There’s a new retail and F&B zone at VivoCity!
Located on the first level where Tangs used to be, and spanning over 56,000 square feet, the refreshed zone features an exciting mix of retail, beauty, and dining experiences. From an expanded Bath & Body Works outlet to a new Providoreoutlet, to the largest ALDO outlet in Singapore and a revamped TANGS that’s more family-orientated, the refreshed zone has something for everyone.
Best of all, the area is directly connected to HarbourFront MRT Station and there are two ways to reach it.
It’s seconds from the main entrance facing Mount Faber. Enter and turn right when you see Bath & Body Works.
If you’re using the B2 MRT entrance/exit, turn left, travel up the escalators for two levels and the refreshed zone is to your right; you can’t miss it. If you turn right instead of left at B2, there’s another escalator well too. Going up these will bring you to the entrance of TANGS.
And if you’re heading down soon, the following establishments are what you can look forward to.
Bath & Body Works
The wonderful scents of Bath & Body Workshave been delighting VivoCity shoppers since 2018. With this latest revamp, their outlet is larger than ever, with a lovely window display, twin entrances, as well as an animated lightbox that announces the grand entrance to the new retail zone.
Like all Bath & Body Worksoutlets, the store itself is stocked wall to wall with exotic fragrances, body care products, and scent candles—you can easily spend an hour here just going through them. For gift buyers, good news too. You can mix-and-match purchases to assemble your ideal gift and have those packed into beautiful boxes (minimum purchase required). Definitely a place to visit when looking to pamper yourself or a loved one.
ALDO
ALDO’s outlet at the new VivoCity retail zone will be their largest in Singapore, but that is not the only reason to visit.
Come the latter part of this month, the outlet will feature VivoCity-exclusive designs. In conjunction with the upcoming Greta Gerwig Barbie movie, the outlet will also be releasing Barbie-themed merchandise. How about watching the movie at nearby GV VivoCity and then grabbing a swanky pair of shoes here?
Unique merchandise aside, ALDO footwear is famous for comfort, style, and versatility, with designs for both gentlemen and ladies. Their Pillow Walk technology, for example, uses an intricate foam system to provide the perfect blend of stability, impact absorption, rebound, and support.
They have quite a collection of different styles too, from formal to casual chic, to avant-garde. Who knows? After visiting their new VivoCity outlet, you might find yourself falling in love with their brand.
Waa Cow!
Waa Cow!’s colourful new outlet at VivoCity is their first and largest family-centric one, with dining for the whole family made easy thanks to a menu featuring kids’ meals, sharing platters, and VivoCity exclusives.
Showcasing their own take on the classic Japanese Chirashi, Waa Cow! is also the first to introduce Meat Chirashi in Singapore. Yup. Instead of premium seafood, it’s premium Wagyu slices, Iberico Pork Jowl, tender-grilled chicken, and foie gras.
There’s also the Truffle Royale Don, a mount-watering experience that features house-made truffle rice topped with premium wagyu slices, foie gras, caviar, ikura, and summer asparagus.
To celebrate the opening, diners at Waa Cow! Vivocity can redeem complimentary limited edition beach-themed merchandise from May 27 to Jun 23, 2023 (Minimum spend of SGD 80/- required) From beach bags to water bottles, beach towels, and bucket hats, customers will be all set for a great beach day outing at nearby Sentosa with these handy collectibles.
Tiong Bahru Bakery
You probably read about it recently. For two hours till sold out, a long queue enthusiastically waited outside this new Tiong Bahru Bakery outlet for one-dollar croissants. Nobody, at all, minded the drizzle that morning.
Well, the one-dollar promotion is over, but you should still check out this new outlet. Other than the bakery’s irresistible viennoiseries, pastries, and bread, which are all baked with 100 percent French flour and butter, there’s an alfresco outdoor area, a calming ambience throughout, and a most eye-catching Japanese mural right at the entrance.
The outlet also opens as early as 7.30 am; if you’re working in the area, here’s a new great place to get breakfast.
Best of all, to celebrate the opening, Tiong Bahru Bakery will be giving away a free croissant with a minimum spend of SGD 15/- from May 22 to Jun 30, 2023, when diners bring their own containers for takeaways on weekdays.
Customers will also enjoy SGD 5/- return vouchers with every SGD 35/- spend from Jun 8 to 11, 2023.
The Providore
May 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of The Providore, alongside the opening of their newest VivoCity outlet – their second largest in Singapore.
Open from 8 am daily on weekdays, all-day dining awaits at this leafy 120-seater serving great coffee and gorgeous food. I said “leafy” because this outlet also features a long, long indoor garden wall. The perfect backdrop for those who, you love, love to take some selfies while enjoying superb food made with the freshest seasonal ingredients.
As one of the most beloved deli chains in the country, there are, of course, also more than 50 kinds of cheeses for cheese aficionados to pick from for pairing with wines and fresh bread from the bakery.
And oh, like Tiong Bahru Bakery (see above), they have an outdoor area too. When there’s no kids’ event happening at the piazza outside, diners can enjoy dancing fountain shows at this alfresco area throughout the day.
Belle-Ville Pancake & Coffee
I guess Belle-Ville Pancake & Coffee doesn’t need much introduction; they’ve been in Singapore for a while.
But if you’re unfamiliar, they are from Osaka and they serve absolutely heavenly, and pretty filling, Japanese-style fluffy soufflé pancakes. The type that is also wonderfully photogenic when topped by fruits and cream.
They have other Japanese café dishes at this new outlet too—different types of curry rice and French toast, to name two.
For coffee lovers, what’s not to be missed is the in-store coffee roastery. This is an aromatic collaboration with the famous Takagi Coffee from Japan that’s definitely a must-try.
TANGS at VivoCity
For TANGS fans, despair not. VivoCity’s new retail and F&B zone is situated where TANGS used to be, but that doesn’t mean the department store has left Singapore’s biggest mall for good.
Now located at the rear of the new zone and still feeling as spacious as ever with 50,000 square feet of space, the revamped TANGS VivoCity is now more family-orientated, with colour-coordinated zones for mums, dads, and the little ones harmoniously beside one another.
TANGS has also unveiled new shop-in-shop concepts like Clarins, Maison Q, Miffy, and Hegen; as well as feature brands such as Albion, SK-II, YSL Beauty, Braun Buffel, among others. In short, the ultimate shopping experience for the family awaits here all day long. The new toy zone will surely be a hit with children too.

The above dining establishments are already open as of early June. Down the road, beauty brands such as Parfums Christian Dior, PRADA, Chloé Atelier des Fleurs, and Rituals will also be joining the new zone.
