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.
Cheeseburger
Smash patty, American cheese, pickles, special sauce. The burger debate is eternal -- just eat one and be happy.
Fish Tacos
Beer-battered fish, slaw, crema, lime in a soft corn tortilla. Baja California decided tacos needed the sea, and nailed it.
Acai Bowl
Thick frozen acai, granola, fresh fruit on top -- the Instagram hit that is also genuinely delicious.
Beef Rendang
Slow-cooked beef in dry spiced coconut, fall-apart tender. Padang royalty.
Goreng Pisang
Crispy battered banana, hot from the wok. The 50-cent joy.
Pho
Star-anise-scented beef broth, rice noodles, herb plate. Add lime, tear basil, slurp slowly -- weekday therapy.
Nyonya Kueh
Jewel-bright steamed cakes: kueh lapis, ang ku kueh, kueh salat. Coconut, pandan, gula melaka in bite-size.
Ondeh Ondeh
Pandan glutinous balls that burst with warm gula melaka, rolled in fresh coconut. The original flavour bomb.
