111 Somerset Food Guide: 10 Places For Matcha Desserts, Loaded Poke Bowls And More


111 Somerset food guide


Located next to Somerset MRT Station, 111 Somerset AKA Tripleone Somerset is the more lowkey, less crowded mall in the Orchard Road district. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the food options here are sub-par compared to the offerings at other malls. With that, here’s a list of 111 Somerset food options to check out if you’ve run out of food options at 313@Somerset or Orchard Gateway.


1. Pu3 Restaurant

For scrumptious food with a home-cooked feel, head over to Pu3 Restaurant, which offers generous portions of nasi ambeng among other traditional Malay dishes. You’ll feel right at home while digging into their Ambeng Solo ($11) with a choice of either ayam, daging, or sotong. If you’re coming with friends or family, opt for the Dulang Ambeng Basic ($55), which is enough to feed a family of four!

If you think plant-based food is bland, it’s because you’ve never tried Green Ba, a vegetarian restaurant with their very own hydroponics garden. Some of their self-produced veggies make it into dishes such as the Supreme Bowl ($11.90++), which is served with avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, almonds, and raisins. There’s also the Truffle Aglio Olio ($18.90++) and Pesto Al Fungi ($13.90++) if you’re looking for something a lil’ more filing.

Indonesian food is the main focus here; try their Nasi Bali ($12.90++), a traditional Balinese rice dish also known as nasi campur. They also have desserts such as Keju Coklat Susu ($7.50++)—deep-fried banana with cheese, chocolate, and condensed milk—and Es Teler 77 ($7.90++), comprising fresh avocado chunks, coconut slices, and jackfruit.

There’s also a nice selection of ice cream flavours to choose from, including Rich Chocolate and Ceremonial Uji Matcha. Standard flavours go for $5 a scoop, while premium ones are priced at $5.50.

The piadina, or piada, is a soft and thin Italian flatbread that’s typically stuffed with ham, cheese, and rocket leaves. Good news: you don’t have to travel to Italy for a taste of this traditional snack, as Piadini Italian Streats at 111 Somerset specialises in it. Try their Classica Romagnola ($13), featuring smoked prosciutto, buffalo tomatoes, Parmigiano cheese, and Squacquerone cheese—a soft and creamy cheese made with cow’s milk.

If it’s your first time here, you won’t go wrong with the O.G Salmon ($12.50/$15.50/$19.50) stars fresh salmon chunks marinated in shoyu. You also get seven toppings, along with teriyaki edamame and Poke Theory’s signature umami sauce. This bowl is also available with tuna instead of salmon. Those who don’t eat raw can try their Dashi Chica ($12.50/$15.50/$19.50) instead, which swaps out the fish for sous vide chicken.
