Discovering Bugis Food Wonders


Going to Bugis but not sure which restaurant to visit or what food there is? Well, you don’t have to worry because Bugis is a wonderful place that offers a huge variety of cuisines — we’re here with our Bugis food recommendations.

Asian Delight: At Madame Fan (The NCO Club), you're transported to a world reminiscent of old Shanghai. With Chef de Cuisine Mike Tan at the helm, this establishment beautifully melds tradition with modern touches.

Western Cravings: For a slice of France without leaving Singapore, Saveur (Purvis) is our go-to spot. Have you tried their Saveur Pasta? It's a game-changer. And their signature Duck Confit? It's nothing short of culinary artistry.

Middle Eastern Flavors: Our frequent visits to Sofra Turkish Cafe & Restaurant in Shaw Tower speak volumes. Their pide (Turkish pizza) with its warm, gooey cheese is simply irresistible. Having graced the Turkish food scene for 16 years, their dishes remain a testament to quality and affordability.

And that's just scratching the surface! Don't miss out on staples like Xiao Long Kan and Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao in Bugis Junction or perhaps Suki-Ya and Rocku Yakiniku in Bugis Plus.
