Food court in Raffles City closed till Jul for renovations
For regular visitors to Raffles City, here's a heads up that The Food Place by Food Junction is undergoing renovations and will be closed for the next 3 months. The Level 3 indoor food court by Food Junction ceased operations on 21 Apr to commence the renovation works. According to a sign set up outside, it will reopen in early Jul and will likely be replaced by Food Republic. 'Stay tuned for a fresh new concept by Food Republic,' the notice read. While separate, Food Junction and Food Republic are both brands under the BreadTalk Group, with the company acquiring Food Junction in 2019. Besides the announcement, customers had noticed physical changes to The Food Place during the days leading up to the temporary closure. For instance, one pointed out that several stalls such as Sarawak Kolo Mee had already cleared their space and exited the food court. With over 20 food stalls selling a variety of cuisines, it had been a steady source of sustenance for the CBD workers during their breaks. The lineup included Odeon Beef Noodles, Shen Xi Imperial Soup, Chirashi-Tei and Penang Chendul. While many view The Food Place fondly and speak highly of it, there's no escaping the fact that it did get quite a few scathing Google reviews. Most of the complaints were regarding the low-quality fare and unpleasant service from the staff. Other negative comments included the lack of cleanliness, dirty utensils and overly expensive fare. '[The] food court is situated in a first-class shopping mall. But the food and service [are] third-class,' one read. On the other hand, some customers enjoyed their dining experience. In their reviews, they praised the wide selection of meal choices, the cleanliness, the service and the generous portions. Regardless of how one feels about The Food Place in Raffles City, one thing's for sure. With the renovations commencing, we can only wait until early Jul to view the changes and upgrades to the new Food Republic food court.

Food Junction at NEX has a new look & new stalls like Yuen Kee Dumpling & Song Fa Express
NEX is almost like a second home to me. This sprawling mall is the largest one in the North-East, and is packed with dozens of dining options. It even has 2 whole food courts – Food Republic, located at B2, and Food Junction, located at level 4. The latter closed for renovations on 17 Feb 2025, and has just reopened with a fresh new look and over 20 stalls. The food court's signage is now a cheery bright yellow. Inside, diners can spot art prints and a large pair of googly eyes on the wall at the back of the food court. It's also running daily promotions for the entirety of April. One of the more anticipated stalls is Yuen Kee Dumpling, a popular Chinese dumpling brand which has another outlet in Fortune Centre. When I visited Food Junction, the stall wasn't ready yet, but it is expected to be operational soon. Go Teppan Go is your go-to for teppanyaki – it seemed to be popular with patrons as all the seats were fully occupied. Carnivore Dongbei Braised Meat sells various braised meat rice platters. I spotted intriguing dishes like Pork Spine Bone with Rice (S$7.90), which sounds incredibly metal. There's also Beef Shank with Rice (S$10.90) and a vegetarian option in the form of Mixed Braised Vegetables Rice with Braised Egg (S$5.50). Heng Heng Herbal Soup specialises in boiled soups, with comfort dishes like ABC Pork Ribs Soup (S$7.90) and Fish Maw Pork Tripe Pepper Soup (S$10.90). Everyone's favourite sizzling hot-plate rice, Pepper Lunch Express, returns as well. Song Fa Kway Chap Express is a spin off from the famous Michelin Bib Gourmand Song Fa Bak Kut Teh. You can get braised items such as intestines, duck, and kway chap here. Other stalls include: Ampang Yong Tau Foo Egg Thai Fitra Chicken Rice JJ Japanese Cuisine King Grouper Fish Soup Lao Ban Niang Mixed Rice Lobster King Pao Fan Mee First Minced Meat Noodles Monster Western Riverside Indonesian BBQ Seng Kee Hokkien Mee • Carrot Cake • Fried Kway Teow Toast Junction What The Fish Wok Paradise Xiao Man Niu Mala Hotpot Zhen Shi Korean Cuisine Which stall are you most excited to try? Let us know! Personally, as a big fan of soupy things with seafood, I'm going to hit up Lobster King Pao Fan and What The Fish.
