Welcome to Cafe Shiok!

On November 1, SAS launched Cafe Shiok!: a full-service, walk-in cafe with a takeaway and dine-in lounge seating up to 30 students. The cafe is one of many changes Singapore American School is undertaking to make dining at school more attractive for our high school students. At SAS, we recognize that as older teens and young adults, our high school students crave a more sophisticated environment to hang out in.

Shiok is a Singaporean word expressing admiration or approval. It can mean that something is cool or great, but it can also be used to describe food as delicious. The menu at Cafe Shiok! includes food options such as sandwiches, wraps, and pre-made salads, in addition to a selection of pastries, breads, and baked goods, fruit, yogurt-based smoothies, hot and cold beverages, and an egg station. Students can grab a quick and healthy snack with quality calories between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The new offerings at Cafe Shiok! will have the added benefit of decreasing wait times at the cafeteria.

Cafe Shiok! offers an additional flexible study environment for students, by providing a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where students can work on projects over a snack. Located within the high school center of innovation, the cafe also features outdoor seating within a newly created courtyard area. High schoolers are welcome to study, eat, relax, or socialize—while observing current safe distancing measures—in the indoor lounge or outdoor covered space.

Singapore American School is undergoing an exciting period of expansion and growth. Our Reimagined campus will honor the legacy of the past, while providing inspiration for tomorrow's challenges. Exceptional, eco-friendly facilities will accommodate cross-disciplinary collaboration, cutting-edge technology, and innovative learning. These adaptable spaces will enable SAS to continue to embrace best practices and excellence in all areas of our programming.

Cafe Shiok! is just one of many new spaces that will be created for our high school students during the campus upgrade project. Over the course of the Reimagined project, the high school will benefit from major updates such as upgraded classroom and specialist teaching rooms, state-of-the-art STEAM facilities, multiple new health and fitness amenities, a 50m swimming pool, the renovated high school library, and additional dining and community spaces.
