What is the best food near Tanjong Pagar MRT?
Tanjong Pagar is known for its Korean strip along Tanjong Pagar Road and Tras Street, home to Hansik Dining Collective, Seoul Noodle Shop and Bae Sik Dang. It also has Japanese favourites like Hamburg Steak Keisuke, Ramen Keisuke Tori King and Hakata Ikkousha. For cheap eats, Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market & Food Centre has Rolina's Bib Gourmand curry puffs and Ipoh Zai prawn noodles.
How much does lunch cost near Tanjong Pagar MRT?
Hawker food is the cheapest: Rolina curry puffs cost from around $2, Ipoh Zai prawn noodles from around $5.50, and Bami Express banh mi from around $5. Unatoto's unagi bowls in Guoco Tower start from around $9.80++, and ramen at Tori King starts from around $13.90++. Sit-down Korean, Sichuan and pizza restaurants usually cost from around $20 to $50++ per person.
Is there halal food near Tanjong Pagar MRT?
Yes. Dickson Nasi Lemak in Icon Village (12 Gopeng Street #01-89/90) is MUIS halal-certified, and so is the Kueh Ho Jiak stall (#02-20) at Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market & Food Centre. In the Guoco Tower basement, Wok Hey, ALC Rice Bowls and Stuff'd are also listed in the MUIS directory. Most Korean and Japanese restaurants on Tanjong Pagar Road and Tras Street are not halal-certified. Check the MUIS directory before you go, because certification can change.
What's open late near Tanjong Pagar MRT?
Hansik Dining Collective on Tras Street is open 24 hours, and Bae Sik Dang serves Korean BBQ until 5am. Papi's Tacos, Burma Social and many of the Korean restaurants on Tanjong Pagar Road serve until 11pm or later. For dessert, Elijah Pies and Dopa at Tanjong Pagar Plaza stay open until 10pm to 10:30pm.
Which Tanjong Pagar MRT exit is best for food?
Exit A (Peck Seah Street) is the most useful. It leads to Tanjong Pagar Plaza and its food centre, Icon Village, 100 AM, Oasia Hotel Downtown, Tras Street and Tanjong Pagar Road. Exit J goes straight into the Guoco Tower basement for Chef Lam's, Unatoto and the food hall. Exit C (Anson Road) serves International Plaza.
Do I need to book restaurants in Tanjong Pagar?
Hawker stalls and the Tanjong Pagar Plaza shops are walk-in only, and popular stalls like Rolina can sell out before closing time. For dinner at sit-down restaurants on Tanjong Pagar Road and Tras Street, such as the Korean BBQ joints, booking ahead through the restaurant is worthwhile, especially from Thursday to Saturday.
