We’ve heard the “East side, best side” refrain one too many times, but what if the saying really lives up to its claim? Everyone already knows that Tampines Interchange is a one-stop wonder of convenience and variety; Century Square is adding on to its offerings with 4 new tenants, and a slew of opening deals to check out.
GV Century Square is here with an additional 6 screens on Level 5 of the mall, for Easties to have more options for date night and family outing ideas.
Plus, alternative cinema lovers will be happy to know that this new location, the group’s 18th, will be a more boutique-style destination, offering a broader selection of big screen content like K-pop concert movies alongside mainstream hits, as well as hosting talks with movie casts.
In celebration of this opening, GV Century Square is rolling out all-day student tickets, priced at $7. These are available Mondays to Fridays from now till 27th March 2026.
Young’uns aside, GV hasn’t forgotten everyone else too, with all-day senior tickets at $5 each on weekdays. Both of these promotions are not valid on the eves of public holidays, as well as public holidays.

Chinese food is having its moment in Singapore, and Golden Chopsticks, a new opening at Century Square, promises the best of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan all in one meal, with what they call a Nanyang influence.
But we get it – sometimes all you want is a quickie lunch, so the $12.80 weekday lunch promotion at Golden Chopsticks has you sorted. What this gets you is 1 meat dish, 1 vegetable dish, as well as rice, seaweed egg drop soup, plus free-flow snacks and ice cream.

Whether you’re team meat or fish, they’ve got options to suit – there’s their signature Passion Fruit Sour Soup Fish, Spicy Fried Chicken, or Stir-fried Sauerkraut & Beef to choose from, alongside veggie dishes such as Hand-torn Cabbage or Dry-fried String Beans, making for a super satisfying midday treat.
No discussion about nasi lemak in Singapore can take place without mention of Dickson Nasi Lemak, especially if you’re a fan of that famous KL nasi lemak spot. And Easties, you can now get your fill at their grab-and-go stand at Century Square – perfect for post-work dinners after you alight at Tampines MRT Station.

Beloved for their uber aromatic coconut rice and ayam goreng berempah, AKA spiced fried chicken, Dickson Nasi Lemak is throwing in a free otah with every order of nasi lemak from now till 8th March 2026 – but there are only 50 redemptions daily.

Another new entrant at Century Square is Spectacle Hut, one of Singapore’s largest homegrown optical retail chains. Parents, you’ll be glad to know that their new Century Square store is home to the brand’s proprietary myopia management service, offering a full suite of solutions to help you and your family navigate short-sightedness.
Think: structured follow-throughs with 6-monthly myopia tracking, personalised care plans, and specialty lenses that you can consider for your child. And to inject some fun into the experience, there’s a dedicated kids’ corner with a wide selection of children’s eyewear, too.
We can’t speak for you, but we happen to think that the East side just got a whole lot better. If you’re an Eastie who never wants to leave, we don’t blame you, because Century Square’s new openings sure make life more exciting and convenient.
