Punggol Coast Hawker Centre just opened, look out for names like Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee and South Buona Vista Braised Duck, Lifestyle News
Live in the north-east? There's a new dining venue option for you to check out — Punggol Coast Hawker Centre. The 576-seater space, located within Punggol Digital District, opened its doors to the public last Friday (July 25), announced Kopitiam, which manages the venue. Out of the 40 food stalls, there are a few notable brands to check out. One would be South Buona Vista Braised Duck, which has been around for more than five decades. The establishment, which specialises in braised duck, shuttered in early 2024 and has made its comeback at Punggol Coast Hawker Centre. Some hawkers in the Michelin Guide have also called the new food centre home, such as Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee and Michelin Selected Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken. Apart from that, there are young and emerging hawkers to look out for. This includes What The Puff, which specialises in unconventional curry puff flavours; Hakka Leipopo, which sells hearty bowls of thunder tea rice; Hee Hee Hee Steamed Fish & Seafood, which sells steamed Hong Kong-style seafood; and One Soy, which specialises in Soya Milk. Other stalls at the newly opened hawker centre are Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun, Whampoa Traditional Fried Oyster, Kedai Salima, SJ Sickander and Ammal Muslim Food. Looking to save money? Every food stall has value meal options from $3.50 and below. Set meals under the Rice Garden Community Project at the hawker centre's Mixed Rice stall are priced at $1.50 for ComCare cardholders and $2.70 for other concessionary cardholders. Diners can also enjoy $1 kopi-o and teh-o, as well as Kopitiam Signature Breakfast Sets from as low as $2.20. Smarter dining with AI Punggol Coast Hawker Centre also integrates AI solutions to improve dining and operational experiences for both stall holders and patrons, according to Kopitiam. These infrastructure and AI-powered video analytics provide real-time insights, ranging from footfall traffic mapping and service queue management to comprehensive safety monitoring across the hawker centre. The data allows Kopitiam to deploy staff for crowd flow management or cleanliness upkeep during peak hours. With this, hawkers can also understand customer patterns, which will help them make informed decisions regarding manpower planning and to improve service efficiency. Address: 84 Punggol Way #02-55, Singapore 829911 Opening hours: 6am to 10pm [[nid:700101]] melissateo@

Ka-Soh, heritage brand known for its fish soup, to shutter last outlet in Bukit Timah in September, Lifestyle News
Another one of Singapore's longstanding F&B outlets is calling it a day. Ka Soh restaurant, a heritage brand known for its Cantonese-style fish soup, announced the closure of its last outlet at Greenwood Avenue in Bukit Timah via social media on Saturday (July 26). The outlet's final day of operations will be on Sept 28. According to the restaurant, it will not be renewing its lease once it's up. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ka-Soh Restaurants (@kasohsg) At its peak, Ka-Soh Restaurant had three outlets. In addition to the Greenwood Avenue outlet, they also ran a flagship store at Outram which shuttered in June 2022 and a sister eatery, Swee Kee Eating House in Amoy Street which closed down in May 2021. The flagship outlet in Outram, which was located in Singapore General Hospital, had been a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient since 2016. Ka-Soh is known for its Cantonese-style fish soup. The signature creamy and milky broth gets its flavour by boiling fish bones at high heat for several hours, according to Michelin Guide Singapore. It was founded in 1939 as a humble push cart stall in Great World Amusement Park, and currently helmed by Cedric Tang, the third-generation owner. When the flagship outlet in Outram announced its closure in June 2022, the owner attributed it to manpower issues and rising costs, as reported by The Straits Times. Prior to the outlet's closure, the business also took a hit as its sister eatery Swee Kee Eating House in Amoy Street shuttered in May 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic affecting the business' footfall.
