Where to eat in Upper Thomson?
While this isn't a food-focused platform, understanding the dining options in one's neighborhood is still crucial.
Searching for dining options in Upper Thomson? Like many Singaporeans, I'm passionate about food, and Upper Thomson boasts several excellent eateries to explore. From beloved spots like Udders and Columbus Coffee to local favorites such as Singapore Crispy Prata and Indulge (which relocated to Mid View City in July 2021), there's no shortage of culinary delights in this area.
When considering a place to live, amenities like transportation and dining options are crucial factors. Upper Thomson ticks all the boxes in this regard, offering a diverse array of dining experiences to suit every taste.
For those seeking a vibrant hangout spot, Udders and Columbus Coffee are perennial favorites, serving delectable fare and exceptional coffee that draw crowds—even during challenging times like the early days of the pandemic. Alternatively, traditional food enthusiasts may appreciate eateries like Singapore Crispy Prata, Beach Road Scissor Cut Rice, and MingFa Fish Ball.
What gives Upper Thomson its unique charm is the blend of modern and traditional cuisines coexisting harmoniously, evoking a sense of both contemporary flair and nostalgic nostalgia, particularly within the quaint shop-house dining settings.
Venturing slightly off the beaten path, Shunfu Mart, nestled between Upper Thomson Road and Marymount Road, offers a distinctive experience. Unlike the eateries along Upper Thomson Road, which primarily operate in the afternoons and evenings, Shunfu Mart caters to a different demographic—homemakers—by combining elements of a hawker center and a market under one roof.
