New 32-stall Peranakan-themed food hall with HJH Maimunah, salt-baked chicken & fresh oysters

Running daily errands or indulging in some retail therapy at Parkway Parade? Well, if your stomach’s beckoning you for some food, head down to basement 1 and explore the all-new Kopitiam Food Hall, which opened to the public on 31 Mar 2025.

In collaboration with the award-winning The Intan Home Museum, dine in a coastal and Peranakan-inspired ambience as you explore the massive space. Kopitiam Food Hall Parkway Parade boasts 32 stalls and seats 600 people. No matter what cravings you have, I’m sure you’ll find something that’s within your wheelhouse.

Taking centre stage at Kopitiam Food Hall Parkway Parade is Flint Specialty Grill & Bar, which serves an array of flame-kissed meats like Grilled Chicken Chop w Potato Salad (S$9.90) and Grilled Norwegian Salmon Fillet Fillet w Butter Rice (S$16.90).

We tried the Grilled USA Pork Loin w Potato Salad (S$12.90), beautifully presented on a wooden board and complemented with purple cabbage. The meat was surprisingly soft and paired ideally with the homemade apple sauce.

You can also take a seat at the bar stools and chill out over a glass of Tiger Beer (S$11) or Cuba Libre (S$12). If alcohol isn’t your jam, there are mocktails like Shirley Temple (S$8) and Virgin Mojito (S$8) available, too.

Located next door is Donburi. Oyster. Beer selling Fresh Hyogo Oyster (S$11.80 for 3 pieces, S$22.80 for 6 pieces), and Japanese bento sets like Saba Teri Katsu (S$9.80).

Briyani lovers can swing by Nasi Kandar by Chef Syed to feast on plates of Nasi Biryani Ayam (S$8) or Beef Rendang Biryani (S$9). You can also enjoy side dishes like Ikan Goreng (S$4.50) and Ayam Kurma (S$4.50).

To be brutally honest, I was expecting to find an array of curries slathered over rice, similar to the ones I had in Penang Island… hmm.

If you’re with a friend, why not try the luxurious Lamb Shank Biryani Set (S$18) like we did? It features a rich, succulent slab of lamb shank, achar and delicious biryani.

Craving for something hearty? Head to King Grouper Fish Soup for a piping-hot bowl of Fish Soup (S$10/S$12).

I also managed to enjoy my favourite Salt-Baked Boneless Thigh Noodles (S$7.90) at Lam’s Noodle & Chicken. The meat is tender and nicely seasoned, pairing perfectly with the dry mee.

Another dish that I highly recommend is the Ayam Panggang Set (S$8.50) from Bali Bali Indonesia BBQ. It features an aromatic, charred piece of chicken leg slathered in yummy kicap manis, rice drizzled with creamy kurma gravy, a fiery sambal, and a piece of fried tempeh — perfection on a plate.

Old Hup Kee has crowd-favourite hawker fare like Fried Kway Teow (S$6.90/S$8.90), Oyster Omelette (S$10/S$12) and Carrot Cake Yuan Yang (S$7.50/S$8.50).

I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by the Hokkien Mee (S$6.90/S$8.90), but I was! It was the drier rendition with your usual accompaniments like sotong, prawns, pork belly, and pork lard. It was decently flavourful with a little wok hei, and the golden-brown morsels of lard were great.

My colleague, Rachel and I even thought that it was better than our recent experience at Xiao Di Fried Prawn Noodle. Oh well, I hope the standard holds up when you visit, and that it wasn’t just cooked decently well for the media shoot.

Our Muslim friends can look forward to stalls like HJH Maimunah Mini (nasi padang), Fitra Hainanese Rice (chicken rice), Royal Rojak, Tek-Tek Indomie & Nasi Goreng, and Kim Dae Bak Korean.

Kopitiam Food Hall Parkway Parade also has Blanco Court Beef Noodle, Ann Chin Popiah, Royal Rojak, Dan Lao Scrambled Egg, and many other stalls left for you to explore for yourself!
