Get your protein fix at S.O.S Chicken, a relatively new addition to Tampines 1.

Pair your meat with their wide range of sauces at $2++ each, including Mushroom Cream, Sambal Ijo, Butter Chicken, and Spicy Mala.

For fresh and affordable udon in the East, look no further than Haruyama Udon, tucked away in the basement of Tampines 1. They offer the TikTok-viral Tenzaru ($16++), where cold Himokawa udon sheets come with two dipping sauces and a side of tempura. We preferred the Spicy Basil Chicken ($16++) instead, which came with springy Hoto udon and minced chicken spiked with Thai basil, topped with an onsen egg. Otherwise, those who love dry noodles can consider the Ebi Yaki Udon ($16++), featuring stir-fried Sanuki udon.
