Tiong Bahru Plaza Kopitiam revamps with new stalls, including Michelin Bib Gourmand chee cheong fun

Tiong Bahru is a neighbourhood with no shortage of good food. It’s known for famous curry rice stalls, lor mee stalls and famous chwee kueh.

However, most of the scrumptious attractions are also only concentrated in a few hawker enclaves — Tiong Bahru Market in particular.

To add on to all the good food already in the area, diners will have more options within Tiong Bahru Plaza itself. The shopping mall’s Kopitiam has just undergone a revamp to provide an accessible dining spot, with a much needed plus — air-conditioning.

Unveiled on Sept 29 after six months of renovation, Kopitiam @ Tiong Bahru Plaza comes with a rustic look, done up with nostalgic trimmings — such as bird cages — to fit in with the quaint neighbourhood.

But the upgrades are not just skin-deep, as it also introduces a collection of specially curated stalls, including some eye-catching names.

Chee cheong fun enthusiasts in particular will be excited to hear that the renowned Pin Wei Chee Cheong Fun, which is recognised on Michelin’s Bib Gourmand list, will be part of the lineup at Kopitiam @ Tiong Bahru.

The brand, originally located at Pek Kio Food Centre, is lauded for its silky rice rolls. 

While it’s been expanding its presence in recent years, this is the brand’s first branch in central Singapore — besides its original spot near Novena, that is.

It’ll also feature newer upstarts on the scene including Cuo Cuo You Yu and Kallang Airport Wanton Mee, one of the most prolific wonton mee brands in Singapore.

Other than that, the food court will also be hosting a slew of familiar brands including:

• Pepper Kitchen
• Qiu Lian Ban Mian
• Koo Kee Yong Tow Foo Mee
• Lau Di Fang Scissors Cut Curry Rice
• Herbal Soup by Master Shen
• Ipoh Roasted Duck & Chicken
• Han Ssik Dang Korean Cuisine

To commemorate the launch, customers visiting Kopitiam @ Tiong Bahru Plaza can enjoy a bowl of comforting dessert at an affordable price. Both hot and cold cheng tng will be available at a special price of S$1.50 with a minimum spend of S$5.

(Edit: The promotion has since ended.)

The Kopitiam signature breakfast set will also be available for NTUC members at S$3 at the Kopi Kiosk from 8am to 11am daily.

Besides that, you’ll also be able to enjoy a 10% cash discount on transactions made via the FairPrice Group app at all participating stalls.
