Late-night things to do in Singapore

Singapore keeps going after dinner. This list runs from cocktail bars and clubs to hawker stalls that cook past midnight, night markets, free light shows and a nocturnal zoo, so there's something for a quiet supper or a long night.

Late means different things here. For supper, head for the hawker centres and zi char kitchens, which cook to order for the whole table. For a drink, the shophouse streets around Ann Siang and Keong Saik have the bars. For something to watch, the Supertree lights at Gardens by the Bay are free.

Lau Pa Sat Hawker CentreFree

Victorian market hall, with satay grilled on the street

Our pick

Lau Pa Sat is a cast-iron Victorian market that stays open all night, and after dark the satay carts set up on Boon Tat Street. Eat outside with a plate of sticks and a cold drink, and pay by the stick.

For zi char at 2am, Geylang's kitchens keep going. Some of its lanes are part of a licensed red-light area, so eat where the tables are full. Geylang Night Eating
