The chain brings Hokkaido's creamy flavours to Singapore, its cosy, wood-panelled interior offering a warm escape for remote workers. Using BIEI Jersey Milk, it crafts rich drinks and desserts. The intimate setup and soft lighting enhance focus. They make a mean Mayo (S$9.80) with smashed boiled eggs, mustard butter, Japanese mayo, kapa zuke and red onion. However, the absolute must-try here is the Hokkaido Cream Puff (S$7 each, 3 for S$19.50). I could tell you tales but words will not live up to the experience.

You can't go wrong with the Japanese Chicken Curry (S$19) — the curry-marinated boneless chicken leg and curry mayo work wonders on atop the toasted sourdough. The Hash Sando (S$19) is another delicious find. A Babycino will set you back just S$3 but I prefer the Hot Organic Cocoa (S$7). Wi-Fi & Sockets: Free, reliable Wi-Fi; power sockets at communal tables.

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.

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.

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).
