islandwide delivery with no minimum order!

ENAK ENAK HONGKONG TEA HOUSE [HALAL]

Feeling peckish past midnight and want some bite-sized items instead of an overly heavy meal? If you’re tired of settling for heavy and oily options, pop by food haven, Simpang Bedok, to satiate your hunger with some Halal-certified dim sum!

A rare sight to behold considering how most teahouses stop serving dim sum before dinner, Enak Enak thrives off the thick throngs of insomniacs that frequent its establishment. To help narrow down their offerings for when you next covet these morsels, start off with their Har Kow and Pan Fried Carrot Cake.

Many dishes make up the foundation of Singapore’s delicious fare, however, many of the non-Malay cuisine items are inaccessible to our Muslim friends due to dietary restrictions. Wanting to fill this gap, Encik Tan offers a mixture of local Chinese favourites under its Halal-certified brand.

Craving Muslim-friendly fishball noodles as a post-OT supplement? Longing for the heartiness of wanton noodles to perk you up during a long night? Now every single Singaporean can enjoy the full extent of our local food collective, and at all hours of the day!

KAMPUNG GLAM CAFÉ [MUSLIM-OWNED]

Located just off Arab Street under the splendour of the area’s Sultan Mosque, Kampung Glam Café is a decently-sized café popular with the area’s residents and tourists alike. Typically crowded during meal times, you can find many tables enjoying their hefty plates of Nasi Lemak and dipping Roti Kirai into vibrant curries.

Night owls can enjoy authentic Kampung fare with a side of people-watching whilst seated by the bustling late-night crowd that populate the picturesque Bussorah Street.

MAK’S PLACE – THE HAWKERANT [MUSLIM-OWNED]

While zi char stalls are aplenty in Singapore, finding one that is Muslim-friendly is a more difficult task. Add on the criterion of staying open past midnight and you’ll be really squeezed for choices. However, you live in the East, there’s one such option at your doorstep, Mak’s Place.

Standing out not only with its diverse menu of Chinese-Muslim dishes but also its scrumptious fare – the Butter Sotong is a must-try – Mak’s Place is a wonderful location for when you’re looking for something more substantial a tad after traditional closing hours. Fair notice: while the food is usually worth the wait, expect a slow service on most days.

Fantastic for night-owls in bigger groups, the extensive fare is bound to satisfy even your fussiest member while keeping prices economical for all.

If zi char is too heavy a supper option, why not try some of their bestselling single-dish mains such as the enticingly aromatic Halal chicken rice or the burnished crisp of a protein penyet of your choice? Don’t forget to round off your meal with a helping of putu piring of Haig Road’s fame!

R.K. EATING HOUSE [MUSLIM-OWNED]

For the ultimate late-night prata experience, look no further than R.K. Eating House. Sure, prata houses are a dime in a dozen, but what makes R.K. a notable exception is simple: abundant (really abundant) food at seriously affordable prices.

Most renowned for their tissue prata, for just S$5.50, you will be met with a magnificent towering behemoth drizzled in your choice of sauce or syrup. And yes, it tastes just as good as its more conservatively-sized counterparts. If that isn’t enough of a challenge, wash it down with an equally colossal 5-litre milo or teh tarik tower.

SPIZE [HALAL]

If you head over to Simpang Bedok, a stretch famed for late-night Muslim-friendly food options, there’s a good chance that most of the crowd there is converged around Spize. With a menu as comprehensive as theirs – Thai food? Check. Indian food? Check. Mediterranean food? That’s a check too. – it’s no wonder Spize is a magnet for supper food hunters!

Besides the usual prata options, Spize things up a little by trying their Mediterranean – the hummus is a surprisingly enjoyable number – and Thai fare. Alternatively, go for the perky Spize Burger, a favourite among the younger crowd for its easy-to-chow build and toothsome finish.

SRI SUN EXPRESS [HALAL]

A quintessential supper food item, pratas are many of our choice of comfort food during the late hours of the night. Sri Sun Express knows that, and has spent the decades refining its prata menu to include a staggering 54 unique prata flavours!

Instead of settling for traditional flavours like egg and cheese, why not reinvigorate your faltering energy with their signature Sugar Rush Prata instead? For those in a big group (or looking for a challenge), liven up the table by ordering their jumbo three-litre tall drink tower to round off the night.

TANG TEA HOUSE [HALAL]

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. There is another Muslim-friendly, late-night dim sum spot! Located mainly in the East as well, Tang Tea House is helmed by a kitchen team of Shanghainese chefs who have spent multiple years refining the art of dim sum making.

Be it dim sum staples such as siew mai, golden sand buns, or your favourite paus, at Tang, you can look forward to quality dim sum items easily comparable to any other respected establishment. Complement these goodies with popular zi char mains – we’re looking at the delectable Beef Hor Fun – for a fulfilling supper meal experience that’s both easy on your stomach as it is on your wallet.

YASSIN KAMPUNG SEAFOOD [HALAL]

True to its moniker, the brand specialises in old-school dishes, moderated for the modern palate by galvanising old combinations with contemporary ingredients. Traditionalists can look towards classics like the 3-Flavoured Fish and Chilli Crab, while those looking for more unique options can try the intriguing durian chicken and their striking ma la offerings.

Red Holic is where lovers of Korean food can settle in for some of the tastiest tteokbokki around. Helmed by the same folks behind Super Star K, this cosy joint boasts a myriad of home-style Korean stews, dumplings and other tasty delights that go well with beer or soju.

Red Holic specialises in comforting Korean food in the likes of classic tteokbokki, ramyeon and Korean street snacks. While their menu is pretty selective, this Korean eatery does make for a nice pit stop for a quick snack on the go or for your friends and yourself to retire to over drinks after a hard day’s work.

Kick start your meal with one of Red Holic’s Giant Mandus (Korean dumplings). Red Holic serves a selective variety of this classic Korean street snack at a relatively affordable price per piece.

We opted for the Giant Kimchi Mandu (S$1.80++ per piece) and each piece came steaming hot and stuffed with generous amounts of kimchi, minced pork and glass noodles.

While the variety of textures, flavours and tongue-tingling heat surprised us in some way, we would have much preferred if it was less dry.

If you are tired of drooling over the Jjajangmyeon you often see in Korean dramas, hop over to Red Holic and order up a portion of Jjajang Tteokbokki that will satisfy any of such cravings.

The Crispy Chicken Jjajang Tteokbokki (S$27.80++) comes with Korean ramyeon noodles, quail eggs, 2 pieces of fried mandu, tteokbokki and pieces of diced up chicken thighs that are deep-fried to a nice golden brown.

The Jjajang sauce was mildly sweet and savoury with a slight spicy kick to it, which we felt went pleasantly well with the tteokbokki and ramyeon. The fried chicken arrives tender on the inside and crisp on the outside but we suggest you finish them up quickly before they turn soggy.

If you’re a fan of spicy food, don’t beat around the bush and head straight for the Red Holic Tteokbokki which comes with a broth that is equally as sweet as the Jjajang sauce, but with a fiery element that will impress.

The Red Holic Beef Brisket Tteokbokki (S$28.80++) can feed 2 to 3 people nicely given its size. Similar to the Crispy Chicken Jjajang Ttekbokki, this dish gives you the best of both worlds as it comprises both ramyeon as well as their signature Tteokbokki. Carbs aside, this dish will fill you up with the beef brisket, fried mandu as well as glass noodles too!

Tanjong Pagar may be home to plenty of Korean restaurants—this area is known to be Singapore’s ‘Little Korea’ after all—but what makes Red Holic stand out is their exceptional tteokbokki which are undeniably one of the best that we tried.

And while Red Holic’s menu is rather limited, they definitely deliver when it comes to quality. Should you wish to indulge in inexpensive and hearty Korean fare that is not overly pretentious, Red Holic is a great place to consider.

The whole Ramen Keisuke line has been known to wow fans with their fantastic ramen options, and we can only be even more excited upon knowing that they have launched a 10th outlet in Clarke Quay – Ramen Keisuke Lobster King.

This new concept sees Chef Keisuke Takeda going back to his French culinary roots, creating a unique Lobster Broth Ramen, which will be served exclusively at this new outlet. And for all supper goers, Ramen Keisuke Lobster King opens daily from 6pm all the way till 5am!

He uses only premium French rock lobsters specially imported from France. The rock lobsters are first de-shelled, then the shell is pan-fried, crushed into fine bits and subsequently simmered for 6 hours with a special blend of herbs and vegetables to create a flavourful clear broth.

If you pick the creamy broth version, look forward to an even more intense flavour for the whole simmering process takes an additional 4 to 6 hours.

The menu will offer 4 different ramen options – Lobster Broth Ramen with Clear Soup (S$13.90), Lobster Broth Ramen with Rich Creamy Soup (S$14.90), Miso Lobster Broth Ramen (S$14.90) and Spicy Miso Lobster Broth Ramen ($15.90). And they are all served with super tender pork belly and chicken char siew, black pepper prawn wontons topped with crunchy bamboo shoots.

Other than just these 4 ramen options, you have a variety of side dishes to pick from. Some stand-outs are Beef Tataki (S$9.80), Pork Gyoza (S$8.80, 5 pieces) and Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Garlic Butter (S$8.80). You can now have an excellent post-night out dining option, right in the heart of Clarke Quay.

Our favourite cafe in the East – Fresh Fruits Lab – is now extending their hours to welcome all supper-goers!

We cannot be happier to know, because this simply means pigging out does not stop anytime soon with the many supper options put in place for us. On Fridays and Saturdays, and the eve of Public Holidays, Fresh Fruits Lab will open till 2am, and you can expect a supper menu that is nothing short of creative.

We are telling you that the late night dining menu is gonna make sinning worth the while. And that includes, behold, Unicorn Donuts! YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM, JUST BECAUSE. Fresh Fruits Lab is only serving only 40 #UnicornDonuts on Fridays, Saturdays, and the eve of Public Holidays from 10pm to 2am. Best supper food ever!

A series of tapas will be made available for supper, and they include bestsellers from the regular menu. Otah Sliders has got to be our favourite, as with the Beer Shrooms that are best with, well, beer. Yes, you can have your Truffle Fries too. Best supper food, right?

But you know what we truly, madly, deeply love?

THESE. #UnicornDonuts

We present you the insanely pretty Unicorn Donuts. Fresh Fruits Lab is the first in Singapore to introduce a donut ice-cream sandwich – well, it is quite literally so. Please, just take our money already.

It is in the whimsicality that reminds us of a unicorn – mystical, wild, and legendary. Premium ice-cream tucked in between fluffy homemade donuts, then lusciously covered in chocolate and all sorts of happiness. The Unicorn Donuts are a brilliant invention, and we couldn’t care less about other supper food anymore.

They come in an assortment of five flavours – The Original (S$6), Oreo & Cream (S$9), Fresh Fruits (S$9), Chocolate & Nuts (S$9), and the one that drove us nuts – Snack Donut (S$9). The fickle-minded ones and the gluttons can go straight for the Unicorn Donut Platter (S$19) that comes with two flavoured donut and an Original.

It is honestly not difficult to fall in love, and to know that they are limited by the day meant there is no hesitating about supper already; JUST DO IT.

The Unicorn Donuts are limited to 40 pieces from 10pm to 2am on Fridays, Saturdays, and eve of Public Holidays. You know this is one thing you must have on your Instagram timeline.

Truth be told, we were really upset when November 8 at Upper Thomson shut its doors a few months ago. Thankfully, the same people behind November 8 has opened a brand new cafe & bar concept in the same Thomson V One Building and it is called Five by Five (5 x 5).

The 2-week old casual establishment is decked in an all-white interior with minimalistic wooden furnishings. Five by Five is one of the rare few cafes in Singapore that opens till midnight daily (except for Tuesdays).

Tucked away from the main roads of Upper Thomson, Five by Five is a cozy space that serves espresso beverages up to Melburnian standards. Coffees (from S$3) are made from Common Man Coffee Roasters’ 22 Martin Blend and one can expect an aromatic heavy bodied cuppa with a dark chocolate lingering aftertaste.

//

The homestyle main courses offered at Five by Five are delicious and unpretentious. If you are sick of the ubiquitous Eggs Benedict, try their Japanese Beef Stew (S$18.50) and Chicken Bleu (S$15.50).

The former is a wholesome Japanese curry-based casserole of braised beef chunks served with toasts on the side, while the latter is a deboned succulent chicken thigh stuffed with bacon and cheese complemented with chewy orzo rice pasta and a leafy green salad.

//

Five by Five’s classic waffle (S$6) is a must-order; crisp on the outside and impossibly fluffy inside, we loved how consistent the texture is. You can choose to top up the tasty savoury delight with exotic ice-cream flavours (S$4.20 per deluxe scoop / S$4.80 per premium scoop) such as Coconut Taro, Thai Milk Tea, D24 Durian and whatnot.

When night approaches, Five by Five transforms into a laid back bar where you can unwind over draft beers and bottled beers. Enjoy their daily Happy Hour promotion from 5 – 9pm at just S$5 for half a pint of Kronenbourg Blanc or Kronenburg Lager. The bar-cum-cafe opens till midnight daily and Upper Thomson dwellers no longer have to head down to the awfully congested CBD for a drinking session.

Last but not least, you would be pleased to hear that Five by Five offers complimentary Wi-Fi to all dine-in customers.

Fatboy’s Burger

At Fat Boy’s, it’s go fat or go home. The massiveness of the burgers is what makes it most attractive. Indulge in the sinful Fat Bastard (S$19.80); double beef patties, extra thick bacon, cheesy cheddar and a fried egg in between the fluffy sesame buns, or challenge the chef’s creation with your imagination.

Fat Boy’s launch of build-your-burger allows patrons to experiment with a long list of patties, sauces, bun and add-ons. Fat Boy’s also serve a large variety of American dishes such as mac and cheese (S$13), hot dog (S$13) and spaghetti meatballs (S$14).

A pretty nondescript outlet along Mohammed Sultan, Midnight House is one of those under-the-radar Korean BBQ restaurant and one that we go to when we want to avoid the crazy crowds in town.

Over on the menu, you have your usuals – Beef Rib (S$32), Pork Belly (S$21) and Black Pork (S$29). And what warmed our hearts so was the Soybean Paste Stew (S$15). It is definitely one of the best stews we’ve tried in Singapore.
