Tampines MRT Food Fair Returns With Baklava, Tornado Potato And More

Tampines MRT food fair is back till 14 December 2024

Great news for Easties: there’s a huge food fair next to Tampines MRT Station, happening from now till 14 December 2024! For those arriving via train, it’s located right outside the open field, next to the Green Line exit.

Expect food bazaar favourites such as Thai Fried Banana, priced at $4 for six pieces. The same stall is also selling crispy and chewy Sweet Potato Balls (price TBD), Mango Sticky Rice ($6), and Green Mango ($5), great for snacking on while you jalan jalan and shop.

If you love apam balik, head to ZR, where you’ll find these traditional Malay pancakes in trendy fillings such as Nutella ($6) and Oreo ($5). If you want something more old-school, we recommend the Corn Peanut Cheese ($7.50): buttery pancakes loaded with sweet corn kernels, peanut bits, and sliced cheese.

For more sweet treats, visit NB—short for Noah Bazaar—for your baklava and kunafe fix. For those who don’t know, baklava is a popular Turkish dessert featuring filo pastry layers filled with chopped pistachio and sweetened with syrup. These desserts come in an assortment of flavours, so you’ll definitely be spoiled for choice here!
