Good to know

• Getting there: Tampines MRT drops you between Tampines Mall, Century Square and Our Tampines Hub, which is where the mall vegetarian spots are. Tampines East MRT and Tampines West MRT cover the heartland stalls.
• Our Tampines Hub and the Tampines Round Market and Food Centre are worth a look for cheaper stall food.
• Mall restaurants keep normal hours. The coffee shop stalls open early and wind down by evening, with the odd rest day.
• Assume Buddhist vegetarian at the stalls, so no egg, onion or garlic. Ask if a dish matters to you.
• The residential stalls are spread along the Tampines Streets, so check the listing for the exact block before heading out.
• Many stalls here finish by early afternoon: Yuan Man at 2pm, Econ Vegetarian Delight at 2pm and Pu Ti Vegetarian at 1:30pm. For evenings, look at Zi Zai (until 10:15pm), Green On Earth (10pm) and My Happy Belly (9:30pm).
• Allium-free: Saute Saranghae and Green On Earth both state it, as listed in our no onion, no garlic guide.
