One Punggol Hawker Centre Officially Opens On 31 Oct
With many new HDB flats and young families setting up their homes, Punggol has become a buzzing hub in need of amenities to cater to its residents.
Now, there are more makan options in the vicinity thanks to the One Punggol Hawker Centre which officially opened to the public on Monday (31 Oct).
Boasting over 34 stalls and 700 seats, the fairly large space offers a wide variety of food for hungry visitors.

He included several photos of him trying out food from some of the stalls which had already opened. He also disclaimed that more stalls will be opening soon.
Interestingly, one picture showed what appears to be a robot arm pulling kopi in traditional metal pitchers.

If that’s anything to go by, you can probably expect your kopi orders to be made by the cool contraption instead of the usual hawker uncles and aunties. Let’s just hope the drinks will still be as kaw.

In a separate post, the admin of the Uniquely Singapore Hawker Food! Facebook group Mr Philip Lim wrote that there are a total of 34 stalls including “Tuck Shop” by Timbre + Hawkers, which sells drinks and snacks.

Other stalls reportedly serve a wide range of cuisines like Western, Japanese and Korean. You may see Mr Lim’s post to view a list of stalls that are already in operation.
Shortly after the opening, some stalls began seeing long queues, including the famous Eng Kee Chicken Wings.

More options for foodies in the NorthEast
Being a fairly young neighbourhood, Punggol may lack the rich variety of good food that other places boast.
But now with the new hawker centre, foodies in the area as well as from across Singapore will surely be excited to try what One Punggol has to offer.
Who knows, NorthEasties could convince their friends to come over to their side of the island more often for meals together.
