Why visit? Craving comfort after a night out? Swing by Sin Hock Heng Teochew Porridge for authentic Teochew porridge that won’t break the bank.

This 21-year-old eatery keeps the lights on till the early hours, offering a variety of cai fan (economic rice) side dishes such as steamed egg and eggplant, alongside its satisfying bak kut teh.

As it’s a bit of an underrated gem, it’s the perfect place for groups seeking a spot near Stadium for supper.

Crowd favourites: As with all Teochew porridge places, it’s anyone’s guess on what the exact prices might be, but expect to pay around S$6 for a meat and two vegetables with rice or porridge. Don’t miss the san chun rou (three-layered pork) which comes with a mouth-watering sauce for you to dribble over the porridge. To complete your meal, get a bowl of piping-hot bak kut teh (S$6).

How to get there from the stadium: Take bus 70M from the bus stop opposite the National Stadium. Alight after five stops at Grandlink Square; Sin Hock Heng is just a short four-minute walk away.

2. Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice – Jalan Besar

229 Jalan Besar
Open: Monday to Sunday (11am to 3am)

Why visit? A familiar name amongst Singaporeans, Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice is a popular spot near the stadium for supper. Just follow the bright yellow signs drawing you in from along the streets. 

It’s best known for its generous slathering of “Chinese-style” curry sauce that will coat every rice grain and ingredient and remains a must-try, day or night.

Crowd favourites: Customise your curry plate with a minimum of two dishes. Our picks? Get a plate of rice (S$0.80 onwards), add the perfectly seasoned pork chop (S$2) that comes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and some cabbage (S$1), bringing your total to S$3.80. These simple ingredients, doused in a flavourful, thick curry sauce with just the right amount of spice, is just the perfect end to a night of singing your heart out.

How to get there from the stadium: Walk to the bus stop at Kallang Squash Centre and take bus 11. After three stops, take bus 67, and take a short 2-minute walk to the roadside stall.

Why visit? BBQ Box is a barbecue chain that boasts six outlets across the island and specialises in Chinese-style grilled delicacies ranging from seafood, to meat and vegetable skewers.
