These days got lechon. Hahaha not bad. They lessen the seats behind and add more food. I like it

Giant food court with multiple cuisines to choose from! I was a bit overwhelmed by the choices I had but ended up with delicious food. It’s a little cramped with the seating and tables but you gotta fit as many people as you can, right?

Stepping into Food Republic at VivoCity feels like entering a living museum of Singapore’s food culture. 🏮 The décor is beautifully nostalgic — old-style shopfronts, red lanterns, even a traditional rickshaw tucked in the corner. It instantly transports you to the charm of old Singapore. I had the sizzling pepper rice, and it was both hearty and satisfying — served hot on a cast iron plate with flavorful sauces and a comforting bowl of soup on the side. 🍚🔥 It’s not just about the food here — it’s about the atmosphere. A great spot to enjoy a meal and soak in a bit of heritage. Highly recommend if you’re in Vivo!
