New Five Food Way in Tiong Bahru Plaza

Five Food Way Tiong Bahru Plaza

A Tiong Bahru food guide can become obsolete almost as soon it is published. The once tired looking Tiong Bahru Plaza is undergoing a transformation and adding new F&B options. In recent months, there are new eateries opening there every week or so; even a Tiong Bahru food guide updated on a monthly basis may not be able to keep up with the evolving Tiong Bahru food scene.

As part of its asset enhancement plan, Tiong Bahru Plaza now has a new food wing with the witty name of Five Food Way. All the eateries in the Level 2 Five Food Way in Tiong Bahru Plaza are now opened. The food street offers a diverse range of casual dining choices. Local Bak Kuk Teh, Taiwanese dessert, Korean Bimbibap and Vietnamese Pho as well Japanese, Peranakan, Thai, Western and Chinese food are available at Five Food Way.

Five Food Way Tiong Bahru Plaza

I visited Five Food Way in Tiong Bahru Plaza recently as I wanted to check out NiceDay Desserts. The modern food street looks like a good have to have a quick lunch. Almost all the stalls in Five Foot Way have enticing food and special offers. I ended up eating at Paik’s Bibim primarily because I was attracted to the name (why “Paik” and not the expected “Park”?).

Paik's Bibim

Paik’s Bibim shares the space with Paik’s Coffee. Paik’s Bibim’s main offering is the simple healthy Korean dish – Bibimbap.  In addition to different types of Bibimbap, noodles, their unique Cupbap and side dishes, like steamed egg and rice cakes, are available.

I ordered a Pork Bibimbap ($7.90) at the counter. I paid and was given a buzzer and a receipt with my calling number. When my food was ready, the number started flashing at the digital counter, the buzzer started vibrating and the staff called out my number. With such “confirm plus double confirm”, even the most inattentive person would realise that his number was up.

The bibimbap was served in a large bowl with soup and spicy pickles. It was colourful and attractive. The taste was good too. I thought it was good value at the price of $7.90.

A wide range of coffee, smoothies and desserts are available from Paik’s Coffee.

The website of Paik’s Bibim says Korean Celebrity Chef Jong-won Paik developed the “healthy, delicious and simple modern Bibimbap menus” of the restaurant. That should explain the name of the restaurant.
