“Want go JB for supper?”
Ah, music to my ears.
Yes, heading into Johor Bahru to indulge in late-night grub is truly one of Singaporeans’ favourite pastimes — don’t we all have friends who make crossing the causeway for supper (followed by a massage or KTV session) a weekly affair?
If this is you, we’ve compiled a list of the best supper spots in JB that open past midnight, including several 24/7 options (of course) for those who want to munch all night long.
1. Restoran HW Wanton Mee
Look no further than Restoran HW Wanton Mee if it’s good ol’ wanton mee you’re craving.
Each plate of noodles (from RM8.60), which can be prepared with either White or Black Sauce (it seems as though everyone prefers the latter) is served with thinly sliced char siew, wanton skin, bok choy, a bowl of soup dumplings, and if you like, crispy pork lard.
Add on a side of crispy fried wantons and you’re all set for the evening. The eatery is also conveniently (strategically?) located besides the popular Bangkok Spa, so you can easily pop in for a massage before or after your meal.

2. Restoran Ah Piaw
Another wanton mee spot frequented by both locals and visitors is Restoran Ah Piaw, a 24-hour eatery that’s just a short drive from the JB checkpoint.
Aside from their Signature Wanton Mee (from S$2.40, RM8.50), which is prepared using springy duck egg noodles, they are also known for Abalone Kuey Teow Soup (S$7.06, RM25) — kway teow in a comforting pork-based broth chock full of scallops, prawns, fishballs, lean pork slices, fish maw, wantons, and mock abalone.
You can also find a lok lok and dim sum stall within the eatery, so feel free to fill the table with all your favourite supper eats — perfect if you’re dining in a large group.

3. Wei Ge Lok Lok
To be fair, most lok lok eateries in JB are supper spots, but Wei Ge Lok Lok in Mount Austin is the perfect spot for when you have hunger pangs in the wee hours of the night.
They operate out of a food truck all the way till 4am, so you can spend the entire night choosing from their wide selection of meats, vegetables, and fresh seafood skewers with options like prawns, cuttlefish, and squid.
All we can say is, lok lok really hits different after a three-hour long karaoke session.

4. Fat Fish
Fans of Chongqing-style grilled fish ought to hit up Fat Fish, a restaurant where seafood takes centre stage.
Most tend to go for the sumptuous Seafood Pots, which come with an assortment of seafood — think crab, prawns, clams, scallops, squid, and abalone — all bubbling away in a massive pot of richly seasoned broth.
Otherwise, go for one of the Fat Fish Pots and chow down on your choice of fish, be it barramundi, orange roughy, or red snapper. Then, take your pick from the extensive variety of unique soup bases, like Sichuan Hot & Spicy, Sweet Corn, and Pepper Bone, along with your preferred add-ons.
If you’re not up for a massive meal at midnight, a Mini Pot or two will do just the trick.

5. Jiah Xiang Dim Sum (Plaza Sentosa)
Jiah Xiang Dim Sum will satisfy your random cravings for dim sum at any time of the day — as long as you visit the Plaza Sentosa outlet (the only one open 24/7).
As with most reputable dim sum spots in JB, you can expect good quality ingredients and a dizzying array of dishes. Other than crowd favourites like the oozy Golden Bao (S$2.19, RM7.80) and Xiao Long Bao (S$2.19, RM7.80), you’ll never go wrong with their shrimp dim sum dishes.

6. Restoran Jamilah
Restoran Jamilah is the JB supper spot to pull up to when those roti prata (okay, roti canai — this is Malaysia) cravings arise.
Take your pick from the typical Indian Muslim mamak staples like nasi goreng, mee goreng, sup kambing, thosai, chapati, nasi lemak, fried chicken, and nasi campur, and wash everything down with a cup of frothy teh for good measure.
📍61, Jalan Yahya Awal, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80100 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
🕒 24 hours
7. Restoran Hi Wan
If you’ve never tried Johor-style kway chap, otherwise known as kway teow kia, this is your sign to visit Restoran Hi Wan on your next late-night jaunt across the causeway.
Unlike the kway chap we have in Singapore, which is characterised by broad sheets of kway teow, the noodles here are cut into thin and long strips.
The smooth and silky kway teow is served in a herbal, lightly peppery broth, best enjoyed with side dishes like braised pork, pork belly, intestines, pig skin, and beancurd, just to name a few.
📍 210, Jalan Sri Pelangi, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
🕒 3.30pm–2am (Mon to Sun)
8. Hoobaa Hotpot 火爆锅
As much as lok lok always hits different late at night, there are times when only a hearty hotpot feast will do.
Hoobaa Hotpot in Mount Austin is one place worth checking out if you’re not keen on braving the queues at Haidilao.
Slurp up your favourite soup bases, including Tomato, Mala, Tom Yum, and Old Hen Chicken, before helping yourself to the selection of complimentary snacks, DIY sauces, fruits, and desserts at no additional charge.
Solo diners are in luck as the restaurant offers an incredibly value-for-money “Singles Lunch Menu” from Monday to Thursdays (12pm–5pm) for just S$8.43 (RM29.90++), inclusive of your choice of soup base, meat, rice or noodles, and vegetables.

9. Restoran Reaz Corner
This reliable halal 24-hour eatery serves up the usual mamak fare, most notably Nasi Briyani Bombay (from RM4.50), which you can choose to pair with ayam goreng, kambing rusuk (mutton ribs) or ikan.
If you’re not sure what to order, look around and you’ll see dishes like the Nasi Goreng Gear Box (S$4.23, RM15), Roti Canai Sarang Burung, and Roti Arab (from S$0.70, RM2.50), a fluffy flatbread of sorts that goes oh-so well with both sweet and savoury toppings, on every table.
Restoran Reaz Corner is also located near Pasar Karat, a bustling night market, so you can head down for a spot of vintage thrifting and street eats (if you’re still feeling peckish) afterwards.

11. Dragon’s Journey Hotpot JB
It’s the Year of the Dragon, so it’s only fitting that you visit Dragon’s Journey Hotpot for a sumptuous buffet in the form of Sichuan-style hotpot.
There are two types of a la carte buffets to choose from, with the more premium Luxury Buffet priced at S$33.81 (RM119.90++), inclusive of unlimited Premium Snowflake Beef, Iberian Pork, Hokkaido Scallops, and Fresh Oysters — the good stuff.
But even if you opt for the Signature Buffet (S$22.54, RM79.90), you’ll still get to take your pick from around 100 different ingredients, including those of the more “exotic” variety, such as Pig and Duck Blood Cube, Pig Throat, and Thousand Layer Belly Tripe.

13. Quivo (Mid Valley Southkey)
Mid Valley Southkey is a popular mall amongst many Singaporeans, myself included, but did you know that it’s also home to a Quivo, a hidden gem serving modern Mediterranean-inspired cuisine that opens till 2am?
Treat yourself to starters like Sizzling Garlic Prawns (RM48) and Hummus Kawarma (RM59), before moving on to the well-curated selection of thin-crust pizzas, burgers, pasta, and grilled meats. Oh, and a cocktail or two in between wouldn’t hurt either.

We hear their Oysters (six for RM18), which can be enjoyed fresh or grilled with cheese, Thai chilli, or green pepper, are a must-order.
