Calling all night owls! If you’re looking for a nice supper place to grab some chow, you can visit Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel!
As the name suggests, you can find teh tarik here plus a gazillion other drinks. There’s Milo Dinosaur, teh halia (ginger tea), various ice blended drinks, just to name a few. Read my earlier review on Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel to find out more about the drinks!
Perhaps Mr. Teh Tarik is more well known for the vast variety of drinks. But do you know that they whip up many yummy dishes to go along too?

One of my favourite Muslim dishes is roti john. Most of the time, it is served with plenty of chilli sauce.
At Mr. Teh Tarik, the roti john is served with very delicious chilli sauce AND creamy mayonnaise too. Simply sedap (yummy)! This additional condiment makes a world of difference.
Plus, the way they squeeze it in a cute checkered pattern over the French bread is just neat!
Oh by the way, if you aren’t too familiar with this dish, check out my earlier writeup on how roti john came about and got its name. It’s pretty interesting!

Of course, there’s also nasi briyani for people that prefer eating rice rather than bread. We had asked for our chicken to be deep fried. It turned out pretty well, although I would still go for roti john any day!
So, for those of you looking for a late night supper place, you now have another option! That’s great for all of us, right?

Hi Veron, I enjoy reading your blog and the colours of your website is just so sweet and dreamy…
Can you suggest a nice place for some ladies’ intimate get-together high tea session which serves buffet style?

krisandro: Yay! Another roti john lover! This dish is well underrated.
Se: Thanks! I do know of a few great places that ladies would love to hang out at, but alas, no buffet! If you aren’t too particular about having a buffet, here are a few places with great ambience and decent food:
– The Cookie Museum (formerly known as The V Tea Room)
– Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge
– Tea Cosy @ Eclectic Attic
– Max Brenner (a little noisy at times though)
Do a search here for my reviews on them. Have fun!
Peko Peko: Thanks! People in Singapore are crazy about Japanese food too :)

I am a big fan of teh tarik ever since I moved to Singapore four years ago, but I haven’t been able to find a place where it caters well to that beverage. It is also nice to know this place is somewhat near where I live. Thanks for the recommendation.
By the way, I am a first time commentor, even though I have visited your site numerous times. Great design, and I love how you cater all your posts to promoting Singapore. I have learned a lot more things about this place (especially in regards to eating places) while going through your site. Thanks!

Thanks Id. It’s always great to know that someone finds my blog posts useful. I tend to focus on writing about eating establishments or events in Singapore, because these are the things that interest me the most and sometimes I stumble across something that a lot of people out there may not know of. This blog provides a good medium to spread the word :)

Tiong Bahru Plaza took away the outdoor seating area of Teh Tarik Cartel. What a sin!
It seemed that residents across the road complained to NEA about the noise generated by customers at night.

Yes! I saw the notice they posted. They mentioned the outdoor area is undergoing “renovation”, although I sure didn’t see any renovation going on. I think you may well be right. What a shame! It’s a great 24-hour hangout.

I really like to taste all the delicious food there but unfortunately I have no chance!
I always want to try their food but it is full house everytime I pass by there.
I reach TB Plaza today around 9pm after work. I’m so excited to see that there are some seats at the shop.
I take a seat & wait for a while but I didnt see any staffs there so I decided to walk into the shop. I asked one of the staff where to order food & I was told to go to the counter.
I happily queue up & wait for my turn.
After I order the food the staff told me that “having here sit outside & wait for ordering”. It is about 9.20pm & I’m very HUNGRY!!!
I sit down again. Now I saw a staff taking order at a table next to me. I tried to be patience & wait…..
The staff walk into the shop after taking the orders, He turn back and look at me before he step into the shop & it was about 20m away from me. He asked “You take ur order d?”
I told him haven & he never even listen properly & walk into the shop.
9.30pm & I was told to sit & wait & wait…..
I not sure what will you think when you’re hungry & nobody bother to service & serve you. I only feel disappointed!
I requested to see the manager there. But the staff just said sorry & you can take your order now. It really piss me off!!!!
I always tot that services in Singapore is perfect as the government promoted their services excellent all the while. However I changed my mind today!
This will be the 1st & last I visit this shop.

Went to MTT at Big Splash this morning, service was extremely bad, no one to provide menu, table was dirty, they never even came and wiped off the previous customers mess or take our order. We had to go and get the menu and walk up to provide order. Waited over 30 minutes for a simple roti prata. Asked the waiter and he seemed very arrogant and said have to wait, maybe another 10 minutes. 40 mins for a prata? Come on….we got up and walked out without paying for our teh tarik as we felt this was worst service in Singapore. Never going back there again.

i went to mr teh tarik at geylang tristar inn. today 31/10/2011 1245hrs, wanted to buy malay kuehs, the seller a dark skinned probably a bangladeshi. although i show my finger 2 and say dua (two in malay) he say two & yell he dont understand. he’s quite rude… myb they are not trained courtesy etiqutte at all by mr teh tarik management. poor service, food there also not that fantastic. i strongly recommend hajah maimunah restaurant nearby, food good & cheap, kuihs also varieties & yummy. importantly the sellers are local, helpful & friendly.
