The Retail Team from OCIS-Leasing Business aims to infuse vibrancy and exuberance into the F&B/Retail mix on campus while meeting the needs of the student and staff community by optimising the use of limited commercial space. Since 2018, the priorities have been to align with SMU’s Vision by offering a more inclusive food selection, providing greater variety, maintaining reasonable price points, and ensuring convenience.

Muslim Owned and Halal Options

F&B Outlets

Of all the F&B outlets on campus, there is a variety of Halal-certified / Muslim-friendly options. Please refer to F&B Listing for the updated list.

  1. TripletS by Bakery Cuisine (Halal certified)
  2. Subway (Halal certified)
  3. 1983 A Taste of Nanyang (Halal certified)
  4. Open Kitchen by Prata Alley (Muslim Owned)
  5. Indo Express Punggol (Halal Certified)
  6. Snappy Bowls (Halal Certified)
*Once the final stage is cleared with no outstanding from MUIS, the tenant will be issued a certificate.

Vending Machines

  1. Hotbakes 24/7 (Halal certified) x 3 : Level 1 LKS, Level 1 LKCSB, Level 3 YPHSOL
  2. Saybons (Halal certified) x 2 : Level 1 SOSS, Level 3 YPHSOL
  3. JR Vending (Halal certified) : Level 1 LKCSB
  4. Shakesalad (Halal certified) at Level 1 SOSS and Level 3 YPHSOL (2 locations). 
    (*note that only housebrands are Halal certified, Japanese jellies/dessert are not)
  5. EMeals by Taste Asia (Halal certified) x 3 : B1 SCIS 1, Level 1 LKS and Level 2 YPHSOL

Non-meat or Vegetarian Options

To ensure inclusivity, we have encouraged all tenants, especially new tenants, to include non-meat or vegetarian options in their offerings since mid-2022. 

(**Exclusion depends on the menu of tenants i.e. whether it fits the tenants’ food offering.  For example, it’s not possible with Ban Mian because the stock is meat based.) 

As of 1 March 2024, of the 30 outlets on campus, we have 16 of them providing such options (not including the operators in Koufu). Please refer to F&B Listing for the updated list.

F&B outlets with vegetarian options available have started to display Tent cards with the “Vegetarian Option” logo.

Healthy Food

All the F&B outlets on campus must participate in the Health Promotion Board’s Healthier Dining Programme by providing and promoting healthier food and beverage options.

Affordability

F&B outlets are aware and are regularly reminded to keep their menu offerings affordable. All outlets are encouraged to offer at least 1 ‘Value Meal’ to SMU students and uniformed service providers.

In Koufu, each stall has a ‘Value Meal’ priced at $3.80 per serving. When ordering, student matriculation cards and IDs of the service providers could be required for verification purposes.

Sustainability: Eco-friendly cutlery, disposable and Waste Management

All F&B outlets are required to:

  1. Commit to eco-friendly and green initiatives including the use of eco-friendly cutlery and crockery; bio-degradable items and non-use of disposables for dine in.  
  2. Not issue plastic bags as carriers. Only eco-friendly/biodegradable carriers are permitted.
  3. Not issue plastic straws.
  4. Implement a BYO (Bring Your Own) initiative to encourage customers to bring their own containers for their purchases.
  5. Dispose of all food waste in the campus waste digesters for treatment.

On Waste Management, in addition to NEA’s Nationwide enforcement on diners to return trays and clean table litter, since October 2023, SMU has gone further by encouraging diners at Koufu and SMU Connexion to segregate their food waste and dispose of it only in the designated food-waste bins.
