One Bowl, Endless Broths: Tina's Noodle Kitchen Debuts at PLQ Mall
Craving a custom bowl of Sichuan-style rice noodles? Tina’s Noodle Kitchen (天府李米线) has brought its made-to-order noodle soups to Basement 2 of PLQ Mall, marking the brand’s very first store in Singapore.
A Sichuan Rice Noodle Concept from Melbourne to Singapore
Tina’s Noodle Kitchen first opened in Melbourne’s CBD back in February 2015, spreading the traditional rice noodle culture of southwest China to Australia under the Dainty Sichuan Group. Since then, the brand has grown into a small chain across Melbourne, and the PLQ Mall outlet now brings that same concept to Singapore for the first time.
The kitchen’s chef team is devoted to simmering aromatic soups with fresh ingredients, including abalone, scallop, chicken, duck, pork bones, and ham, cooked for hours to build a genuinely layered broth. Selecting high-quality, exclusive custom rice noodles is central to the brand’s identity, a commitment reflected in the roughly 800,000 bowls it sells every year.
Basement Two’s New Noodle Destination
Tucked into Basement 2 of PLQ Mall, Tina’s Noodle Kitchen sits just a two-minute walk from Exit E of Paya Lebar MRT Station, alongside fellow B2 tenants like Haidilao Hot Pot and Sanook Kitchen. It is a casual, no-frills eatery with a teal-and-wood interior, wooden screens, and traditional artwork on the walls, making it an easy stop for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner after a day of shopping.
The restaurant has built a strong reputation quickly, currently holding a 4.9-out-of-5 rating from hundreds of Google reviews, with diners frequently praising the generous portions and the depth of flavour across its different broths.
Custom Broths, Made to Order
The menu is organised around five broth families: Thick Stock Soup, Pickles in Soup, Signature Spicy Soup, Pickled Chilli, and Sichuan Pepper, each paired with a choice of proteins like beef, pork liver, pork stomach, fish fillet, and seafood mixed. Standout bowls include the Tender Beef Slices with Tomato, the Spicy Stewed Beef, and the Seafood Mixed noodle soup, all cooked to order rather than pre-made.
Beyond the noodle bowls, the kitchen also serves fried skewers of lamb and chicken, a glutinous rice cake snack, and a house-made hawthorn drink, giving diners a few ways to round out their meal beyond the soup itself.
Pro Tip: If you are new to the menu, ask the counter staff which broth pairs best with your protein of choice — the pickled chilli and Sichuan pepper bases pack real heat, while the thick stock soups are milder and better suited to first-timers.
Grand Opening Buzz and Where to Find Current Deals
Tina’s Noodle Kitchen marked its Singapore debut with a grand opening promotion running from 10 to 15 November 2025, offering 50% off all items during the 2pm to 5pm window for diners who shared their experience on social media. That specific promotion has since ended, so it is worth following the brand’s Instagram for whatever seasonal deals or daily specials are currently running.
For delivery orders, foodpanda currently applies an auto-discount on all items at checkout, and the platform also lists free delivery for first-time orders, making it an easy way to try the menu without a mall visit.
