Food & Beverage

The mix changes periodically — walk the floors on your first visit to map what’s available at any given time.

Healthcare Services

For residents who need healthcare options in the Tampines Central area without going to Our Tampines Hub’s polyclinic, Century Square has a reasonable cluster of:

  • Dental clinics
  • Optical shops (eye tests, glasses, contact lenses)
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners
  • Pharmacies
  • General health/wellness services

What Century Square Is Less Good For

Century Square is not the first choice if you need a supermarket (go to Tampines Mall’s FairPrice Finest or Tampines 1’s FairPrice), a cinema (Golden Village is in Tampines Mall), or mainstream fashion retail (Tampines 1 post-renovation has the stronger lineup). Think of it as a complement to the other two malls rather than a standalone destination.
