SINGAPORE -- Pig intestines, grilled chicken wings, curry prata, soupy stews -- everything's fair game for a Singaporean supper.
Local food in the island state is made up of the indigenous Malay cuisines, and often mixed with recipes from the various immigrant ethnic groups that arrived in the 19th century such as the Chinese, Indians and colonists from Portugal and Britain. It's not uncommon to find unique marriages of different foreign dishes that have become more or less native to Singapore after decades of influence.
And Singaporeans, it seems, will go to great lengths to satisfy their cravings.
In his caption for this picture of fish head curry, Ron Lim said he discovered it along a crowded stretch of shophouses in the eastern part of the island. "Prepare to sweat, especially on a humid weeknight with nary a breeze," he said.
Shawn Loh said his trek to get a bowl of yong tao foo -- a mixed stew of tofu, meat and vegetables -- involved pushing past an eager "stampede" of crowds that form once his favourite stall opens at midnight. You've got to be quick in picking out your stew ingredients, or you'll get jostled by the impatient crowd, he said.
Here are some other dishes that Singaporeans will go the distance to eat late at night:
