Jurong Point Food Guide: 20 Restaurants And Cafes To Eat At In This Boon Lay Mall

With several of my aunts living in the area and my old army camp a short bus ride away, Jurong Point def holds many memories for me. I remember its earlier years as a humble shopping centre, back when Fish & Co. and Soup Restaurant were its fancier offerings, and long before a second wing, two food streets, and a spanking condo were added to it.

While this mall has transformed in the past decade, I could always count on it to pamper me with a hearty meal. So if you’re looking for food in the West, bookmark this page and check out these best restaurants and cafes in Jurong Point.

1. Mister Donut

Mister Donut officially opened at Jurong Point in April 2024, serving up a wide range of delicious mochi doughnuts. Some popular mainstay flavours include the Pon De Ring ($2.30), great for those who want something simple yet moreish, and the Singapore-exclusive Strawberry Chocolate ($2.50).

The doughnut chain has been on a roll recently, coming up with new flavours such as purple sweet potato doughnuts and kopi and kaya doughnuts in collaboration with Ya Kun Kaya Toast. We encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming interesting launches!

2. Cai Lin Ji

Cai Lin Ji is a famous breakfast eatery from China that’s been around since 1928. During our visit, we really enjoyed their Xiang Yang Beef Noodles ($10.90++) for its spicy, robust broth.

There was a slight tangy aftertaste, which reminded us of suan la tang! Pair your noodles with the Three Delicacies Dou Pi ($8.50++ for two). This popular Chinese street snack was packed with meat, mushrooms, and glutinous rice, then pan-fried to achieve a crispy golden brown skin.

3. Auntie Anne’s

You Westies are lucky to have Auntie Anne’s first-ever dine-in cafe. Aside from their pretzels, you can indulge in a good variety of snacks and sandwiches.

The Pretzel Pocket ($2.50) is a hassle-free option for those on the go; this is essentially a crispy puff made using pretzel dough, filled with Chicken Curry, Creamy Potato, or Sardine. For something more filling, their sandwiches, which come in three flavours, are a great choice.

Our pick was the Egg Mayo ($5.90), starring fresh greens and creamy egg mayo. Here comes our favourite bit—the ingredients are packed between a pretzel roll, making the sandwich crispy and savoury. Read our Auntie Anne’s Jurong Point feature.

Take for example, their signature Fried Heng Hwa Bee Hoon (from $12.80++), a straightforward medley of sun-dried vermicelli, prawns, clams and pork belly—all tossed into a wok to be transformed into a salivating plate of springy and umami-laced noodles.
