21 Late Night Food in Bugis, Singapore

Now, just because Singaporeans like convenience doesn’t mean that food always has to take a hit in terms of quality. Granted, it does sometimes, but at Bugis Junction the restaurants are of such excellent quality that they really make a shopping spree at this high-end mall extremely satisfying. Popular with locals as well as tourists because it’s very central and located close to the MRT station, Bugis Junction seems to define Singapore’s appetite for an extravagant shopping complex, meaning the choice of restaurants is seriously impressive. You have no less than 30 restaurants inside Bugis Junction with cuisines varying from French to American and Portuguese to Japanese. Most of them are names you’ll know, but there’s certainly nothing wrong with that if you know you’re guaranteed a great plate of food – they’re all at one end of the Bugis restaurant scale, let’s say.

At the other end of Bugis restaurant scale, restaurant and cafe hopping has become quite the way to pass the time these days. As well as Kampong Glam, Bali Lane and Haji Lane are central to areas of Bugis that have restaurants and cafes in abundance, and if your day is shaping up to be a little more chill than a stint inside Bugis Junction, we’d really recommend a little tour of the best ones. Why not stop by an English-style cafe and indulge in an artisan tea menu, or an independent Mexican restaurant for tacos that are loaded with fresh meat, veg and guac? Japanese restaurants in Bugis are also quite a big deal because the food they offer is fresh, exciting and super sociable, so you’ll find some damn good ones hiding away in between the mains roads of Victoria Street and Nicoll Highway. Then, of course, just in case you aren’t actually hungry, Bugis has restaurants, bars and cafes that quite happy to have you in for just a coffee or a cocktail.
