13 best food places in Westgate to eat from when visiting Jurong

It seems only yesterday that Westgate opened its doors in Jurong East as a new food, family and lifestyle hub. What can't you find here? Westgate has it all – a massive garden-themed playground, electronics stores, an arcade, a supermarket, clothes stores and, of course, a whole lot of eateries. If you come around in the evenings, you can also catch live performers singing their hearts out and contributing to the jolliness. It's even directly linked to the MRT station for added convenience. With its open-air design and lush greenery, the mall exudes an air of comfort and familiarity. This is especially so for me, as I have frequented this mall since I was a child. So, here are my 13 food place recommendations for whoever's interested in visiting this vibrant mall. Fans of 'Chinese burgers' or roujiamo, keep a lookout for Bingz in Basement 1. Founded in Beijing, Bingz is a popular Chinese eatery brand with outlets in Canada, and China and 5 branches in Singapore. Westgate was its first Singapore outlet when the flagship store opened back in 2023. What can you get here? For starters, you could go for The Signature Pork (S$5.59), Spicy Chicken (S$5.59) or Butter Chicken (S$5.99) from the Crispy section. They're just like the name – deliciously meaty and crispy buns. Chinese burgers aren't all that Bingz serves. Get your chopsticks ready to try its noodle dishes – the Sizzling Chilli Noodles (S$6.99, S$8.99 with pork), Hot & Sour Glass Noodles (S$6.69) and Cold Noodles () (S$6.59 sesame, S$5.99 chilli oil). +65 6530 3466 Daily: 10am – 10pm | Order Delivery: foodpanda Famous Osaka ramen brand Next Shikaku's first and only Singapore outlet resides in Westgate. This atas restaurant is small and dimly lit but promises big and bold flavours. Its speciality is its oyster broth and high-quality handmade noodles. The signature is made using luxurious slow-cooked oyster broth, giving the ramen a unique umami flavour. It costs S$17.90 for Single or S$20.90 for Special, which comes with a ramen egg and more meat. Upgrade it to the Beef Sushi set (S$21.50) for extra sushi made with medium rare beef slices. (S$16.90 for Single, S$19.90 for Special), ramen with clear oyster soup, and(S$19.90 for Single, 22.90 for Special) tsukemen (dipping noodles) are the other two mains provided. For sides, the crispy Fried Oysters (S$11.90) served with lemon and salt are a must-try. +65 6592 5060 Daily: 11am – 10pm Scarlett Supermarket is the absolute GOAT when it comes to looking for snacks and street food in shopping malls. The larger outlet of the 2 in Westgate houses not just a grocery store but also several Chinese food stalls, including Sichuan Braised Delights. My go-to here is the Volcanic Stone Roasted Sausages (direct translation), which are cooked on literal hot stones. One costs S$3, but you can get a S$1 discount by buying 2 sausages for S$5. Remember to ask for chilli powder if you like spice to go with the meatiness. That's not all. This stall serves a unique variety of Chinese snacks like marinated chicken feet, roasted meats and seasoned vegetable dishes. You can even watch the staff cooking (Chinese-style egg wraps) (from S$5.50) through the glass while you wait for your order. Daily: 9am – 11pm | | Since I was a child, I've visited Nunsaram's headquarters outlet whenever my family and I felt an urge to eat something cold and sweet. There's a decent range of bingsu (Korean shaved ice) flavours to choose from here, as well as savoury Korean dishes like (seaweed rice wrap) (S$10.90 for Original) and rice cakes (S$8.90 for Original). I highly recommend the (S$12.90 for Regular, S$15.90 for Large). It's a sweet mountain of shaved milk ice topped with kinako (roasted soybean powder) and injeolmi (Korean rice cake) bits and served with a small bowl of condensed milk for drizzling. Another option is Green Tea (S$13.90 for Regular, S$16.90 for Large), which comes with almonds, azuki red bean paste and matcha ice cream. Did you know? Nunsaram means 'snowman', which explains the adorable mascot at the entrance. +65 6565 4787 Daily: 11.30am – 10pm | Order Delivery: foodpanda Deliveroo Rice wine bubble teas aren't a common sight, but guess what? Tastea in Scarlett Supermarket understood the assignment – it serves rice wine drinks alongside the usual suspects like bubble milk tea and fruit tea. The alcohol levels of the Osmanthus Rice Wine Milk Tea (S$5.90) and Strawberry Peach Gum Rice Wine Tea (S$6.50) are fairly low, so don't worry about getting drunk from just a cup. They do however make for refreshing beverages with their fermented rice sweetness and chewy konjac pearls. Besides the drinks, you can also dig into desserts like the Yam Sets (S$3.90) or their mochi treats. The Mix with Cheese Cream (S$12.90) comes with 4 flavours of coated mochi, biscuit crumbles and sea salt cheese cream for dipping. I got a Mango for S$3.90 which, while slightly watery, still tasted sweet and fresh. +65 9732 7993 Daily: 10.30am – 9.30pm | Order Delivery: Deliveroo Just S$19.90+ for an all-you-can-eat Hong Kong-style hotpot at Paradise Hotpot?

This popular French-Japanese restaurant in Westgate serves mainly fusion sweets and pasta inspired by the flavours and dishes of both cultures. According to my peers, the Dark Chocolate Souffle (S$13.80) and (S$8.80) are to die for. They're rich and sweet, especially the Creme Brulee which consists of a creamy vanilla custard under a delicate caramelised sugar shell.

This one shares the space with QCD Technology, an electronics shop. Order their Sweet (miracle in Japanese) Pancakes like the signature Maple Butter Cream (S$12.80) or Biscoff and Banana (S$16.80) to satisfy your sweet tooth. You can also explore their savoury pancake options like the Salmon Avocado (S$18.80) or Japanese Curry and Chicken (S$19.80) if they're more to your liking. +65 9872 6344 Mon to Thu: 11am – 8pm Fri: 11am – 8.30pm Sat: 10.30am – 8.30pm Sun: 10.30am – 8pm | Order Delivery: foodpanda Deliveroo With outlets in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut is an Indonesian cuisine spot famed for its signature halal bebek goreng (crispy fried duck). This dish is a unique and original twist on ayam penyet, a local dish of tender smashed fried chicken leg.

Those not into duck can opt for the Original + (S$9.90) to enjoy the dish with fried chicken instead.

Westgate is home to the first overseas outlet of Chaffic, an Australian-Chinese beverage brand and the creator of Australia's first Tofu Milk Tea. Pudding lovers may like the Original Tofu Milk Tea (S$5.80 for Regular, S$6.80 for Large) – the tofu has a consistency similar to custard pudding with a hint of soybean. Tea bases consist of fragrant Red Robe, Jasmine, Wuyi and Peach , from which you can select one for your drink.

I can't say I've compared the two, but Zus Coffee does whip up some pretty good drinks. The Malaysian coffee chain opened its second Singapore outlet at Westgate in Feb 2025, with the first and third located at Changi Airport and Sentosa respectively. Usually, customers go for the Zus Signatures, such as the CEO Latte (S$4.90), Spanish Latte (S$5.90) and Coconut Latte (S$4.90). More adventurous options include Zus (S$5.50) and the Watermelon Latte (S$5.50) which, by the way, tastes exactly like its name. If you're a kopi or teh gao lover like me, the Latte series is worth considering. The Dark Oolong Latte (S$5.90) in particular is quite strong – the robust tea fragrance goes well with the coffee but overpowers it a little.

The only food item on its menu is, of course, their Japanese Curry Cheese Bread (S$5.60).

This curry is encased in milk bread, which is then covered with breadcrumbs and deep-fried for a crispy hot exterior. Giraffa's name means 'giraffe' in Italian, which was dubbed by the company in hopes that their curry buns would be so popular that customers crane their necks like the long-necked creatures to wait for it. +65 6592 7783 Daily: 10am – 10pm | 10 best food spots at AMK Hub for dining in or takeaway [Mar 2025 update] The post 13 best food places in Westgate to eat from when visiting Jurong appeared first on
