KOPITIAM @ T3

A big food court but the queues can be pretty daunting during the weekends and if you were to come in groups of more than 4.
Whenever I am here, I would frequent the stall selling the fried carrot cakes and the local Indian delight stall selling appoms. The fried carrot cake serving is good for a person and the fragrance of the eggs is what keeps me coming back for me. Coupled with soft texture of the carrot cake, it’s a perfect match for me anytime.
The appom, my childhood favorite, is made of flour which I believe is slightly fermented to give it a slight tinge of sour. It is made roundish and pan baked to perfection with crispy edges and a soft and tender center. They usually match that with orange colored sugar and grated coconut making it another beautiful combination. When I first introduced my wife to what I ate as a child, she was skeptical. Now she swears bully it and looks for it whenever we are near an Indian stall. But do note that not al Indian stall that sells pratas and like know how to do it.

4star as a foreigner. Easy access if you are transitioning to a local flight. Good amount of local and some foreign selection. Would definitely come back again. I think the price is a little higher but not that much more than the food courts at the malls but definitely more than local market’s Foodcourt. Would definitely recommend

While waiting for my flight, I was pleasantly surprise to find stalls with regular prices available in the B2 basement.
At $ 2.50 for a breakfast set of toast, eggs & tea/​coffee or sandwich & tea/​coffee, it was nice break from the usual exorbitant airport meals. I was tempted to try the fresh juices but unfortunately they were not available at the time I was there (early morn)
Judging from the mostly local crowd, I’d imagine this restaurant caters to workers from the airport or from offices closeby. Its proximity to the train/​bus station makes it accessible.
You can also access the free airport wifi from here.

As one of the many food court chains in malls all over Singapore, Kopi @ T3, opened by Kopitiam Investment Pte. Ltd., is rather similar to all the rest in terms of food quality and prices. There is quite a good selection of local food with just about any Singaporean dish I’d expect in an average food court, from chicken rice to fish noodles to the newer Korean food. There are 20 food stalls offering a fair variety of local cuisine for the homesick locals who have just returned from overseas or soon-​to-​be-​homesick locals preparing to overseas, or the foreigners who would like a taste of local cuisine. The prices are also typical of such food courts and airport food prices, costing $ 4.50 for a bowl of Mee Hoon Kway which is slightly higher than your average neighbourhood coffee shop.
The Mee Hoon Kway I had was not spectacular and not cooked with very much care. It ended up looking very different indeed from the photographed picture as there was hardly any sight of the egg that had been tossed and mixed in, and the minced meat. The tray and bowl was laid before me before the bowl was filled and the entire mixture quite roughly poured in, splattering soup all over me. However, it was cheaper than I had expected, as the price stated $ 5.50 but the lady insisted it was $ 4.50.
I did not finish it as it was quite a large serving of the kway. Though it was not particularly good, it was pretty decent quality. I suppose I would still return if I crave local food at the airport again although maybe not the ban mian stall.
