The eagerly awaited Punggol Coast Hawker Centre is expected to open 25 July 2025, marking an exciting addition to Singapore’s northeast dining scene. Located next to the soon-to-be-completed Punggol Coast Mall and just steps from Punggol Coast MRT, this new hawker centre will offer residents, students, and professionals a modern space to enjoy Singapore’s rich hawker heritage — with the convenience of new-generation features like cashless payments and app integration.

Punggol Coast Hawker Centre: A Modern Take on Local Traditions

Part of a nationwide effort to build and upgrade hawker centres, the Punggol Coast Hawker Centre will be operated by Kopitiam, a well-known brand under the FairPrice Group. It will house over 30 stalls, offering a wide array of affordable and iconic dishes such as laksa, chicken rice, nasi lemak, satay, and more.

As of July 2025, construction of the food stalls is fully completed, and final preparations are being made ahead of the grand opening. The hawker centre will include modern conveniences like cashless and contactless payment options, smart tray return systems, and inclusive dining spaces for families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

Connected Convenience: Near Punggol Coast Mall and MRT

One of the key attractions of the Punggol Coast Hawker Centre is its location. Positioned adjacent to the upcoming Punggol Coast Mall and just a short walk from the Punggol Coast MRT station, the hawker centre is set to become a major community anchor in the Punggol Digital District.

Visitors to Punggol Coast Mall will enjoy seamless shopping and dining experiences — and notably, they’ll be able to use the FairPrice app for in-mall promotions, rewards, and digital payments. With both the mall and the hawker centre being managed by entities under the FairPrice Group, shoppers and diners can expect a highly integrated, tech-enabled experience.

Whether you’re picking up groceries, having a meal at the hawker centre, or exploring retail outlets in the mall, everything will be more convenient and connected thanks to the FairPrice ecosystem.

Punggol Food Court: Serving Diners Before the Hawker Centre Opens

While anticipation builds for the new hawker centre, the nearby Punggol Food Court is currently open and providing an excellent selection of local fare. Located within Punggol, it offers popular dishes like wanton noodles, Thai food, seafood soup, and tze char — making it a solid alternative for residents while they wait for the new hawker centre to launch.

What to Expect at Punggol Coast Hawker Centre

🌟 A Fusion of Heritage & New-Gen Hawkers

Punggol Coast Hawker Centre promises an impressive mix of Singapore’s “lost and found” hawker icons and bold, emerging hawkerpreneurs — all under one roof.

Here’s a taste of what’s cooking:

• South Buona Vista Braised Duck – A legendary 50-year-old stall returns after its closure in 2024. Known for its tender duck steeped in aromatic spices like star anise and cloves, it’s a nostalgic bite of old Singapore.
• Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee (MICHELIN Bib Gourmand)
• Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle (MICHELIN Selected)
• Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun

Emerging hawkerpreneurs are also making waves here with creative concepts such as:

• Over 30 stalls serving a diverse range of local and fusion dishes
• Cashless payment options including PayNow, NETS, and the FairPrice app
• Centralized dishwashing and tray return systems
• Eco-conscious design and reusable crockery
• Family- and senior-friendly seating layouts
• Proximity to shops, the mall, and MRT connectivity

Supporting Hawker Culture in the Digital Age

The Punggol Coast Hawker Centre isn’t just about food — it’s about preserving a piece of Singapore’s cultural heritage. As part of the NEA’s initiative to support hawker culture (recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity), this hawker centre plays a role in keeping traditional dishes accessible and affordable for generations to come.

By blending old-school recipes with modern infrastructure and tech — including FairPrice app integration and smart features — the hawker centre stands as a model for the future of hawker culture in urban Singapore.
