1. Durian Ninja
The durian stall of the season. Running now until August 2026 while stocks last, with a 2 durian limit per person because demand is that serious. If you only do one thing on this list this month, make it this.

Best Food Around Tampines MRT
Updated 16 July 2026 · every fact checked by the Eventful team
Tampines might be the best food neighbourhood in the east and it does not even try. Between the recurring bazaar beside the MRT, a 24-hour CHAGEE and durian stalls that need queue management, there is always something on.
Everything below is a spot we have actually covered on @eventful_sg, with links to the original posts.
The list
2. CHAGEE Tampines West CC
One of only two 24-hour CHAGEE outlets in Singapore (the other is Jurong Point). Milk tea at 3am is a strange and beautiful thing, and the east got it first.
3. Sushi Plus All-You-Can-Eat
Sushi Plus runs its all-you-can-eat buffet in limited windows, and Tampines One is one of only two outlets that gets it. When we covered it in September 2025 it was $35 nett per pax on selected Tuesdays, 60 minutes per seating. Watch our page for the next round.
4. Tampines MRT Bazaar
The bazaar beside Tampines MRT comes back a few times a year and is consistently one of the better pasar malams in Singapore. We ranked the five best stalls at the August 2025 edition. Expect it to return, and expect us to be there when it does.
5. Ministry of Spud
The loaded baked potato stall that follows the bazaar circuit around Singapore. The chilli beef con carne spud with coleslaw is the order, and the portion is huge. If the Tampines bazaar is on, they are usually in it.
6. Mochi Monster
The viral mochi stall from the Tampines bazaar. It went viral for a reason: genuinely so good, though a bit jelak after the third piece. Budget at least 30 minutes of queueing when they are around.
7. IKEA Tampines Buffet Istimewa
Yes, IKEA. The iconic Buffet Istimewa comes back to IKEA Tampines around Ramadan each year, evenings only, with a discount for IKEA Family members. The 2026 run was February and March, so pencil in early 2027 for the next one.
Quick answers
Is the CHAGEE at Tampines really 24 hours?
Yes, the Tampines West Community Club outlet at 5 Tampines Ave 3 runs 24 hours every day. It is one of only two 24-hour CHAGEE outlets in Singapore.
When is the Tampines bazaar on?
It recurs a few times a year beside Tampines MRT on the EW line. The August to September 2025 edition is the most recent one we covered, and we post each new edition on @eventful_sg when dates drop.
Is Durian Ninja still open?
As of our June 2026 coverage it runs until August 2026 while stocks last, at Block 827 Tampines Street 81, with a 2 durian per person limit.
