Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Chef In Box Vendcafé at 136 Rivervale St offers a unique 24-hour vending machine dining experience in Sengkang.

We find the concept of ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and drinks available around the clock to be highly convenient, especially for those looking for a quick bite at odd hours.

Reviewers generally praise the food quality, noting it surpasses typical convenience store offerings.

While the automated service means no human interaction, which some find amusingly lacking in 'customer service,' the efficiency is a key draw.

We note some feedback regarding pricing, with one reviewer suggesting a $2 orange juice would encourage more purchases over the current $3.

Overall, it's a practical option for casual, budget-friendly meals.

We'd recommend it as a reliable, no-frills spot for a quick and convenient meal, particularly outside of standard dining hours.

What customers say

Chef In Box Vendcafé at 136 Rivervale St is appreciated for its 24/7 availability and convenient vending machine concept, offering a good selection of food, drinks, and snacks.

Customers generally find the food quality surprisingly good, even better than some 7-Eleven offerings, and at a decent price point.

However, some feel the pricing, particularly for certain items like orange juice, is too high for a vending machine concept, and the lack of human interaction for service is noted, albeit humorously.

I think this chef in the box thing has its charm... Is convenient. I agree... But really shouldn't have to come at a much higher price point. Small suggestion CIB... If you price your Orange Juice @…
