SINGAPORE. Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) is boosting its culinary and shopping offer by welcoming a host of new brands in the coming weeks.
Nine food & beverage outlets, offering a variety of cuisines from Chinese, Japanese, Western and Halal options, and two retail stores add to Jewel’s already eclectic tenant mix.
Fans of Korean fashion can check out Singapore’s first exclusive MARHEN.J retail store which opened on 4 August.
Brought in by homegrown ecommerce brand Sift & Pick, the Korean cult fashion brand carries all-occasion bags in canvas, sustainable nylon and its latest apple leather (certified vegan) series.
New designs will be available at Sift & Pick concurrently with those available in Korea, so shoppers can get their hands on the latest designs fresh off the shelves at Jewel.
Fashion and lifestyle store Turtle opened its first duplex store on 13 August. This flagship store retails an extended range of fashionable jewellery accessories, home decoration pieces, phone accessories, toys, quirky souvenirs and gift items.
The new Tai Er brand, a first in Singapore, topens its doors today. The restaurant’s signature sauerkraut fish (酸菜鱼suan cai yu) is a popular Sichuan dish in China and packs a punch with its spicy and sour broth. The established chain seeks to wow Singaporeans with its rejuvenated rendition of the traditional sauerkraut which has a 3,000-year history.
Another new entrant to the Singapore dining scene, Mamma Mia! serves up authentic Italian fare with its artisanal handmade pastas, paired with the freshest ingredients and made à la minute.
Other than the classic Italian pastas, fusion dishes with a twist include linguine with Japanese mentaiko-tobiko cream sauce, mee pok with chicken chunks and onsen egg, as well as linguine with spicy chicken katsu and Japanese curry. An entire range of anti-pastis, risottos, and delightful deserts such as lemon meringue tartlet and caramel panna cotta fill the menu.
Monster Planet and Poulet Bijou, famed for their Japanese curry and French Roast chicken respectively, add to more than 20 halal-certified food options currently available at Jewel. Monster Planet opened on 19 August and Poulet Bijou will commence operations in October.
Poulet Bijou will spot a new look at its Jewel outlet, decked out with hints of contemporary blue, tropical and botanic motifs. Its all-day dining menu will be expanded to include exquisite French favourites such as savoury French crepes and sweet galettes.
Fans of Hong Kong’s well-known ‘cha chaan teng’ Tsui Wah living in the East will now be able to easily savour its popular Cantonese delights such as the signature toast and milk tea as the chain expands in Singapore with its first outlet in the East at Jewel in October.
More recently, NY Verden Bar & Grill made its debut in the country with the commencement of operations in Jewel on 25 June. It serves up modern European dishes with the freshest air-flown ingredients cooked with wood-fire. At the heart of this restaurant is an open-concept kitchen featuring two gastronomic Josper grills, giving patrons a visual treat of food being prepared as they dine.
Jewel’s Basement 2 cluster also sees three new additions – Aburi-En, SF Fruits (both opening by September) and Yole (opened 1 July).
Jewel Changi Airport Devt CEO Hung Jean said: “Jewel continues to seek out new-to-market and new-concept stores, from both local and international brands, to bring novelty to the Jewel experience for our guests, whether as a first-time or repeat visitor. We welcome brands who choose Jewel as their international launchpad and are delighted to have these new dining and retail stores onboard to refresh the Jewel experience.”
Minor Food Group Singapore CEO Dellen Soh said: “We’re delighted to expand our presence in Jewel with Poulet Bijou and Mamma Mia, in addition to our current Sanook Kitchen offering. With its unique retail spaces and wondrous ambience, Jewel is an ideal location for us to showcase our many brands under one roof. We hope our range of staple favourites and new brand will present Jewel shoppers with an enticing dining experience.”
Jewel has just launched the Changi Rewards e-Voucher Flexi (earned through the loyalty programme by an accumulation of points). Jewel is the only mall in Singapore where shoppers can enjoy rewards from two loyalty programmes – Changi Rewards and CapitaStar in the same purchase.
