WHAT TO EAT IN Novena
Novena is a fast-moving central pick for office lunches, date-night backups, mall cravings and post-errand meals. Start around Novena Square / United Square, Thomson Road / Balestier, or Whampoa / Boon Keng, or use the whole-area swipe if you want a wider net.
Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Cafe Brunch / Big Breakfast
Eggs benny, avocado toast, granola -- the Saturday ritual that makes the work week worth it.
Korean Cold Noodles
Ice-cold buckwheat noodles in tangy broth with mustard and vinegar -- the summer dish that defies logic.
Lontong
Rice cakes in coconut veg curry, sambal, egg. Soft, savoury breakfast classic.
Coconut Shake
Blended coconut water, flesh and ice cream into a frosty slush. The west-side legend.
Katsu Curry
Crispy cutlet over rice drowned in thick Japanese curry. Comfort, maxed.
Molten Lava Cake
Warm chocolate cake with a gushing molten centre, scoop of vanilla on top. The dessert-menu MVP.
Lime Juice
Tangy-sweet calamansi over ice. The hawker centre table-default.
Macaron
Crisp-shelled almond meringue sandwiches with silky ganache. Pretty, pricey, gone in two bites.

Halal-friendly ideas
A useful starting point. Still check the stall's halal cert before ordering.
Dessert and drink run
For second stomach, after-meal strolls, or a low-commitment catch-up.
Good for sharing
Order a few things, pass plates around, let everyone claim they chose well.
