Tenplus is a safari-themed bistro on Sungei Tengah Road that describes itself as the first of its kind in Singapore, incorporating the beauty of the wilderness into its space for a unique camp-like dining experience. Billed as a great escape from the bustle of the city, it trades polished city-bistro formality for a setting that feels closer to an evening at camp — open, relaxed, and a world away from the rush.
The kitchen's approach is a multicultural expression of flavours: a menu that encompasses the best of both Western and Eastern cuisines, put together by a team that talks about mixing it up with like-minded peers, shaking it up with creativity, and seasoning it up with service. To drink, there is a variety of booze, including beers on tap, for diners settling in to unwind.
Three nights a week the bistro adds live music to the mix — acoustic pop and R&B on Thursday evenings, the duo Isaac & Jing En with pop and easy-listening favourites every Friday night, and a blend of pop, soul, and acoustic favourites on Saturdays. Hours run Monday 12 pm–10 pm, Tuesday to Friday 12 pm–11 pm, Saturday 9 am–11 pm, and Sunday 9 am–10 pm. Reservations are available, and the team can be reached on (65) 8656 8685 or at [email protected].
Some restaurants ask you to escape; Tenplus is built for it. Sitting at 65 Sungei Tengah Road, the team behind this bistro introduces the venue as a 'great escape from the bustle of the city' — and they have designed the whole experience around that idea. Tenplus describes itself as the first of its kind in Singapore: a safari-themed bistro that incorporates the beauty of the wilderness into its space, giving diners a unique camp-like dining experience. Rather than polished city surfaces, the setting leans into a sense of the outdoors, so an evening here feels closer to a night at a safari camp than a meal in a shopping district.
That philosophy runs deeper than decor. The team describes what they do as a multicultural expression of flavours — mixing it up with like-minded peers, shaking it up with creativity, and seasoning it up with service. Tenplus aims to explore and provide a different way of enjoying food and beverages, and to do it through the quality of the space itself. On their telling, the room is not a backdrop to the meal; it is part of it.
The menu deliberately spans what the team calls the best of both Western and Eastern cuisines. That breadth makes the bistro an easy group decision: one diner can head for Western comforts while another leans towards Eastern favourites, and the safari-themed table can hold both. To accompany the food, there is a variety of booze, with beers on tap for diners who want to unwind and take the evening slowly.
Between the wide-reaching menu, the taps, and the camp-like surroundings, Tenplus positions itself less as somewhere for a quick bite and more as a destination — the kind of place you set aside an evening for rather than squeeze between errands. It suits the address, too: out on Sungei Tengah Road, arriving is a small journey, and the venue rewards the trip by making the staying worthwhile.
Three nights a week, the escape comes with a soundtrack. Thursday evenings feature an acoustic pop and R&B performer whose tunes, in the venue's words, set the perfect mood for an evening under the stars — relaxed, vibrant, and full of heart. Fridays bring the dynamic duo Isaac and Jing En, who deliver a mix of pop and easy-listening favourites to the Tenplus stage every Friday night.
Saturdays round out the run with a blend of pop, soul, and acoustic favourites — warmth and energy, according to the venue, and the perfect atmosphere for your weekend unwind. Across the three nights, the through-line is consistent: modest, melodic sets that suit the open, camp-like setting rather than fight it.
Tenplus keeps long hours across the week. Mondays run from 12 pm to 10 pm; Tuesday to Friday stretches from 12 pm to 11 pm. The weekend opens earlier still, with Saturday trading from 9 am to 11 pm and Sunday from 9 am to 10 pm, so a relaxed weekend-morning visit is very much on the table.
