Charlie's Corner

Tucked away in down Changi Village Road in Singapore’s Changi Village, with the hustle and bustle of the hawker centre as a backdrop, Charlie’s Corner is all about casual dining and a huge, international selection of beer and cider. Charlie’s Corner has occupied the same spot, more or less, since 1930, and this current iteration boasts great views over the beach and remains a popular spot to meet friends and hang out.

The legacy of Charlie’s Corner began way back in 1930, when proprietor Charlie Han’s father opened the Changi Milk Bar. Reinvented in the 1970s as Charlie’s Corner, Charlie Han and his son remain in charge of the kitchen, whipping up great snacks and meals, and serving a selection of chilled, international beer and cider to regular patrons and drop-ins alike. With views out over Changi Beach, and the busy hawker centre behind the shop along Changi Village Road, Singapore diners and drinkers have nothing but fond memories of this humble, long-standing institution.

Charlie’s Corner takes its cues from its milk bar genealogy, and with inspiration from American-style diners offers a simple selection of hearty, quick meals for customers exploring Singapore’s Changi Village. In its kitchen along Changi Village Road, dishes such as porterhouse, American rib-eye, and sirloin steaks are constantly on the grill. Most recommended is Charlie’s Corner’s special fish and chips, which is a standby for many fans. Enjoy with an American, German, or Danish beer or cider and you have the perfect beachside, Changi Village casual dining combination.
