Hidden between Punggol Central HDB blocks and the Punggol Waterway, Waterway Point's B1 Plaza has turned into a slice of Taipei for 10 days — running through to Sunday 17 May 2026. Red paper lanterns strung overhead, neon shopfront signage in traditional Chinese script, "TAIWAN FLAVOUR STREET" calligraphy at the entrance, and a half-circle of food stalls slinging the kind of Taiwan night-market classics that normally require a 4-hour Scoot flight.
We dropped by on Tuesday night (13 May) to confirm stall lineup and capture real prices on the ground — the 2026 edition is genuinely the most-decorated yet of the three Waterway Point has hosted, and pricing is reasonable for an organised pop-up. Confirmed stalls + prices we photographed:
Taiwan Crispy Chicken (台灣小吃 / 鹽酥雞) — Chicken Chop S$7.00 with three add-on flavours: Honey Chicken Chop, Salted Crispy Chicken, Sesame Seed Crispy Chicken. The signature deep-fried Taiwanese street-food snack, served in paper bags with toothpicks.
Flame-Grilled Beef Cube Rice (火焰骰子牛) stall — Braised Pork Rice S$6.00, Beef Cube Rice with Pepper Beef, Nacho Beef, Oyster Mee Sua S$5.00, Shark Soup. The most-Instagrammed stall when we visited — the open-flame torching of the beef cubes draws a constant crowd of phone cameras.
Other stalls confirmed on site (typical prices, may have minor variation between stalls):
- Stinky Tofu (臭豆腐) — the polarising classic. Deep-fried with garlic sauce + pickled cabbage. From S$7.50.
- Crocs-Shaped Egg Waffles — yes, Crocs-shoe shaped (a viral Taiwanese night-market trend), S$6 per pair. The kid-magnet of the market.
- 3% Taiwanese Milk Tea — jasmine green or white peach oolong, S$4 for 500ml, S$7 for 700ml.
- Sweet Potato Balls — handmade, fresh-fried, S$5 for ~10 pieces.
- Peanut Ice Cream Rolls — vanilla ice cream + shaved peanut brittle + cilantro, wrapped in popiah skin, S$3+ per roll.
Critical timing: today is 14 May; the market closes Sunday 17 May. That's 3 nights left. Weekday Wed/Thu evenings are your friend — queues are manageable, all stalls fully operational. Weekend nights (Fri/Sat/Sun) will be brutal between 6:30pm–9pm with 30–45 minute queues at the top stalls. Sunday closing night will be the busiest of all.
Getting there: Waterway Point is connected directly to Punggol MRT (NE17) via an underground link — you walk out of the MRT into the mall basement and the Plaza is straight ahead. 30 minutes from the city centre by MRT. Free entry, no booking, cash + PayNow at most stalls.
If you've ever queued at Shilin, Raohe, or Ningxia night markets in Taipei and missed that buzzing-but-organised street-food energy, this is the closest you'll get in Singapore for the next few months.
