This new branch will have 15 stalls and can seat up to 264 pax.

Punggol Coast Hawker Centre: 5 stalls to visit for handmade puffs, affordable seafood and more
The spanking new Punggol Coast Hawker Centre officially opened on Jul 25. Located a stone's throw away from Punggol Coast MRT station, the 576-seater food haven with 40 stalls is outfitted with cashless payment systems at every stall and a high-tech queue system powered by AI video analytics. This system maps foot traffic, tracks queue times and even spots safety hazards like spills or smoke, so staff can swoop in to clean or clear crowds. Stall holders get access to real-time customer flow data, helping them plan manpower and speed up service, to help customers' dining experience be smoother and safer. The centre also boasts a curated mix of heritage favourites, Gen Z hawkerpreneurs and Michelin-recognised eateries. Here are five worth checking out. 1. WHAT THE PUFF! Don't be fooled by the cheeky name: These Gen Z hawkers are serious about curry puffs. Run by 23-year-old Lim Yuan Ming, a university student juggling finance classes and food biz duties, the stall was first launched at Changi Village Hawker Centre with two partners, his brother and their friend. Their puffs are handmade daily, offering both traditional flavours like curry chicken and sardine, as well as creative spins like black pepper chicken and hae bee hiam (dried shrimp). They've since expanded the business to Bedok and now bring their flaky, generously filled pastries to the northeast, where they're pulling the second-longest queue in the hawker centre, according to a PR rep. Prices here remain the same as their other two hawker stalls: S$2 for the OG curry and sardine puffs and S$2.50 for jazzed-up flavours like cheesy curry and black pepper chicken. 2. HEE HEE HEE STEAMED FISH & SEAFOOD Started by fishmonger pals Jack Lim and Sky Sim, aged 40, this humble steamed seafood stall first made waves at Blk 79 Circuit Road Food Centre when it opened in 2022. Their access to Jurong Fishery Port gives them first dibs on fresh seafood at wholesale prices – savings they pass on to customers. Their cooking skills? Self-taught via YouTube and customer feedback. Inspired by the success of popular stall Hanjiang Seafood Square also on Circuit Road, the duo launched Hee Hee Hee Steamed Fish & Fish Soup to offer affordable, a la carte steamed seafood dishes. Steamed Hong Kong-style (soya sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine), their signature dishes include grouper (S$10) and golden pomfret (S$12). They also serve prawns, crayfish and sambal seafood, depending on daily availability. 3. SINGAPORE FRIED HOKKIEN MEE & SEAFOOD Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee, a Michelin Bib Gourmand winner from Whampoa Food Market, has been frying up its signature dish since 1974. According to Facebook user Peter Tay, the heritage stall drew a whopping 50-minute queue on opening day. They serve the wet style of fried Hokkien mee. Expect a gooey, wok hei-packed plate of yellow noodles and bee hoon, topped with prawns, squid, pork belly and a dollop of their signature housemade sambal for that extra kick. At Whampoa, prices range from S$5 to S$15 but at the Punggol outpost, you get three fixed options: S$5.20, S$7.30 and S$9.40. 4. HOCK HAI (HONG LIM) CURRY CHICKEN This beloved stall is known for its comforting bowls of curry chicken noodles and satay bee hoon. The brand dates back more than 20 years and was first set up near Bedok Interchange. The family business is now run by the nephew of the owner, who took over in 2016 and expanded to Fernvale before arriving in Punggol. Prices here start at S$3.50 for a basic shredded chicken noodle, while heftier bowls of curry chicken or satay bee hoon go for S$5.50 to S$7.50 – just a little more than the OG Bedok branch, but on par with Fernvale. 5. SOUTH BUONA VISTA ROAD DUCK RICE After quietly shuttering its standalone eatery at Desker Road last year due to rental hikes, beloved South Buona Vista Braised Duck has resurfaced at the brand-new Punggol Coast Hawker Centre. The same signature boneless duck rice is served, now from a modest hawker stall run by married couple, Ang Chiap Teck and Lily Lim. Queues reportedly hit over an hour on its opening day, the longest in the hawker centre, and the stall still boasts the longest lines to this day. According to Facebook user Peter Tay, the duck 'tastes just as good', but the sambal kang kong could be spicier. The bird comes with two dips: A fragrant hae bee hiam sambal and tangy chilli-vinegar sauce.

Dave Pynt – the art of the pivot
[SINGAPORE] For someone who keeps adding more and more F&B projects to his portfolio, chef-restaurateur Dave Pynt has an exceedingly simple philosophy: 'I want to do cool s*** with cool people', he says in his trademark unfiltered manner. It's hard to keep track of what Pynt is up to besides running his thriving flagship barbecue eatery Burnt Ends and bakery in Dempsey Hill and Meatsmith in Telok Ayer. Besides consulting with the Waldorf Astoria hotel brand to open The Ledge by Dave Pynt in Ithaafushi Maldives (with a second one signed for its Bali property which opens in 2027), Pynt collaborated with luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet (AP) to operate its first cafe in the world at Raffles Hotel, and opened a Burnt Ends bakery in Audi's flagship showroom in Cross Street. He is also currently in talks to open a restaurant with a fashion brand at its new flagship store. And hopefully by the first quarter of 2026, he will open his own brewery-pub at Resorts World Sentosa, serving pizza and his exclusive line of beer crafted onsite. Burnt Ends Bakery. PHOTO: BURNT ENDS Not all his projects carry the Burnt Ends or his personal branding – his collaboration with AP, for example, is a white label project in that he acts as consultant and operator with no association with his name. It's an arrangement he's perfectly fine with because 'I enjoy the partnership and the creative process and our focus is on giving them a really good product'. He's come a long way since 2013 when he answered a call from Unlisted Collection's Loh Lik Peng to come to Singapore and open Burnt Ends. It subsequently earned a Michelin star and was consistently rated as one of the most successful restaurants in Singapore. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up But transitioning from chef to businessman has been an 'extremely steep learning curve', Pynt concedes. 'The biggest thing is contracts. We didn't really know how to deal with lawyers and if you don't manage them properly their fees can shoot you off really quickly.' But he had plenty of expert advice to help him through the months of negotiations with Waldorf Astoria, which involved many levels of approval, even for the Bali project. 'Even though we already had the Maldives contract, this (Bali) one still took around eight or nine months.' While he's been happy with the opportunities that have come his way, Pynt says that his projects are on a 'very case by case basis and we're not necessarily hunting for expansions. If everything works out, great, but if it doesn't, we're very happy with what we've got.' For him, it's all about relationship building and 'doing the right thing by them and also for us'. For example, when Covid-19 struck, the Maldives restaurant had to be shut down. 'We agreed on a 'pause package' because we didn't feel it was fair to put unnecessary costs on the hotel when they weren't able to operate.' It's also the reason why, despite Burnt Ends' success, he hasn't parted with Unlisted Collection to strike out on his own. 'Why do I want to f*** that up over a little bit of greed?' He says. 'When we came to Singapore we had nothing, and Peng and our other partners took a very big risk on the (Burnt Ends) project and fully supported it. It's done well and he's allowed us to grow and been very supportive.' For all his success with Burnt Ends, Pynt has also made his fair share of mistakes. The main one was trying unsuccessfully to grow the Meatsmith brand. Besides the main store in Telok Ayer, the group opened a branch in Little India just before Covid-19. As it was already not doing well before the pandemic, he decided to cut his losses and close it. 'We tried to expand the brand but it didn't really work.' Now, his latest pet project is his brewery in RWS, which will be a 150-seat pub close to the Singapore Oceanarium, and house a 250-hectolitre brewing centre for large scale production and a 200-litre microbrewery for small-batch artisanal beers. 'We're going to have to invest a pretty significant sum but because of the lease terms and partnership rates that we've got with them, I'm hoping it can go well. With 19 million tourists a year going to RWS, can we attract a percentage of them? I'm pretty confident we can.' F&B industry wise, Pynt expects things to get worse before they get better. 'Spending power is down, yet there's been a significant increase in outlets. Just this year alone there's been a net growth of 400 establishments in six months, with no increase in tourists or population.' As for his own group, 'We're not doing as well as we wanted… but we're doing well enough that we're not super worried.' And ultimately for him, it's about doing what he loves, with the right people and keeping the fire going for as long as he can.
