7th Heaven KTV & Cafe (SAFRA Tampines)

7th Heaven is a karaoke place and a cafe in the same premises at SAFRA Tampines, with fifteen private rooms you can eat a proper meal in rather than a songbook and a bowl of nuts.

The kitchen is what separates it: a full menu rather than snacks, running to salted egg wings, smoked duck pizza and barbecue pork ribs, priced around what a casual restaurant would charge. There is a pool table and a games area alongside the rooms, and the rooms themselves are large — which suits how people use it, as a long sitting rather than an hour of singing.

It suits family celebrations and birthdays where the food matters as much as the microphone, and groups who want somewhere to settle for an evening. It runs as a cafe through the day and a music bar at night, so the atmosphere depends on when you arrive. Cakes are pricey for their size, which is worth knowing if a birthday is the reason you are going. It is a short bus ride from Tampines station rather than a walk.
