Wayang at Funan Mall represents a unique celebration of Singapore's rich theatrical and cultural heritage, though the specific nature of this establishment requires clarification as "wayang" traditionally refers to various forms of Asian theatrical performance including Chinese street opera, shadow puppet theater (wayang kulit), and other dramatic arts that have deep historical significance in Singapore's multicultural landscape. The location within Funan Mall, a venue that houses The Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre—Singapore's first dedicated thrust stage that incorporates traditional "wayang timber" from 70-year-old Chinese opera stages—suggests this establishment may be connected to the preservation and promotion of traditional performing arts culture through retail, education, or cultural programming.
Singapore's wayang traditions encompass multiple cultural expressions brought by various immigrant communities, with Chinese street opera (wayang) serving as religious and entertainment performances since the 1840s, and wayang kulit (shadow puppet theater) representing Malay cultural heritage through storytelling involving local heroes and historical figures. These traditional art forms have experienced revivals through government support and community associations that recognize their importance in preserving Singapore's cultural identity and providing educational opportunities for younger generations to connect with their heritage. The incorporation of traditional wayang elements into modern spaces like Funan Mall demonstrates Singapore's commitment to maintaining cultural continuity while adapting to contemporary contexts.
If this establishment operates as a cultural retail space, educational center, or performance venue, it would serve an important role in making traditional arts accessible to modern audiences while supporting local artists and cultural practitioners. The location's proximity to Singapore's financial district and its position within a major shopping complex provides excellent opportunities for cultural exchange and education, introducing both tourists and locals to the sophisticated artistry, historical significance, and continuing relevance of traditional Asian theater forms. Such cultural preservation efforts help maintain Singapore's unique identity as a cosmopolitan city that honors its diverse heritage while embracing modernity and innovation.
Waited almost 30 mins just for a 2pc gardenia bread to be toasted and almost burnt with nutella on it for a freaking $7.50? Could have used the money to buy my own nutella tub lol waste of money tbh

Food: 0.5/2
The portion sizes for the calamari and rice were generous. However, the overall quality was disappointing. The Salted Egg Calamari Set lacked the distinctive salted egg flavor, and the meal was excessively oily, with the rice soaked in oil at the bottom of the box.
Price: 0.5/1
At $10 for the calamari, it was reasonably priced. The shop’s menu offers items ranging from $8 to $14, making it a relatively affordable option.
Customer Service: 0.5/1
The self-order kiosk meant there was minimal interaction with staff, so nothing notable about the service experience.
Ren Koh
Very miserable portion for 13.50...taste wise not bad but nothing special. Otherwise, many of the reviews here are not genuine because they offer a gift for reviews.
Nana Bae
Wayang used to serve decent portions that actually filled one tummy, justifying the price and leaving customers satisfied. But today’s experience was truly disappointing. The portion I received was pathetic. The rice looked like just three tablespoons, barely enough for a child, let alone an adult. I paid $11.20 for this, and even added $1 for tofu, which came in a size smaller than my fist. Seriously? For that price, the value is simply not there anymore. Standards have dropped drastically. Absolutely incorrigible. I am still so hungry after the pathetic meal 😭

This is hands down the best Indonesian fried chicken I've ever had! Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor—but the real star is the sambal matah. Fresh, fragrant, and perfectly spicy—it takes the dish to the next level. Highly recommend!
Charles Moy
Bagus! Free keropok for every review. Delicious chunks of Dory-mifaso best paired with their spicy belacan chilli.

Highly recommend the Roti Bakar! It’s authentic Indonesian grilled toast, I always ordered the classic Chocolate & Cheese, it’s done just like in Indonesia, with shredded Kraft cheese, chocolate rice and condensed milk. I love it and always getting this every time I’m in Funan. I love their mains as well, tasty and generous portions. My favorite is Buff Beef which is basically beef empal. The belacan chili and balinese chili packed a punch and very delicious. Their food and chili tastes the same as Ayam Penyet Ria since they’re from the same company. Highly recommended!

Ordered Wayang to my workplace and was a very convenient pick-up. We ordered a bunch of flavours; chicken, crab and calamari. The portion size was good and you get to choose the chili which was amazing. We also got prawn cracker and 2 portions of satay which was sufficient for 5 pax. The peanut sauce that was given with the satay was a bit sour, not sure why. Overall satay was good. Would definitely purchase again.

I recently visited and I was absolutely impressed! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I tried their Salted egg and the portion sizes were so generous, and everything was well-presented, my favourite!
The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming :)
Overall, I highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you!!!

Good indonesian food in sg! I love the beef and also chicken titanium! Always eat here when i go Funan..

I recently ordered takeout from Wayang @ Funan Mall, and the experience was exceptional. The fried calamari was perfectly crispy and tender, with a delightful seasoning that made every bite irresistible. The ayam titanium was equally impressive, featuring succulent chicken with a rich, flavorful sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. The food arrived hot and well-packaged, maintaining its quality and freshness. The staff was efficient and friendly, ensuring a seamless ordering process. Highly recommend for an extraordinary takeout meal!

I was recommended by the staff to try the Ayam Titanium, and I chose Belacan Chilli as my spicy sauce. The black sauce of the chicken stick is not overpowering, and the Belacan chilli compliment the chicken. I enjoyed every bit and will be back to try the other item.
Hans Sutanto
had the ayam titanium. expected it to taste more like chicken satay as it says to be grilled chicken but it came out more of fried chicken. taste wise is not bad tho. and really enjoyed the bali chili. ok price given the location and portion is decent.
serving time took a while on a weekday night
baity hibby
I love the food here especially the salted egg. Very suitable for my malay tekak.. the staff also very helpful and friendly. Will repeat again.
Ant
SPICY!! But it’s nice. I ordered the tofu& tempeh rice with Balinese chilli. Portion is pretty good for the price - it also comes with a crispy topping & egg. Ordered the fish the last time & that was yummy too.
Had to get the ice kopi to go with my meal, if not I wouldn’t be able to finish the meal. Coffee is not bad. I cant really take spicy food but I couldn’t stop eating the chilli hahaha.
May be hard to find seat during lunch time
