LIST: 24-hour eats after watching a concert in Singapore
Singapore's food scene is a blessing for anyone struck by hunger pangs, no matter the time. Sure, familiar fast food chains like McDonald's or Burger King might seem tempting, but the city is full of gastronomic options to satisfy those cravings—whether you're looking for a hot bowl of laksa, a serving of spicy seafood, or a plate of chicken rice.
Luckily, several spots cater to night owls, perfect for grabbing a bite after an evening out, like a concert. So, here are some restaurants and stalls open for 24 hours in Singapore.
Lau Pa Sat
18 Raffles Quay
Ask any local and they'll tell you Lau Pa Sat is a must-visit hawker in Singapore. Also known as Telok Ayer Market, Lau Pa Sat is a historic building located within the Downtown Core in the Central Area. It houses food stalls from all around Asia offering affordable meals.
Tip: If you're going to a hawker center, bring cash as most of them do not accept credit cards.
Newton Food Centre
500 Clemenceau Ave N
Another iconic hawker place is Newton Food Centre. Fans of Crazy Rich Asians will recognize this location from the movie. Here you can find Michelin Bib Gourmand-listed stalls like Heng, serving oyster omelettes; Kwang Kee Teochew Fish Porridge; R&B Express for its Chicken Wings and Satays; and Alliance Seafood, which is known for its chili crabs.
Lang Nuong Vietnam
18 Foch Rd & 19 Hamilton Rd
Looking for something else aside from laksa and satay? Head to Lang Nuong Vietnam, which serves authentic Vietnamese barbequed street food.
