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.
Pasta
Al dente and proud of it -- aglio olio, carbonara, arrabiata -- whatever your mood, pasta has the answer.
Kway Chap
Flat rice sheets in dark herbal broth with braised innards and tofu. Brave souls only -- but oh so worth it.
Thai Green Curry
Coconut-rich, herb-fragrant, gentle heat building up sneakily. Eggplant and chicken in a green dream.
Fruit Rojak
Prawn-paste, sugar, lime, you tiao, fruit + cucumber, peanuts. Sticky chaos, perfect chaos.
Pancakes
Towers of fluffy pancakes, drowned in maple syrup and butter. Brunch peak form. Soufflé version shakes the room.
Mee Rebus
Thick sweet-potato gravy over yellow noodles, egg, green chilli, calamansi. Underrated GOAT.
Cake / Pastry
A great slice of layer cake or a perfect croissant -- the non-negotiable afternoon pick-me-up.
Tteokbokki
Chewy rice cakes in fiery red gochujang sauce -- a Korean street-food obsession that crossed every border.
