As a nation of foodies, weâre blessed to have a revolving door of events that sate our need for good street food. The latest food fair to join the fray is NOM NOM NOM which will hold its inaugural instalment at Shaw House from now till 14 July 2019. With opening hours till 1am on weekends, the fair makes for a wonderful late-night dining spot to check out with your friends!
Here, youâll find a slew of tasty local and regional dishes such as ma la beef cubes, burgers and Taiwanese bubble tea. Unlike other food fairs, however, this event will also have happy hour deals and lucky draws where you can win 3D2N trips to the likes of Hong Kong and Vietnam!
At this point, itâs safe to say that youâll find Beef Bros serving their succulent blow-torched beef cubes at any big food fair. While their regular Beef Cubes ($13) are tasty enough, itâs the Mala Beef Cubes ($15) and Truffle Beef Cubes ($17) that are worth queuing for. The former is studded with loads of peppercorn giving a numbing mouthfeel, while the latter whets your appetite with a strong truffle perfume and oozing melted cheese.
Churro stalls are a dime a dozen, but Churros Republic stood out from the crowd so much that they were selected as the âPreferred Churros Partnerâ in this yearâs Michelin Guide Street Food Festival. Just one look at their churros, and youâll know that the honour is well-deserved.
Their Creme BrĂ»lĂ©e ($9.90) boasts a stack of soft and crispy churros thatâs topped with a dollop of creme brĂ»lĂ©e custard and icing sugar. As an added bonus for those with a sweet tooth, it also comes with vanilla ice-cream and fresh blueberries! The stall will also launch their new Cheeky Monkey ($9.90) which maxes the decadence meter with Nutella custard creme, dark chocolate sauce and chocolate ice-cream!
In case you missed the memo, boba is currency this year and KeCha is the latest brand to cash in. At $5.90, their Taiwan Brown Sugar Flaming Creme Brulee Milk costs a pretty penny. However, the theatrics of the intense flame caramelising the creme brulee is worth the asking fee. The milk itself is rich, with streaks of liquid brown sugar giving it multidimensional levels of sweetness.Â
On the other hand, their Northern Lights ($4.90) is like a bottled Aurora Borealis with dazzling gradients of teal and blue. The refreshing sight extends to its taste as well; it has strong minty notes that work beautifully with the soft pearls within.
If youâre looking to fuel up with a complete meal, Monkiâs Taiwanese fare will do the trick. Their Monki sets pair their generously portioned Taiwan Braised Pork Rice with sides and drinks. The Monki Braised Pork Set B ($10) ups the savoury level by serving fatty lu rou fan with a beautifully charred Taiwanese sausage.Â
For the health-conscious, youâll be glad to know that the desserts here are free from artificial flavourings, preservatives and stabilisers. Their Durian Coconut Snowflake ($12) will make your friends green with envy, courtesy of its blanket of durian pengat.
Three Buns constantly pops up in lists of âBest Burgers In Singaporeââso if youâve yet to try âem, nowâs the chance! Their signature Da Cheesemaster ($15) packs a black Angus beef patty, miso mustard, charred onions and double cheese between toasted demi brioche buns, giving each mouthful a satisfying blend of savoury and tart flavours.
Theyâve also jumped on the Impossible bandwagon, and have since released the Impossible Inferno Slider ($15)âa vegetarian-friendly option with an Impossible meat patty, roasted scotch bonnet salsa verde and cheese.

Youâll find a satisfying blend of carbs and protein in 6ixs Rostiâs bowls of rosti. The bowls come in four flavoursâclassic ($6), spicy ($6), cheesy ($7), and salted egg ($8)âand can be topped up with an assortment of meats.Â
If you want something lighter yet equally delicious, get their Cheese Sticks ($6 for five pieces) which features gooey and decadent cheese.
These six stalls are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of delicious nosh you can nom at NOM NOM NOM Food Fair. The fair will host over 10 food joints serving the likes of satay burrito, grilled chicken and booze. They even have carnival games and a gorgeous carousel you can ride in!
Speaking of booze, come by from 4pm every day to enjoy their Happy Hour Deals! With this promo, you can snag Tiger and Guinness draughts at $4 and $5 respectively with any purchase.
For a greater reason to splash the cash, buy their coupon booklet ($20) to score better deals at all food stalls. Doing so will also put you in a lucky draw in which the top prize is a 3D2N trip for two to Hong Kong, worth $1,600!
So if youâre looking for a post-work hang these next few days, head to NOM NOM NOM from now till 14 July 2019 for good food and vibes!
