Where to eat at Singapore Airport?! 🇸🇬 Trying Changi Airport Hidden Staff Canteen Food Court

Singapore Airport Food Court at Singapore Changi International Airport - Do you think it is expensive to eat at the airport? I personally think it is too expensive to eat at the airports and I’m always looking for an economical way to eat when I travel.
So, in today’s episode, I’m going to show you a secret food court in Changi International Airport ‪@changiairport‬ in Singapore. This food court is primarily for employees of Changi International Airport, but they open it to the public. They offer Singaporean, Malay, and Indian, as well as other types of food.
If you find yourself craving something you had at the hawker centre during your visit to Singapore and want to try one more time before you leave. This is a great opportunity for you to have that one meal before your departure. Also, the food of the staff food court has two separate prices for the staff and public. But the prices of the public is still way cheaper than eating at the McDonalds in the airport.
Thank you for watching and be sure to hit that like button. Also, I’d love to hear what you thought of the episode. So please feel free to leave a comment below. Have yourself a wonderful day and I’ll see you back in the next episode.

Good to show the price you paid. Will be glad if you can let the price line stays a bit longer to make it easier to read. Very helpful video. Thank you 😊

This is kinda "open secret" among intrepid travellers, that care to find out and explore. I too have made trips to the Staff Canteen and enjoyed the food over the years, whenever I fly in from Australia. In fact, this Terminal 1 Staff Canteen has been in existence(in various form) when Changi Airport was first built. The airport management knew back then, they had to cater for the needs of the airport staff and workers. Like the saying goes "a hungry worker is an angry worker" heh heh! The other terminals do have staff canteens as well, but I still prefer this original one, as it has a certain charm and appeal. Thank for sharing.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

@Richard1855 Thank you so much for sharing the history of the staff canteen!

[@linehempel162]

Hi tkss I am from South Africa,on a budget as our Rand is very weak,I wonder if I will be able to afford the meals

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

@@linehempel162 Thanks so much for watching. I made this video to give travelers another option and hopefully save a little when eating at the airport. Hope this video helps you decide the best choice based on your travel budget.

[@MyHanck]

I like the place

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Fun experience! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@HD15GAO]

thank you for your video! can you advice when they are open, please?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

I believe this particular staff canteen is 5 am to 9 pm. Thank you for watching!

[@shajanmathew3588]

Is that bluish/gray "Perfect Time" t shirt your favourite? Seen that t-shirt in many videos.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

No, just my work shirt...😂

[@Maria-jn4vf]

Great video! Do they accept credit card as payment in this staff food court?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

No, I believe they just accept Singaporean Dollars as it is a staff food court and not set up for outside diners. Thank you for watching!

[@redengarchitorena6861]

Any elevator or escalator to get to the canteen? I will travel with a toddler with a stroller and some suitcases. Thank you in advance for the reply.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

I just remember one set of stairs. I don't remember seeing elevator, sorry.

[@walterwanderley383]

If I'm on a layover, would I have to exit through security to get to this?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Yes, the staff canteen is outside of the secure area.

[@mxjw1]

The prices are still at a higher side, in particular The economical rice at $7.80 is really overpriced.

[@markshippo]

He ordered 2 meats and 1 vegetable combinations. That is the correct pricing. If you a tighter budget, choose 2 vegetables selection with rice.

[@CreativeReaper90s]

Hey i had a flight next week to nz via singapore... N had more than enough time to have dinner and i checked this in other videos as well but i had three question 1) till what time is the staff canteen open. 2) as a connecting flight passenger can we go there as if I am. Not mistaken u have to go just outside the main glass gate to go to the staff canteen (not out the airport premises though). So are layover passengers allowed that. 3) what is the payment mode as in, in some videos it was saying they take cash only... So was it singapore dollar or US dollar that we should carry... Btw I am just starting your video... Commented right of the bat

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

I believe all the terminals have a staff canteen with different hours. I would recommend checking the google address for each canteen to show you the hours of operation. The canteen we visited closes at 9pm. As far as I know, you will need Singaporean dollars to purchase food and all staff canteens are outside the secure area. As for layovers, if you are still in the secure area I don't think you'll have access to the staff canteen. Have a great trip and thanks so much for watching!

[@CreativeReaper90s]

@@grifsfoodandtravel can we not go out of the secure area n come back after we had our food(asking as a novice flyer who is gonna fly international for the first time)...

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

​@@CreativeReaper90s You can leave secure area and see fountain/waterfall and other areas of the airport. But you'll have to go through security again when entering for your next flight. So you'll have to show passport, boarding pass and also go through security screening. If you decide to go out of secure area, I would recommend your layover be over 5 hours. Because it can take a long time to get through security again, when entering. Hope this information is helpful.

[@CreativeReaper90s]

@@grifsfoodandtravel indeed it was, thanks a lot for this info🙏🙏

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

@@CreativeReaper90s Have a fun trip!

[@emilymacandog1807]

is it luggage-friendly?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Yes, a lot of space and saw other travelers with luggage.

[@subhajitdas3435]

Do they accept USD bills or Credit card?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

As far as I know, it is Singaporean Dollar, as it is a staff food court. Thank you for watching!

[@user-cp7nb8ce1i]

Is there a Filipino food section?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Sorry, I don't remember seeing Filipino food. But could have missed it, as there was a lot of different stalls. If you find it, let us know. We love Filipino food!

[@user-cp7nb8ce1i]

Thank you for sharing. It's not-so secret anymore !

[@emilymacandog1807]

is it open 24/7?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Actually, they are open 5:00am to 9:00pm.

[@tngchinghwa]

bro you not recording in 1080p?

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Technical issue with camera and didn't record in 4K. Didn't notice until it was too late. Have more episodes coming up that will be the same way.

[@mongmongi226]

can i pay with QR code/ credit card??

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

I don't know about QR payment, but they do not take credit card.

[@mongmongi226]
