It’s no secret that Singaporeans are spoiled by the food options around, especially with the many new cafes & restaurants that open every month. But if you’re looking for somewhere quieter to beat the snaking queues at usual spots, consider popping by Cosford Container Park.
Located down the road from Changi Village, Cosford Container Park has 12 food vendors serving food as varied as zichar and donburi. Plus, it’s located right next to Changi Airport’s arrival runway. Think Punggol Container Park or Artbox, but with the view of planes landing every 5 minutes or so.
The best part? It’s a permanent addition – so this might just be your new favourite hangout.
There are limited parking spaces available within the park itself, with many visitors reporting that they’ve had to park along the roadside just outside the park instead. That’s why public transport is the preferred option to get here.
You can take a bus from 2 MRT stations, Tampines MRT (bus 29) or Upper Changi MRT (bus 2). Alight at the Changi Baptist Ch stop (bus stop 97061). The container park should be a 10-minute walk from there.
Unfortunately, there are currently no halal-certified options at the park. Good news, though, the park recently announced a lookout for halal-certified vendors at the start of this year, so there may be halal options coming your way soon.
The park is indeed pet-friendly, so there’s no need to leave your fur baby behind. Pets in the park just have to be leashed at all times and be cleaned up after.
If you feel that your tummy’s rumblings are beginning to drown out the planes landing nearby, head over to the main dining area to refuel. Those wanting light bites can consider grabbing boneless chicken (from $12.90) and tteokbokki ($7.90) from Eat The Chicken, while savoury tarts (from $2.50) with flavours such as cheese & steak and smoked bacon are available at Tarts Man.
There’s also lok lok if you’re feeling peckish.
Let’s BBQ Bar is a great option if you’re feasting with friends. This stall sells Taiwanese skewers like grilled meats and seafood priced from $1.80.
Since it’s outdoor seating, you’ll need some refreshing drinks to cool yourself down. Plenty of options are available at Creamy Duck, which serves treats for sweet tooths like the Oreo Milkshake ($7.50) and the Real Strawberry Milkshake ($7.50).

A must-have at The Singapore Blue Lobster is their fresh oysters ($22 for 4 pieces), perfect for those who like to start their day with a touch of indulgence. But if you’re after something heartier, their all-day brunch menu has you covered, especially the American Big Breakfast ($15.90), a satisfying spread of sourdough bread, apple coleslaw, and other breakfast staples like baked beans and crispy bacon strips.
For more classic Western offerings, check out The Slice House, known for its wood-fired pizzas. Sink your teeth into the American Dream ($22), loaded with smoked minced beef and their in-house pickles, or go for the Italian Job ($20), a cheesy delight with a traditional tomato sauce base topped with gooey mozzarella and smoked cheddar cheese.

Heartier Western fare can be found at Eastside Golden Grill, with bestsellers like the Tomahawk Steak ($95) and staple Truffle Fries ($10).

If you’re craving a little taste of overseas life, the park also has other international eats from Ishiro and Streets of Bangkok, which serve Japanese and Thai food, respectively. Get rice bowls topped with aburi-ed chashu or Iberico pork (from $10.80) from Ishiro, or relive night markets in Bangkok with Pad Thai with Prawns ($15) and Tomyum Ma Ma Hotpot ($28), which feeds 2 pax easily.
Those wanting to wash down their nosh with a tipple or two can head to LUK’ERS, which boasts expansive views of Changi Airport.
Their menu has something for all alcohol tolerances, from Brooklyn Brewery’s full-bodied Brooklyn Defender IPA ($13) to lighter options like Sombersby Cider ($9).
If you’re looking for a chill place to knock back a few cold beers after a day at work, away from the CBD, you’ll be glad to know that the bar’s open till 11.30pm on weekdays and 1am on weekends. Perfect for unwinding under the light of a thousand stars, if you ask us.
On Wednesdays to Sundays, the park comes alive with a live band playing from 7.30pm-10pm, so you’ll get to experience dinner and a show.
Those worried about jet engines being the main soundtrack for their IG stories can take heart that there’ll be live bands on stage. We found that the sound system here was powerful enough to drown out even the loudest of planes, while being soft enough to be conducive for intimate HTHTs.
Alternatively, the container park also has a whole slew of Instagrammable photo spots to feed your phone with, in case aircraft shots are getting too plane. These range from the huge “Cosford” fluorescent sign stacked atop a shipping container to pretty pastel feature walls.
So, whether you’re looking for somewhere chill and easy to have a weekend brunch, or just want somewhere to unwind with some booze after a hard day at work, consider popping by Cosford Container Park the next time you head out east.
