Punggol Container Park Guide: Here's How To Plan Your Day

Wondering what can you do at the Punggol Container Park and SIP vicinity in Punggol East? Here's how you can spend your day.

Nestled in one of the most ulu parts of Singapore, the Punggol Container Park adds a touch of quirk to the beauty of the island.

It is located far away from urban civilisation and is an initiative by Social Innovation Park (SIP) to build a more inclusive and sustainable world.

If you are wondering what to do at this famous park and the SIP vicinity at Punggol East, we put together some ideas on the many ways you can spend your day here.

Keep in mind that it is a large open space and the sun can be really brutal on a cloudless day. So don’t forget to pack your sunscreen, sun hats, and umbrellas before you head to this place.

How To Reach Punggol Container Park 

You can reach here either by car or via public transport. 

By car: Remember that there are plenty of parking options. So if you are driving down, it shouldn’t be a problem. 

By public transport: If you are taking the bus, do note that there is a nearby bus stop with bus services 3, 83 and 85 that you can take from Punggol Temporary Interchange. The nearest LRT is Riviera station.

Where To Eat At Punggol Container Park

1. Big Fish Small Fish

Don’t miss the bouquet of Dory Fish & Crisps, which comes at only $7.90. The place serves it in a signature yellow cardboard cone. Armoured in a thin batter, the dory fish retains the perfect moisture, even after being deep-fried. The thinly fried crisps are too addictive. 

If you want a more textured alternative, you can go for the Salmon Fish & Crisps priced at $12.70. Fish lovers will find that unlike the smooth flesh of the dory fish, the salmon dish is a bit flaky and tough, yet still moist.

These fries also come with delectable dips and sauces, from cheese and salted egg, to curry mayo.

Location: 50 Punggol East, #01-K35 Singapore 828826

Timing:  Sunday to Thursday: 12 pm – 12 am

2. Pump Station

Helmed by Macs Fong, an ex-convict, this place looks fun with its classic retro concept. 

Pump Station offers an exciting array of Asian fusion dishes. Other than offering 100 kinds of beers, speciality drinks and liquor, don’t forget to try their awesome sesame wings, smoked duck spaghetti and even their salads. 

Location: 50 Punggol East, Singapore 828826

Timing: Monday  to Saturday: 5 pm – 1 am, Sunday: 3 pm – 1 am

3. D’Grill

They serve unique fusion dishes in hotplate style, deep-fried or pasta. Among the several dishes that you’d want to get your hands on, the Grilled Hotplate Sambal Stingray priced at $13 is one that will not let your hungry soul down. 

Location: 50 Punggol Street #01-K38, Singapore 828826

Timings: Sunday to Thursday: 4.30 pm – 12 am, Friday & Saturday: 4.30 pm – 1 am.
