We already know the Beach Road-Bugis district is mapped with good food, from hawker centres dishing out affordable eats, trendy cafes for matcha and brunch, and restaurants serving up diverse cuisines. With the arrival of Guoco Midtown II (Tan Quee Lan Street), this bustling precinct has levelled up even further, bringing a curated mix of 13 exciting F&B concepts—including popular global eateries making their Singaporean debut—under one roof.
Now, these aren’t just your average grab-and-go lunchtime spots one would expect from a mixed-use development, either. Instead, think dinner destinations perfect for winding down after work, weekend feasts with friends, or even date-night picks when you want to impress.
Here are some must-try spots to check out the next time you’re feeling peckish when exploring the Bugis stretch. P.S.: While most of the eateries here are located in Guoco Midtown II, we’ve also spotlighted Guoco Midtown (Beach Road) concepts to spread the love.
Hailing from Haiyan in Zhejiang is Pang Pang, a Chinese restaurant known for their one-pot meat and seafood casseroles. Think of Pang Pang’s signatures as the regional Chinese take on Cajun broils—there are seven casseroles to choose from, each with a hero protein stir-fried in a super savoury blend of spices and secret sauces.
The Signature Crab Pot ($78+) is Pang Pang’s most popular offering—two sizeable crabs are served stir-fried in spices and chilli oil, with the option to add on goodies such as chicken feet ($8.80+), rice cakes ($3.80+), prawns ($9.90+) and more. FYI: Fans of off-cuts will have a field day here with the Chicken Feet Pot ($48+), another crowd favourite.
Also on the menu are appetisers and cold dishes to round off your meal. The former spans conventionally Sichuanese small bites, such as the spicy Braised Pork Intestine Bowl ($15.80+), to fusion fare like Fried Mochi Fritters ($8.80+). As for the latter, expect refreshing, light bites to quell the heat from the casseroles, including a Smashed Cucumber ($3.80+) and Silken Tofu with Century Egg ($8.80+). Note that last orders are at 9:30pm!

Prices stay friendly here, with most of Leong Kee’s offerings coming in under $15—a steal in the Bugis area. Go straight for the Soup Bak Kut Teh (Ribs) ($11.80++) if you like your broth rich and full-bodied—simmered for 6 hours daily, the result is a rich, aromatic herbal soup that warms you from the inside out. Each bowl is also generously loaded with a mix of pork belly and pork ribs, for tenderness and bite. Seal the deal with a side of Braised Tau Pok ($2++) and You Tiao ($2++) for dunking into the broth.
The Dry Bak Kut Teh ($11.80++) is another highlight. The pork ribs are stir-fried with a special blend of aromatics, resulting in a slightly smoky glaze that clings to the cuts of meat, best enjoyed with a side of white rice. Or, order the Frog Porridge ($19++) to share; a winning combination of sweet, fresh frog meat and silky porridge.

Kong Madam may look unassuming from the outside, but step in and you’ll find a cosy, hanok-style restaurant run by native Korean staff. Tofu is the main attraction here, as the soontofu is made fresh in-house daily.
Start off your meal with the Kimchi Pancake ($27.90++), a homely pajeon that’s crisp at the edges, chewy in the middle, and generously packed with prawns, squid, and the like. The pancake also had a pronounced bonito note that tied the seafood flavours together nicely.
The Plain Soontofu ($21.90++) won us over: silken, clean-tasting tofu seasoned in a 100% seawater brine that highlights the soya milk’s mild earthiness. For something bolder, the Seafood Soontofu ($21.90++) packs a punch and comes with a generous amount of seafood, including whole prawns and crab, as well as cubes of house-made tofu.
The charcoal-grilled meats here are a cut above the rest. The Special Sauce Charcoal Grilled LA Beef Short Ribs ($39.90++), AKA marinated charcoal-grilled beef short ribs, are 100% worth the splurge. Beautifully marinated and charred, each fat-laced piece of meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. If you want spice, the Charcoal Grilled Spicy Pork Bulgogi ($29.90++) brings both heat and that delightful grilled profile, best enjoyed with plain rice and banchan. The Beef Sirloin Bulgogi ($29.90++) is also well worth a try, especially if you prefer meat that’s bone-free.

While eat-clean staples such as chicken thigh and salmon are perennially on the menu, The Daily Cut also mixes things up with bolder, fusion-leaning options. At the Guoco Midtown II (Tan Quee Lan Street) outlet, look for Bulgogi-Style Eggplant, Thai Basil Tofu, and Potatoes with Miso Butter in the current Fall season line-up.
With clear portions, protein-forward picks, and a quarterly menu that keeps things interesting, The Daily Cut is ideal for a workday lunch or post-gym fuel. Their Bugis location—the first outside the CBD—is especially welcome, bringing the brand closer to more diners without a trek to Raffles Place or Tanjong Pagar.

Coconut chicken broth has become quite the regular sight on hotpot restaurant menus in Singapore, and for good reason. This Hainanese recipe, typically made with free-range local chickens and fresh coconut water, is hearty and comforting, with its ingredients traditionally meant to alleviate “dampness” in the body. No matter even if you don’t subscribe to the heaty or cooling effects of food, there’s no denying this broth is just plain good. Now, there’s a new place in town to enjoy this Southwestern Chinese classic: 3 Coconut.
Hailing from China, with over 60 outlets across the country, 3 Coconut has made a name for itself with their Signature Original Coconut Chicken Hotpot (from $39.80++), prepared with fresh Pineapple chicken, prized for its tender meat, and water from freshly cracked coconuts brought right to your table. Pair this with the Mixed Meat & Vegetable Platter (from $18.80++), where your classic medley of steamboat greens is paired with slices of marbled beef and pork.
Don’t skip ordering from their array of appetisers, which includes the likes of Hot & Sour Chicken Feet ($9.90++), Chrysanthemum with Black Fungus ($5.80++), and Coconut Sago Cake ($7.80++), also known as Hainanese yi bua.
Finally, if you’re dining in a group, consider adding the Claypot Rice With Cured Meat (from $18.90++) to the order. Crispy-bottomed claypot rice is stir-fried with cured ham and sweet Chinese sausage, then finished with scallions for added fragrance.
From now till 27 October 2025, you can also enjoy 32% off from 11am to 5pm, and 12% off after 5pm. Do note: the promotions are not applicable to set menus, beverages, alcoholic drinks, tea service charges and promotional dishes, and cannot be redeemed in conjunction with other in-store offers.

Aside from the eateries we’ve mentioned, both Guoco Midtown developments pack in plenty more dining gems worth checking out.
For instance, over at the newer Guoco Midtown II (Tan Quee Lan Street), you’ll find Korio’s (#01-21) second outlet dishing out their well-loved deli sandwiches, coffee joints TAG Espresso (#01-04) and Kopifellas Cafe (#01-09), as well as Zouk Group’s chic new French brasserie, The Plump Frenchman (#01-20)—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Plus, spend a minimum of $20 or $50 in a single receipt at either Guoco Midtown location and enjoy free parking on Fridays after 6pm and weekends, making it easier for you to explore everything these two hubs have to offer.
