ABC Nasi Kandar

ABC Nasi Kandar once operated as a 24-hour Muslim Indian restaurant with multiple locations across Singapore, including branches at Desker Road, Changi Road, and Serangoon Road, serving the community with round-the-clock Indian Muslim cuisine. The establishment specialized in nasi kandar - the famed rice and curry combination from Penang - alongside an extensive menu spanning prata, biryani, kebabs, noodles, and Western food preparations.

The nasi kandar tradition involves displaying multiple curry dishes that diners select from to accompany their rice, creating personalized combinations of flavours and heat levels. ABC Nasi Kandar version aimed to bring this Malaysian-Indian Muslim dining experience to Singapore, with the convenience of 24-hour operation making it accessible for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night cravings. The restaurant diverse menu reflected the fusion of Middle Eastern and Indian influences that characterize much of Muslim Indian cuisine in Southeast Asia.

However, the establishment has faced significant challenges, with multiple outlets having closed and some locations under investigation. The Serangoon Road outlet has been stripped, and the Desker Road location boarded up, marking a significant contraction from its former multi-location presence. These developments serve as a reminder of the operational challenges facing even established 24-hour eateries in Singapore competitive F&B landscape.
