I absolutely loved the food here! I had the spicy beef noodles, black pepper chicken noodles and the knife cut beef noodles. This was all fantastic and my favourite dish was the spicy beef brisket noodles!
Food Opera, by Food Republic, used to be the Rolls Royce of Food Courts but has aged and no longer as exciting. But taking down the 2 level escalator from B2 remains an experience.
Deco was inspired by the timeless British colonial decor style in Singapore, the is a sprawling 19,000SQF food court. What we like:
1) Padang Padang Indonesian Cuisine
2) Ah Chew Yong Tau Hoo
3) Jia Jia Le rice stall
4) The beverage stall that does Fanta Icees
5) Shou Yi fried fritters
Prices are a little expensive but it’s at ION and Orchard Road rents are expensive
Certainly a little pricier than most food courts but some interesting and yummy options. The Tekong fish soup was quite tasty, with fresh fish as well as fried fish. Their fried fish was not the inferior Dory like nearly all the fish soup stalls but snakehead or toman , more expensive and a much better eating fish.
I was disappointed with the kaya pastry. I think it would have been much yummier if it was fresher , but quite a hard crunch and the filling was just sweet, not kaya custardy. Not cheap either.
However, for a food court in the most prime of locations, one should not complain.
Of course seating is a big issue but one does have to wait for value for money in air con comfort in the heart of Orchard Road.
Very cool food court with tons of options, mostly Asian cuisine but some western options as well. We went for the duck from Kam's and bubble tea from another shop. The roast duck was very nice.
Located at the heart of Singapore’s biggest shopping district, Food Opera
Despite many new additions to their list of stalls, the classics, such as Scotts Hwa Heng Beef Noodles, have remained so you have the option to try the new stalls or re-visit your all-time favourite local street food at Food Opera. It has interesting interior design such as the furniture and décor that resembles that of the British colonial period.
Most of the food will take you down memory lane. Some of the food is a miss and a hit. The food ain’t going to eat itself so head down to Food Opera today! Although there are many reasons to visit the newly-renovated Food Opera.
recommended list of food
1. riverside indonesia bbq - their sauce super shiok, it has a strong bbq fragrance & the perfect balance of sweet and salty, i prefer the chicken over the fish as it’s more tender
2. carrot cake & hokkien mee - a lot of prawns!! always long queue but it’s worth the wait bc it moves fast also
3. takoyaki - a lil pricey but good for ur a quick fix!
