Kawaii Crepes Crash-Land In The East
Tampines shoppers, your dessert rotation just got a serious upgrade. Monster Planet, the cult-favourite dessert chain known for its wildly photogenic crepes and soft-serve towers, is rolling into Tampines 1 with a brand-new outlet and a fresh lineup of sweet creations. The opening marks the brand's latest push into the heartlands, bringing its signature pastel-hued, character-driven treats closer to the east-side crowd. If you've been trekking to town just for a Monster Planet fix, those days are officially over.
What's On The Menu
The new Tampines outlet isn't just a copy-paste of existing stores — it's debuting exclusive dessert crepes you won't find anywhere else in Singapore. Expect buttery, paper-thin crepes folded around generous swirls of soft-serve, fresh fruit, housemade whipped cream, and the chain's famous monster-shaped toppers. Flavours lean into the cute-meets-indulgent territory, with combinations that pair textures like crunchy biscoff crumble, chewy mochi, and silky chocolate ganache. Each crepe is built to order, so the cream stays cold and the crepe stays crisp — no soggy disappointments here.
- Signature new launch: Strawberry Monster Crepe with mascarpone cream and fresh berries (~$10.90)
- Crowd favourite: Matcha Mountain Crepe with azuki beans and mochi (~$9.90)
- Drink pairing: Hojicha soft-serve float (~$7.50)
- Price range: $8-13 per crepe, perfect for a post-shopping treat
Why Tampines 1 Makes Sense
Tampines 1 has been quietly stacking its F&B lineup with buzzy dessert names, turning the mall into a legitimate sweet-tooth destination. Monster Planet slots in perfectly alongside the bubble tea giants, Japanese bakeries, and ice cream parlours already drawing weekend queues. The outlet is expected to sit on one of the upper floors, with a counter-service setup and a small standing area for quick bites. Given the brand's Instagram-first appeal, expect the space to be decked out in pastel tones and oversized monster mascots begging to be photographed.

What To Expect On Opening Day
If past Monster Planet launches are anything to go by, the first weekend will be chaotic in the best way — think snaking queues, sold-out specials, and a flurry of content creators jostling for the perfect overhead shot. The brand typically rolls out launch-week freebies or limited merch drops, so it's worth arriving early if you want dibs on exclusive collectibles. Weekday afternoons will likely be the sweet spot for avoiding the crush, especially if you're bringing kids who won't appreciate a 45-minute wait. Bring cash and card options, as payment queues can get tight during peak periods.
The Verdict
Monster Planet at Tampines 1 is shaping up to be the east's most exciting dessert opening of the season, and it's absolutely worth the detour. The combination of genuinely tasty crepes, adorable presentation, and accessible pricing makes it a no-brainer for families, students, and dessert enthusiasts alike. Pencil it in for your next Tampines mall crawl — just don't blame us when you end up queuing twice.
