I’ve been living in Tampines for three years now. I must admit, there are just a few good restaurants in Tampines where I live. Most of them are in the malls and usually crowded. More often than not, we go to other places to eat in Singapore just to have a good dining experience or where night life is more exciting. Food in Tampines is really not that bad. As I have mentioned before the Tampines hawker centre has good food stalls that offer the best food in Singapore and it comes really cheap. I often eat noodle dish there but there are also noodle stalls and restaurants in the Tampines Mall that offer heart-warming soup.
One time while we were strolling in side Tampines Mall, I suggested that we have some hearty soup because it was raining all afternoon. I just wanted something hot and will warm me up. We went to the Tonkichi Japanese Restaurant. We already tried eating several times at Tonkichi in Orchard Road and I usually order the ramen there. I was really happy that they have the same food at their branch in Tampines Mall. Aside from the tofu and black pig dishes, the ramen really warmed me up.it was so filling that I skipped dessert. Since we will be visiting our other friend who just gave birth, we decided to bring her a ramen for her to regain her strength back. She was so happy to see us and the ramen we brought her. It a welcoming treat from the hospital food she was eating.
If we are already tired and lazy to go somewhere far to have a good time, there is always Harry’s @ Tampines Grande. It is where we usually unwind after a day’s work. The boys in my group usually hang out there to watch some live sports game playing on their TV. Since I belong to a large group of friends we have gone there about a dozen times just to celebrate about anything from job promotions to losing a job, from engagement to birth of a baby, we have done it all there.
When people I know who do not live in the area ask me what is in Tampines, I tell them, just about everything. It is not about the place actually that makes it special. For me it’s my friends who mostly live here and also my friends who live nearby. Although it is more laidback, it’s more relaxed than the area where I lived before and for that alone makes me like this place even more.
