Bak Chang Vending Machine

U-Market Place is putting a twist to this traditional snack by offering ready-to-eat rice dumplings in plastic wrappings from a vending machine. These are kept warm in the machine and come out ready for immediate consumption. Flavours include salted and Nonya dumplings with more in the works. The bak chang vending machines can be found in six locations around Singapore.
Hor Fun Vending Machine
Chef in Box’s vending machine cafes have been lauded for serving hot, delicious food through its machines, with seafood hor fun receiving praise for its taste. From the original Sengkang vending machine cafe that opened in 2016, they have since expanded the vending machine cafe concept to Ang Mo Kio and Lakeside MRT stations. Other than these three locations, Chef in Box machines can also be found in hotels, schools, industrial parks and offices.
Chili Crab Vending Machine
House of Seafood is known for its chilli crab and black pepper crab. From one outlet in 2008, it now has three outlets around Singapore. At the Punggol Settlement branch, in addition to tucking into their award-winning crab, you can also purchase ready-to-eat vacuum-packed crab from a vending machine outside the outlet. Perfect for overseas visitors who wish to take a taste of Singapore home, or for the local who can’t get enough chili crab.
