New eateries at KINEX


If you are looking to dine in the East, check out KINEX, a shopping mall that’s situated just minutes by foot from Paya Lebar MRT Station. KINEX already houses hidden gems such as 800° Woodfired Kitchen, Rotiboy and more. Now, new to the mall, are six new eateries that can’t be found anywhere else in Singapore! So, if you’re ever in the vicinity, consider hopping into KINEX and trying out one of these places.

What’s more, you can redeem Christmas gifts and Festive Workshop passes when you spend at KINEX. These promotions are available from now to 26 December 2021, and are subject to availability.
