I must also agree that FR at Vivo is one of the most expensive food courts I have ever eaten at. Perhaps one reason for the high prices is its proximity to the Sentosa Express which no doubt unloads scores of hungry tourists at FR's doorstep?
Relatively speaking though, if you are at Vivo and looking to eat something less fancy, or if all the other harbour view restaurants are full, then FR would be a close alternative.
We like the decor of the place, which resembles an old warehouse or tea tavern. Nice rustic touches such as talismen on the walls, bird cages dangling from hooks, old doors and windows blend with the cacophony of voices and cooking sounds.
Seriously, the only way I can sit and soak up the atmosphere is to order the cheapest snacks from the place, which would be desserts. Home-cooked taste, restaurant prices .. sigh.
Recent encounter at dessert stall: I ordered the mango and pomelo dessert and was asked if I wanted mango flesh (芒果肉) at additional cost. So I asked, isn't there already mango flesh in the mango and pomelo dessert? No she said, only mango juice. Huh? Like the other reviewers, I really didn't want to make a fuss so I paid up for my dessert. And tried to enjoy the costly dessert.
Maybe next time, I should tapow food from elsewhere and eat here. .. or just order a teh-si ... like a warehouse coolie.

vivo food republic has left me a bad impression.i bought ala carte food from the curry rice stall.i ws totally dumbfounded when she revealed the price of my meal to me.
i order plain rice with veg.prawn and sotong
whoawhoa...$9.40!
i was enraged.if this isnt day light robbery.what was that?
however, i didnt want to make things difficult for both sides so i unwillingly paid the heavy price.
i have learnt my lesson to allways check the price and not always assume every alacarte food stall are of similar rates and food centres.
i would never return to food republic again.

One of my fave food @ FP vivocity would be their BBQ chick wings. I must say that their garlic chilli sauce played a critical role as well. Small juicy wings @ 1.20 each when i had them.
i would order 6 - 8 wings with lotsa of chilli sauce. Sinful yummy pleasure, do take note of garlic breath as well.

Food Republic is one place I often avoid. The food is very expensive despite its wide variety. And the place is always packed with curious customers. It's always difficult to find a seat and when you are eating, people keep watching you finish your food and not mentioning people walking around brushing against you when they look for seats.
We are all sick of eating set meals. Thus my dad bought ala carte food from the curry rice stall instead of the stipulated set consisting of meat, vege & egg.
He ordered one vege side and a fish on a plate of white rice topped with curry gravy. He was charged $7.50.
The receipt read:
Vegetable x1 $1.00
Fish x2 $6.00
2 @ $3.00
Rice x1 $0.50
Total $7.50
Dad explained that he pointed to the chef in white cap an order of vege and an order of fish. However, the lady cashier counted the fish as 2 pieces simply because it was broken into 2 pieces when scooping it from the main dish.
As a typical Singaporean, we didn't really make a big fuzz out of it to avoid trouble. Dad just paid up unwillingly. We just swear that we won't ever go back to that stall that's all...
Poor me gotta hear dad's nagging all the way home.
Lesson learnt : Just stick with set meals. :(

Hubby and I was looking for food at vivocity. Yes, Vivocity again! lols. I had craving for Korean food again. Yes, again! So we decide to check out the food court at lvl 3.
It's very difficult to look for a place to sit there! We've been there many times, but never ate there just because it's too difficult to look for table. Think they have too little seats or something. :(
I found a seat somewhere and hubby went to order from the Korean stall. Hubby felt that the food's pretty okay, but I didn't think much of the beef. It's actually spicy and the kimchi is very spicy!
Hubby likes the soup because it's not salty. I think it's not too bad.
Total amount spent on food for both of us SGD13.00. So, it's not that expensive. :)
I didn't bring out my camera, had to use my phone's camera to take photo. Think my phone's dying. The photos are getting blurrier and blurrier. :P

Must applaud the Hakka Thunder Tea rice branches at Food republic especially the Vivocity outlet.
Recently hooked onto thunder tea rice. One for the health benefits behind every mouth that you eat (the outlet provides a simple newsletter on the health benefits of the ingredients and goodness put into every bowl of thunder tea. Despite the basil and peppermint taste that one may dislike on first try, it's definitely worth eating and trying with brown rice for the sake of your health. 2nd, after finishing the bowl of brown rice with the veg, toufu, ikan billis, dried shrimp, cai pu I actually felt quite revitalised and light, without the sinful and bloated feeling because all the stuff I ate was easily digestable plus the fact tt it was not oily. Just nice and sedap! The only down side was sometimes the soup a tad too diluted.. cause the mixture is scooped before hand and hot water added just before you order.. so it's really a case of auntie's skill hahaha..
