Looking for something to eat at 2am, but your kitchen is empty? Pop into a 7-Eleven near you. Singapore has 400 outlets and counting, so it’s almost impossible that there isn’t one nearby. Take your pick from their ever-expanding range of microwavable meals, instant foods and cup noodles—microwave and hot water provided. The newly launched Chicken Rice Onigiri ($2.50) is a local twist on the Japanese konbini favourite, but you can always stick to the classics with Hanjuku Egg Onigiri ($2.50) or Baked Mentaiko Pasta ($4.50). Their new 7Café concept, available at selected 7-Eleven marts, offers freshly-brewed coffee for your late nights too!
