Best kiosks in Singapore of 2019
With rental costs reaching an all-time high, more F&B owners are turning to smaller spaces to dish out tasty nosh. Coupled with our strong dabao culture, kiosks are becoming increasingly popular amongst those who want to eat on-the-go, or don’t mind sacrificing ambience for speed.
These five best food kiosks in Singapore prove that you can get delicious food—including wagyu sandwiches and Korean flatbread—from that unsuspecting corner shop at your favourite mall.
1. What’s Pide
Hailing from South Korea, What’s Pide is a new joint at China Square Central which dishes out Korean flatbread stuffed with the likes of bulgogi beef, edamame balls, and soft-shell prawns. Unlike their Mediterranean counterparts, the pide here are smaller and spongier.
This makes the bread great for soaking up the potent flavours of the fillings. Although most of the items are delicious in their own right, the tender Mrs. Park ($9) is the safest option for first-time diners. The bun is packed with marinated bulgogi beef and caramelised onions for a strong punch of savoury and sweet flavours.

2. Gyu & Tori
Whoever said you need to pay exorbitant prices to enjoy wagyu beef hasn’t visited Gyu & Tori. Located at Paragon, the kiosk sells a slew of wagyu dishes with their Original Wagyu Patty ($9.90) being one of the more popular items. A slab of panko-coated wagyu patty is plopped between two equally thick slices of buttered toast, and finished with tonkatsu sauce. The result is a robust and fatty sandwich that sends waves of umami in each bite. Each order also comes with one side which includes aglio olio, mac & cheese, and soba.

3. Papa Ayam
Fans of all things spicy should head down to Papa Ayam and give your taste buds a workout with their fiery ayam geprek. The Ayam Geprek Original ($6.80) features fragrant rice topped with keropok, and chicken cutlets drenched in chilli padi sambal that’s made a la minute. The dish’s spice level can be adjusted from Level 1 to Level 15, though we wouldn’t recommend going past Level 8 lest the chilli overpowers the juicy chicken.
True aficionados of spiciness will wanna take on the WTF Challenge ($13.70) where the sambal is dialled all the way up to a tongue-obliterating Level 27. Just finish it within five minutes and the meal will be free!

4. Banh You, Banh Mi
Operated by Singaporean-Vietnamese couple, Banh You, Banh Mi is one of the very few Muslim-owned banh mi places in Singapore. Made with fluffy baguettes sourced from a Vietnamese baker, the banh mi here are stuffed with an assortment of locally inspired fillings such as Rendang Beef ($7.50), Butter Chicken ($7.50), and Salted Egg Chicken ($7.50).
The rendang banh mi was our favourite with its soft and juicy meat, laced with curry spices that result in redolent flavours.
