There is no need to travel too far to get to PasarBella in Bukit Timah anymore.

The marketplace, which opened two years ago at The Grandstand in what was formerly Turf City, now has a branch at the revamped Suntec City mall.

The 7,000 sq ft space in the mall's North Wing (near Tower 1) is just a fraction of the 40,000 sq ft flagship, but it is still very much a foodie haven.

Unlike the laidback farmers' market atmosphere at The Grandstand, the 100-seat PasarBella at Suntec City gets its inspiration from the Lower East Side in New York City, with graffiti walls, caricatures, hanging fruit crates as well as paved walkways.

So far, 11 of the 13 food stalls have opened in phases since early this month. They sell everything from skewered meat and vegetables to sandwiches and burgers, with cold-pressed juices, coffee and cocktails to wash it all down.

A salad shop and a Korean fried chicken outlet will open by Jan 21, the official opening date of PasarBella.

Those who want to do some shopping can go to Gifted, which sells handcrafted jewellery and other items made by Singapore artists.

Mr Xian Ong, 31, the marketing director for PasarBella, tells The Sunday Times that the team was approached by Suntec City to open at the mall and this was in line with the brand's plans to expand into the city.

By the third quarter of next year, PasarBella will open in Kuala Lumpur and the Malaysian outpost will be on the "same scale" as the one at The Grandstand.

On how the brand has developed since it started in 2013, he says: "At the start, we didn't have the reputation to get good people. Now, people come to us. The business is evolving and we are learning as we go."

One stall which has followed the brand is Vietnamese stall An-An. It has held pop-ups at PasarBella at The Grandstand and has now opened a stall at Suntec City.

Mr Nicholas Chan, 22, who runs An-An with his aunts, says: "We have been following PasarBella and we like its hipster concept. People are tired of the usual sit-down restaurants. They are used to eating at food courts, but with PasarBella, even Food Republic needs to step up its game." Suntec City has a Food Republic outlet in its basement.

Other food and beverage brands have opened new concepts at PasarBella.

Louisiana-style seafood stall Cajun On Wheels is by the Arteastiq Group, while chef Kyle Henderson has left small-plates restaurant Lolla in Ann Siang Road and has opened sandwich shop Porsena Deli.

The owners of Wolf Burgers banked on the success of the burgers sold at their first restaurant, Carvers & Co, in East Coast Road. Co-owner Soh Wen Ming, 32, says: "So far, the response at Suntec City has been very good as we have kept our prices affordable."

Burgers cost $9.90 each, with the exception of The Alpha, a double patty burger that costs $14.90.

Mr Aviv Zafrir, 40, owner of Mediterranean stall Pita & Olives, closed his shop at 100AM mall in Tanjong Pagar to open at PasarBella.

He says: "People come to PasarBella looking for more unusual food. That's how my stall fits in."
