Industrial Vibes and Local Flavours at Great Nanyang

#summervacay Great Nanyang Heritage Café has opened a new outlet at Changi City Point, and it’s one of the most unique ones yet. Stepping inside feels like entering a scene from the past. The entire space is designed to look like an old-school industrial hardware shop, with thoughtful details that bring the theme to life. The walls are covered in textured metal panels, giving a cool, raw factory feel. Rustic wooden planks line the counters and furniture, adding warmth and contrast. What really stands out are the vintage tools and old hardware items displayed around the café — from wrenches and hammers to retro metal fans and pulley wheels. Even the lighting adds to the mood, with old-style lamps casting a warm glow over the space. There are metal cabinets, storage drawers, and even toolboxes that remind you of traditional hardware stores from back in the day. It feels like a workshop turned cozy café — a place where heritage meets creativity, and where every corner tells a story. The food matches the charm of the place. Penang Assam Laksa is tangy and flavourful, with well-chosen noodles that hold the broth beautifully. The Dry Fried Hor Fun is smoky and satisfying, packed with ingredients. The Mashed Taro Steam Bun is a soft, fluffy bun filled with smooth, not-too-sweet taro paste — a must-try for dessert lovers. You can still enjoy classic kopi, kaya toast, and soft-boiled eggs, but in a setting that’s far from ordinary. Whether you're there for the food or the atmosphere, this outlet offers a special experience that makes you want to come back.
