SingPost Centre (or Singapore Post Centre) is touted as Singapore’s first shopping mall that offers a complete suite of eCommerce logistics solutions – “offering convenience to consumers by providing online e-merchants and offline brick-and-mortar shops all under one roof“. A walk around the newly opened SingPost Centre Mall may suggest that for most Singaporeans the “e” in “eCommerce” stands for Eating. Food places take centrestage and it is easy to forget that the General Post Office is there. There are so many things to eat and the SingPost Centre food options are varied and generally reasonably priced.
SingPost Centre – Home to GPO & More
Located next to the Paya Lebar MRT interchange station, SingPost Centre houses the new General Post Office (GPO) and the Philatelic Store. POSB has a branch there and NTUC Fairprice Supermarket, with a new click and collect station, is in the basement. Golden Village cinema is on the third level. There are a few lifestyle shops and, of course, enrichment centres. Cafes, restaurants, food kiosks and other eating places take up a very large proportion of the retail mall. The foodcourt is on level 3.

Aiyar, no 3rd wave kind of cafe…
True, maybe that is a niche to be filled; or perhaps it is thought that in unfashionable Paya Lebar people don’t care too much about roasting techniques, subtleties of flavor, varietal and growing region 🙂 There are many kopi joints though.
