Hidden Finds At The World’s Best Airport
As exhilarating it is to fly overseas, nothing’s more
stressful than scrambling to make it in time for check-in and boarding before
the gate closes. It's no secret that Changi Airport is one of the world's top
airports, and as Singaporeans, it’s something we sometimes take for granted.
So if you’ve got a holiday lined up in the coming months,
here’s a tip from us - head to the airport early. Not only will you have peace
of mind knowing there are no chances of being late, you’ll get to settle in
nicely and take part in some pretty awesome activities to pass the time.
With a plethora of services and facilities hidden in and
around Changi Airport, the next time you fly, you’ll want to spend more than
just an hour and a half in transit. And even if you’re only at the airport
sending friends off, there’ll be something in this list for you.
Note: "Transit area" means the space you enter
before departure, after you've passed the customs. You'll need a boarding pass
to get to these areas!
1. Indulge in the cheapest food at a secret staff canteen
From food courts to fancy restaurants serving up cuisines
from all over the world, if there’s one thing Changi Airport has in abundance -
its dining options.
But if you’re on a budget, and tired of chain eateries and
fast food, we’ve uncovered quite a treat for you!
Follow this guide to get to the elusive Secret Staff
Canteen, where surprisingly scrumptious food awaits. It’s available not just to
outbound travellers, but anyone and everyone setting foot in Changi Airport!
Walk to the far end of Terminal 2 towards the carpark,
beyond Check-In Aisle 12. Go past Starbucks and the GST Refund Centre, and
you’re on the right track!
You’re almost there! Head up the stairs and turn left.
Opening the doors to a whole new world of cheap and
unabashedly good food!
There are lots of stalls peddling delicious hawker fare,
prepared upon order and cooked with love. The drinks go for slightly over 50
cents each (!!), and the legendary Pancake King has a droolworthy display case
of freshly baked pastries and treats at prices you just wouldn’t believe.
Our ultimate recommendation though? Wild Olives Western,
where the likes of fish & chips, pasta and grilled meats go for an average
of $6 per filling and VERY delicious set.
There’s no lack of surprise finds among the row of simple
and unassuming stalls, and considering the negligible prices, you could
probably camp here and sample each and every dish that is on offer. That’s what
I’ll be doing...at least.
Location: Terminal 2, public area.
