1. CHAGEE Tampines West CC
A CHAGEE that has been trading 24 hours, which is rare for the chain here. Milk tea at 3am is a strange and beautiful thing. Hours do change, so check before a late-night trip.

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 buffets that only run in windows, 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. Sushi Plus All-You-Can-Eat
Sushi Plus runs its all-you-can-eat buffet in limited windows rather than daily, and Tampines One is one of the outlets that has hosted it. When we covered it in September 2025 it was $35 nett per pax on selected Tuesdays, 60 minutes a seating. Check with the outlet before going for the buffet specifically.
3. Tampines MRT Bazaar
A pasar malam sets up beside Tampines MRT periodically and it is consistently one of the better ones in Singapore. We ranked the five best stalls at the August 2025 edition. There is no published schedule, so watch @eventful_sg for the next one.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. IKEA Tampines Buffet Istimewa
Yes, IKEA. The Buffet Istimewa has run at IKEA Tampines around Ramadan in recent years, evenings only, with a discount for IKEA Family members. The most recent run was February to March 2026. IKEA announces the dates closer to the time, so check their page rather than assuming.
Quick answers
Is the CHAGEE at Tampines really 24 hours?
Yes, the Tampines West Community Club outlet at 5 Tampines Ave 3 has been running 24 hours, which is unusual for CHAGEE in Singapore. Opening hours do change, so check their page before a late-night trip.
When is the Tampines bazaar on?
There is no published schedule. A bazaar sets up beside Tampines MRT on the EW line periodically, and the August to September 2025 edition is the most recent one we covered. We post each new edition on @eventful_sg when dates drop.
Is Durian Ninja still open?
We treat it as finished. The free giveaway at Block 827 Tampines Street 81 started on 19 June 2026, two durians per person, and was reported to run through August, but the stall never announced an end date and had no organiser page to check. We could not confirm it after June, so as of 11 September 2026 it is off this list.
