World Kitchens is the brainchild of Singaporean food entrepreneur Andrew Tan Hock Lai, a legend in the F&B world with over 60 food concepts under his belt. The place is massive—2,500 square meters of pure food heaven, featuring 15 show kitchens that each specialize in different cuisines. The best part? Real international chefs are behind the counters, making sure every dish is legit and full of flavor.
And it’s not just about the food—it’s about the whole experience. Each kitchen is like a live cooking show where you can watch chefs work their magic. Picture fresh pasta being rolled right in front of you or sushi being sliced with precision. Perfect for the ‘Gram and even better for your taste buds.

Here’s where it gets even cooler—World Kitchens is bringing AI into the mix. Instead of waving for a server, you can order and pay through AI-powered systems, making everything super smooth and hassle-free. No awkward waiting, no wrong orders—just good food, fast.
This tech-savvy setup is a game changer, especially if you’re the type who hates waiting in long lines or dealing with mix-ups. Plus, it gives you more time to focus on what’s really important—choosing what to eat next.

With over 700 seats, World Kitchens is built for every kind of foodie adventure. Whether you’re rolling deep with the barkada, out on a cute date, or just vibing solo, there’s space for you. And since they offer such a wide range of flavors, you can switch it up every time you visit—Korean barbecue today, Spanish paella tomorrow, and maybe some Middle Eastern kebabs next weekend.
The best part? The prices are reasonable, so you don’t have to break the bank to eat like a globetrotter.
