As if North-Easties don’t have enough shopping haunts already, one more has popped up in their neighbourhood this December. Following the opening of new malls in the vicinity such as Sengkang Grand Mall and Anchorvale Village, Punggol Coast Mall is yet another convenient stop for shopaholics and foodies staying on one end of the Purple Line to saunter in.
From a slew of F&B and retail chains to hit up, to its convenient proximity to the recently opened Punggol Coast MRT station, here’s all you need to know as it fully opens up in the coming weeks.

Punggol Coast Mall is a new shopping complex in the North-East of Singapore that’s going to be up and running in the near future following the opening of Punggol Coast MRT station. From the looks of it, it will take on an open-air concept with a sprawling plaza on Level 1, that’s connected directly to Punggol Coast MRT station on the NEL.
Speaking of which, this means that those living and working in the area at places such as the Punggol Digital District, as well as students of SIT’s Punggol campus, will have easy access to the mall.
Punggol Coast MRT station and consequently, Punggol Coast Mall, will be accessible via a 5-minute walk from the aforementioned destinations, which means they don’t have to wander too far for their meals or shopping sprees.
As far as retail stores go, shoppers can expect to find a couple of familiar chains within Punggol Coast Mall. The mall will be welcoming about 120 tenants, and while they’ve not moved in and set up shop just yet, posters around the mall have revealed a couple of names that you can find on its directory.

These include huge Japanese retailers Daiso and Muji, while Harvey Norman will be the place to head to for IT gadgets and general electronics. The corporate folks trying to sneak in a workout during lunch can do so at Amore Fitness, and there’ll also be a PlayFACTO School here to drop the little ones off at.

Food-wise, go for your midday coffee runs at Luckin Coffee, or swing by the fan-favourite fast food joint Jollibee for lunch. Dim sum lovers can head to Din Tai Fung, while Astons’ Western grub is also available right here. For the perfect comfort food this monsoon season, look no further than the mall’s Paradise Hotpot outlet.

The Punggol Coast Hawker Centre is also projected to open in the near future as well, with 40 food stalls and over 680 seats. In the meantime, if you’re hungry for hawker fare, you can make a quick detour to Foodgle Hub within the SIT campus. It’s a food court that’s quickly gaining traction for its affordable breakfast sets that you can pair with pretty views of Coney Island.
With the addition of Punggol Coast Mall, those residing in the North-East are probably beaming at the sheer amount of shopping options they’ve got nearby. The question now is when those in newer estates can expect to get a similar outbreak of new malls. Yes, we hear you loud and clear Tengah residents, your time will come soon. Hopefully.
