Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) has a motto: where the world meets Singapore, and Singapore meets the world, and this is evident in its new retail proposition.

Lifestyle and fashion

The store carries all-occasion bags in canvas, sustainable nylon and its latest apple leather (certified vegan) series. New designs will be available at the same time in Jewel as in Korea.

Fashion and lifestyle store Turtle has also just opened its first duplex store. This flagship store offers a wide range of fashionable jewellery accessories, home decoration pieces, phone accessories, toys, quirky souvenirs and gift items.

Tai Er has just opened its doors with the first location in Singapore. The popular chain restaurant’s signature sauerkraut fish is a popular Sichuan dish in China.

The airport is also the first Singapore location for Mamma Mia!, which serves up authentic Italian fare with artisanal handmade pastas and fresh ingredients. This restaurant also serves fusion dishes dishes such as linguine with Japanese mentaiko-tobiko cream sauce, mee pok with chicken chunks and onsen egg, as well as linguine with spicy chicken katsu and Japanese curry. The menu is complete with antipastis, risottos and desserts, with all food made to order.

For those who eat halal, Monster Planet and Poulet Bijou are the newest halal-certified outlets at Jewel. Monster Planet just opened, and Poulet Bijou will commence operations in October.
