Opens late, 3, 4 am, and they’re still going strong.
All standard Western fare available (S$5), including mushroom and/or cheese omelettes (S$3), and a less “battered” dish called Blackened Fish. The Chicken Wrap with Cheese is really q. yummy, and comes on a bed of french fries.
Tommy’s also serves a variety of one plate tze char (Chinese stir fry, essentially) dishes.
Drinks are not too bad, though I prefer next door’s Fong Seng Nasi Lemak’s better. Sharing Tommy’s space is relative newcomer Chong Pang Nasi Lemak. The drinks stall sells fruit, and some traditional iced desserts.
Beside the Kent Ridge Terminal. Remember that the police aren’t likely to be kind to your car if you park illegally.
This place is really, really quiet. They don’t pipe in music, and they don’t believe in air-conditioning. But they do serve beer, and pretty decent fish and chips.
The cream dory, at the cheapest on the list, is just S$6.50. Add a soft drink for S$2. Perhaps we aren’t great connoiseurs but the deep-fried, batter-laden fish seemed to all taste alike to us, so the more expensive possibilities (like monkfish?) didn’t really seem worthwhile.
I always think of fish and chips as a thoroughly blue collar sort of dish anyway. :].
The fish arrives in a basket with either (fries [crispy] or chips [just fried]) and there’s a range of sauces, mayonnaise, tartar, malt vinegar, honey mustard. Ask the (somewhat grim) counter girls. Coleslaw, though, is a rather exorbitant additional S$2.50.
From Riverside Point, walk towards Clarke Quay, and then down New Bridge Road to reach No. 27. If you’re lost there’s always the phone: +65 6532 6468.

The Les Amis group already has a fairly comprehensive website, right here, including their menus: http://www.lesamis.com.sg/webtop/index2.html.
What I can tell you:
- the food isn’t so great (set lunches S$22-24, set dinners S$38), but!
- its really quiet, service is excellent,
- beers are only S$7-8, there’s a great range of wines, tea/coffee between S$4-5, and pretty decent dessert.
But they close by 10pm.
In summary: Instead of hitting one of the ubiquitous second-rate noisy-as-hell coffee joints, try this place: 1 Scotts Road, Shaw Centre #02-10 (just beyond the carpark entrance). Reservations at +65 6333 8966.

Business has been so good they’ve expanded, but food standards remain consistently above-average. Good prata, tehcinoais, also has Western, Thai, and Indian Rojak but ambient noise levels are directly proportional to the number of tables and motorcycles.
Cheong Chin Nam Road, opposite Beauty World.
