Food Republic - one of the famous food court in Singapore, which has best varieties of foods from all range. Mostly are well known hawkers. Best in it is their layout and seatings. It was really comfortable and can be very pack during certain times of the day.
There are three branches currently, with Suntec Convention Center’s branch to be the latest. First was at Wisma Atria @ Orchard, and second was at Vivo City.
Food Republic at Suntec featured interior design which resembles a library, with book shelves design on every stalls. Some of the stalls here are new and might not be available in some of the Food Republic outlets.
Even the tables are design in such away like European concept, with the nice table lamp on. Really like a library. And it was comfortable once you can find a good seats in the corner.
One of my new favourite is the Green Tea Brown Rice. I think this sounds like the name, might not be the correct complete name. But it was delicious and healthy. Its hard to find brown rice on hawker centers, but thanks to this stall. They served it. It could last me for quite sometime.
Other usual famous stalls includes the famous Thye Hong Hokkien Mee and many others.
Nice place to hang out, if you are on moderate budget. Food price are fair enough, not too expensive, but can be slightly higher than normal food court.

Anonymous: Well, that one we can’t blame them though. Its their way of charging things. But things do happen.
Thanks for pointing it out though. As for the people waiting for seats, I would say that this place is for a drop by, eat and leave. Not a good place for eat and have a long sit enjoying the day or a cup of coffee, except on time other than lunch or dinner hours.

Food Republic @ Vivo City - Lau Di Fang - 28 Jun 08 @ 19:00
Food Republic is one place I often avoid. The food is very expensive despite its wide variety. And the place is always packed with curious customers. It’s always difficult to find a seat and when you are eating, people keep watching you finish your food and not mentioning people walking around brushing against you when they look for seats.
We are all sick of eating set meals. Thus my dad bought ala carte food from the curry rice stall instead of the stipulated set consisting of meat, vege & egg.
He ordered one vege side and a fish on a plate of white rice topped with curry gravy. He was charged $7.50.
The receipt read:
Vegetable x1 $1.00
Fish x2 $6.00
2 @ $3.00
Rice x1 $0.50
Total $7.50
Dad explained that he pointed to the chef in white cap an order of vege and an order of fish. However, the lady cashier counted the fish as 2 pieces simply because it was broken into 2 pieces when scooping it from the main dish.
As a typical Singaporean, we didn’t really make a big fuzz out of it to avoid trouble. Dad just paid up unwillingly. We just swear that we won’t ever go back to that stall that’s all…
Poor me gotta hear dad’s nagging all the way home.
Lesson learnt : Just stick with set meals.
