Teo Heng KTV (Kallang Wave Mall)

Teo Heng KTV at Kallang Wave Mall sits on the ground floor of the Sports Hub complex, a few minutes’ walk from the National Stadium and the Indoor Stadium.

The format is the chain’s: rooms by the hour by size rather than per person, from about $13 before 7pm for a room of four, up to a ten-seater. Bring your own food and drink, no alcohol, and the rooms are non-smoking. The catalogue runs across English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean. This branch keeps a WhatsApp line for song requests, which helps when the track you want is not already in the system.

The location does much of the work here — it is the obvious place for a group to wash up after a match or a concert, and it handles walk-ins better than the Orchard branches do on a weekend. It suits friend groups, families and teams who want somewhere loud and cheap without a bar attached. Rooms are simple and clean rather than styled. Bookings are taken by phone.
