All-day breakfasts in Singapore: Where to get eggs, bacon, and waffles for dinner in Singapore

Imagine a platter of eggs, fluffy pancakes, and waffles drenched in maple syrup — sounds like the perfect hearty meal to start your day. But why shouldn't it also be the last meal of the day? Since the beginning of time, society has entrenched in the back of our minds the belief that breakfast foods are only acceptable to have in the morning. Which frankly, in the wise words of Ron Swanson from Parks & Recreation, "C'mon, there has never been a sadness that can't be cured by breakfast food." That means come day or night, you're entitled to tuck into a gooey bed of scrambled eggs and baked beans on toast.

Leave it to these restaurants in Singapore to serve you. Then get a good night's sleep after what's dubbed to be 'the most important meal of the day'.
