Having supper, especially on weekends, is a huge subset of Singaporeans' favourite past time - eating. There's something strangely exhilarating about feasting late at night. A short car ride would take you between supper haunts. On week nights, you would see people dining alone (probably those who work the graveyard shift) or in pairs late at night. On weekends, having supper is almost like a must with your group of buddies.

What could be more heartening than a piping hot bowl of homely nourishment, especially on a wet evening in Singapore? (As I envisage myself delving into a bowl of porridge, childhood memories of my grandmother's cooking flood my mind.) Porridges from all walks of life are akin to antique gems. The porridge haunts in Singapore mostly come from the Cantonese, Teochew and Hainanese heritage. The Cantonese and Hainanese porridge are well flavoured on its own, with the Cantonese version being starchy and smooth (almost like a paste!) and the Hainanese one with the rice grains intact. These are normally topped with a handful of dough fritters. Digging into the hot bowl, you'd find your order choice of century egg, sliced fish or minced pork/liver. Teochew porridge is plain and cooked with lots of water such that when served, the 'porridge water' makes up a third of the final porridge product. To go with it, there are a myriad of mini dishes to choose from, including salted eggs, salted vegetables, ikan bilis (fried anchovies), steamed fish with black bean, stir fried bitter gourd in black bean, fish cake... (you get the 'salty' idea.)
3) Dim Sum From the luscious char siew bao (sweet pork buns) to the delectable lo mai gai/hor yip fan (lotus leaf glutinous rice wrap), piquant fragrance is a trademark amongst dim sum dishes. The Cantonese cuisine at its zenith makes for an idyllic way to paint the town red at midnight. Oh, and remember to end supper off with a warm and flaky egg tart!
