As a lifetime Eastie, there is nothing you can do to dissuade me from saying “east side, best side”. With an array of hidden gems in neighbourhoods, and the holy trinity of Tampines 1, Tampines Mall, and Century Square located at the heart of it all, Tampines is far from a boring heartland. Here’s our guide to the gourmand options at Tampines.
Restaurants & hawkers
888 Mookata
There’s nothing quite like mookata for your late-night fix. Set up by local celebrities Chew Chor Meng and Dennis Chew, 888 Mookata in Tampines is one of the four outlets islandwide.
A first-timer? Simply pick from the Platter for Two ($26) or Platter for Four ($45) for a wide spread of ingredients and bang for buck. A dream of avoiding those Golden Mile mookata queues has come true.
