At the heart of this integrated concept is the perfect union of Kopitiam’s hawker favourites (Food Court and Kiosks) and FairPrice Finest's curated grocery offerings, a dual concept unique to the FairPrice Group. Within the same space, customers can enjoy a diverse selection of local favourites and discover new tastes while fuelling their shopping quest for unique Singaporean merchandise and essential groceries.
The rejuvenated space channels the spirit of Singapore’s colonial past (spot the distinctive black and white tile motifs and the use of white, panelled columns), offering a nostalgic retreat where the elegance of old world charm meets modern culinary delights.
Two tranquil water fountain ponds take centre stage, reminiscent of the peaceful courtyards where travellers once sipped afternoon tea and dined under the tropical sky. Surrounded by alfresco-like seating, the space invites guests to relax and savour iconic hawker fare, much like the social communal gatherings in days gone by. This bright and thoughtful design also underscores a commitment to creating an inviting environment where anyone from international visitors to locals can savour the best of Singaporean hospitality - a first in the Singapore food retail scene.
A Kopitiam for the World Experience a world of flavours at your fingertips. With 29 stalls offering a diverse range of local and international cuisines, this vibrant space is the ultimate destination for food lovers.
Local hawker favourites range from Wanton Mee’s classic wanton mee and Lao Fan Ji’s hearty bak kut teh to 1985’s tender braised duck. Halal options such as nasi padang, chicken rice, Teochew fishball noodles and nasi kandar By Chef Syed, even Korean Halal are also available catering to diverse tastes.
For those seeking modern and international flavours, there are teppan master Mr Peppery Rice, Dan Lao's silky scrambled egg rice bowls, and Monster Chilli Mala Hot Pot. Don’t leave without trying Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang with its Indonesian spicy chicken and sambal sauce, or Pin Wei's silky smooth Hong Kong-style chee cheong fun at the Kopitiam Kiosks.
