Where to go for the best Jurong Point food

10.1 min read

Jurong Point is huge. Walking through it, you’d be hard-pressed to find a single area that you can orient yourself with in the same way that Vivocitys’ central atrium lets you identify its major wings. It also lacks the same cohesion that malls such as Nex do, owing to its themed food areas as well as two major expansions over as many decades.

Yet, savvy westies know that for those who master its chaos, a decadent selection of dining options await. Here’s our guide to the best Jurong Point food so that you come out of your next trip here with a full stomach and a smile on your face.

01 • City Hot Pot

City Hot Pot’s Jurong Point branch was met with huge crowds when it opened a couple of years ago, and continues to be beloved by diners looking for a good, hearty hot pot. This restaurant lets you choose from 14 soup broths, which themselves can be combo’d together with the $1 double soup base option. Each diner gets their own hot pot, so be sure to come with friends so you can try as many soups as you can handle amongst yourselves.

02 • Wee Nam Kee

If chicken rice is your game, you can’t make it 30 years in competitive Singapore without being extraordinary. Wee Nam Kee has served some of the best chicken rice to households across Singapore, and its westmost branch is no exception. The succulent, thick cuts of chicken make this restaurant stand out in both the food in Jurong Point and chicken rice stalls.

03 • Legendary Hong Kong

Legendary Hong Kong has to be the most fantastic Chinese restaurant in Jurong Point when it comes to decor. It’s decorated right from the entrance, giving the perfect Hong Kong teahouse vibe. Not only that, but it also has 4 different stalls, each focusing on a different aspect of Hong Kong cuisine. The Four Treasures Rice will definitely catch your eye, but the real deal is the duck, which is sourced from Ireland and plucked by hand. This means that the meat is unbruised, and every bite is succulent and tender.

📍 Unit no.: #03-80
⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 11am – 10pm | Sat and Sun, 10am – 10pm

04 • Ayam Penyet Ria (halal)

This 22-year-old family-owned restaurant still serves ayam penyet the old-fashioned way. Right after frying, the piping hot chicken is smashed with a wooden mallet to give it a unique, soft texture. They also serve Empal Penyet (smashed beef steak) and various types of grilled fish penyet cooked using the same technique, and the wood-smashed finish makes all of these meats soft and flavourful in their own special ways.

While Jurong Point is no stranger to Indonesian food, Ayam Penyet Ria is the only place to pair your meal with a mug of mouth-watering Jus Alpukat Opa (avocado juice).

📍 Unit no.: #B1-06
⏰ Opening hours: 11.30am – 10pm daily

05 • Tsukimi Hamburg

Even though it’s been a while since Tsukimi Hamburg first went viral around the island, it’s still frequented by Westies looking for some satisfying food in Jurong Point. The mix of US beef, pork, and Miyazaki Wagyu beef is packed tightly, creating a flavourful patty with a satisfying mouthfeel. The patty is usually served with rice and topped with raw Japanese egg and dashi gravy, but other toppings are available as well. Raclette cheese and truffle omelettes, anyone?

After 95 long years, China’s favourite breakfast spot has finally come to Singapore! Cai Li Jin is widely considered to serve some of the best noodles in China, and we won’t be surprised if it gets the same reputation here in the coming years. Their classic Dou Pi (filled bean skin) snacks are fried to a beautiful golden brown and stuffed with rice, veggies, and meat — making it the perfect breakfast plan to start your day.

08 • CROLO (halal)

Trendy desserts that are this affordable don’t come by every day. CROLO is Swee Heng Bakery’s foray into the world of specialty concept stores, and they’ve knocked it out of the park! Their baked goods are made from scratch every morning, and let’s be honest — where else in Singapore can you get Caramel Custard Croissants and Taiwan Purple Sweet Potato Yams for less than $2? Other highlights include the aromatic Almond Cheese Danish Sandwich Loaf and the Hi-Calcium Cheese Crispy Croissant.

09 • Chocolate Origin (halal)

Every time we pass by a Chocolate Origin outlet, the store’s sharp angles and backlit displays make us feel like we’re staring into some kind of miniature car showroom. Against these lights, the thick and uniform darkness of the Milk Truffles and Lava Cakes threatens to swallow our gaze into its depths if we stare too long. To all Westies who somehow haven’t spent their life savings at this Jurong Point cake shop yet, we salute you. 🫡

10 • Mister Donut

Mister Donut has been making waves and causing a nationwide sugar rush ever since its first local pop in 2022. Now, the all-too-popular doughnut store has finally expanded westwards, thanks to its Jurong Point branch. Queues have thinned out a bit since its first opening, but that hasn’t stopped tonnes of pastry aficionados from snacking on the famously gooey Pon de Ring doughnuts on the daily. It’s also one of the best places to go for French Cruller donuts, which have an amazingly light and airy texture despite being deep fried.

📍 Unit no.: #B1-83/85
⏰ Opening hours: 11am – 9pm daily

11 • Ji De Chi (halal)

Bingsu has been a dessert darling amongst Singaporeans for the past few years, but Ji De Chi remains unbeatable for those looking for a more Hong Kong-inspired take on ice desserts. The shaved ice here is cut into wavy strips, allowing its flavour to spread across the tongue more evenly. It’s then mixed with an indulgent flavour of your choice, such as Durian Pomelo Sago and Matcha Aiyu. Warm Chinese desserts are also served here for the brain-freeze-phobes among us.

📍 Unit no.: #02-38
⏰ Opening hours: 10.30am – 10pm daily
