2. Go Noodle House
Go Noodle House is a famous Malaysian chain, known for its bursting meatballs. This is their second outlet in Singapore, and first in the East right here at Our Tampines Hub. We tried the Hakka Sauce Handmade Noodles with Century Egg ($10.80++), which came topped with molten-yolked century eggs. Toss it all together and allow the yolks to emulsify the Hakka sauce, adding richness to the mix.
To get more variety, add Signature Bursting Meatballs ($3.20++) to a bowl of Double Bursting Fish Ball ($14.80++). We had them with Go Noodle House’s mixian, a rice noodle similar to thick bee hoon, in Superior Soup. This comes with a shot of Chinese yellow rice wine to pour into the soup, which enhances the aroma and freshness in the broth. Do note that the last order is 30 minutes before closing time at Go Noodles House.
Unit number: #01-103
Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 11:30am to 9:30pm, Fri 11:30am to 10pm Sat 11am to 10pm, Sun 11am to 9:30pm

3. exppress by PappaRich
Adjacent to Go Noodle House is exppress by PappaRich, a halal option with Malaysian delights. Try the signature Hainan Bread ($3.80), which has a rich history of over 70 years. Have it steamed or toasted, both of which come with slatherings of coconutty kaya and butter. The KL Hokkien Mee ($10.80) is served fresh from the stove, perfumed with wok hei, and lip smackingly good.
We couldn’t leave without trying the Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken ($8.80), which is another signature at PappaRich. Here’s a curious fact: the fried chicken is not dipped into any batter! The story goes that rather than sell PappaRich the recipe for his fried chicken, the original maker decided to join the chain, and marinate their fried chicken for them instead. We tried it, and were floored by the super-crisp skin, and juicy meat within.

4. Guzman y Gomez
Get your Mexican fix at Guzman y Gomez’s first outlet in the East, right here in Our Tampines Hub. Take your pick from their menu of Mexican classics like Quesadillas (from $4.50), Tacos (from $5), Burritos (from $10.90), and Enchiladas (from $14.90). Then, choose your filling from a selection of chicken, beef, fish, vegetables, and their newest option: tofu.
We had a pair of Quesadillas with Grilled Chicken ($8.50), which came toasty from the oven. Biting into this, we were greeted with oozing melted cheese, perfect for that cheese pull shot. Our favourite, hands down, was the Nachos topped with Slow Roasted Beef (top-up $1). The salsa and guacamole added a refreshing kick to the savoury, pull-apart meat. Altogether, this dish was a carnival of textures in the mouth, thanks to the crunchy corn chips.

5. Penang Savour
A trip to nearby Penang seems unlikely in the near future, but Penang Savour brings the foodie destination to us. It doesn’t get more authentic than Penang Chendol ($2.50), Penang Laksa ($4.50), and Penang Fried Kway Teow ($5). The chendol is memorable for the red beans, which still retains some bite, homemade pandan jelly noodles, and the caramel, earthy taste of gula melaka.
The highlight was definitely the Penang Laksa, which is less commonly found in Singapore. The broth here is rich with the use of shrimp paste, and the flaked fish topping that typifies this assam-based laksa. You’ll be needing to stop yourself from slurping up all that toothsome soup.
Unit number: B1-K10/K11
Opening hours: Daily 9am to 9.30pm

6. Hey Yogurt

Healthy living can start here at Hey Yogurt, the brand’s first outpost in the East. They use premium Australian dairy here to make the thick yoghurt daily, and claims to be the world’s first handmade yoghurt shake.
The fruit and grains that go into each cup here are specially imported from Australia too! There are also local twists, including the Pulut Hitam ($6.50) and Lychee ($6.50) drinks. For bubble tea lovers looking for a healthier spin, the Brown Sugar Boba Yogurt ($8.80) should hit the spot.

GadoMie, as its name suggests, is the best of both Gado Gado, and the all-time favourite mie goreng.

You can also top up $2 to upgrade your regular fries to Jalapeno Cheese Fries. These come with a generous drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, topped with jalapeno bits for extra heat.
