Singapore’s northeastern corner is now more accessible with the opening of Punggol Coast MRT station. Here is our guide on food, drinks, and more around the station.
Opened on 10 December 2024, the station links Punggol Digital District to the North East Line (NEL). It is also within walking distance to Punggol Coast bus interchange, Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and Coney Island.
Punggol Coast MRT Station also takes travellers to the upcoming Punggol Coast Mall, which will have plenty of food. Expect eateries such as Paradise Hotpot, Din Tai Fung, and Sushi Tei. Jollibee is one of several fast-food chains. For cafes, go old school with Ya Kun or dig into ice cream waffles at The Better Scoop. The mall is also home to the future Punggol Coast Hawker Centre and its 40 food stalls.
For now, the closest food to Punggol Coast MRT station is inside SIT. The campus has a food court with 14 stalls serving a range of cuisines from American to hawker favourites. To the north is Maxim Tam Chiak Kopitiam, the namesake coffee shop of a food blogger-turned-restauranteur that offers dishes such as fried rice, roti prata, and bak chor mee. If you are up for a 15-minute walk, The Punggol Settlement is a perennial favourite of the area with restaurants specialising in white bee hoon, zi char, and mookata. Check them out below.

Where to eat around Punggol Coast MRT station
Jump To / Table of Contents
Foodgle Hub @ SIT Punggol Campus
I remember the days when my school canteen had five stalls, four of them bad. Students at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) now have it much better with an airy, light-filled food court with 14 stalls. It has Japanese, Taiwanese, cai fan, beef noodles, prawn noodles, Indian Muslim, waffles and dim sum, even American cuisine with dishes like NY-style pizza and cioppino. For takeaways, the food court does not provide disposable packaging and encourages diners to bring their own containers. Foodgle Hub is only open to SIT students and staff from 11.30am to 2pm on weekdays. The public can dine there outside of those hours.
Daily, 7.30am – 7.30pm
