13 Must-Try Stalls At Taman Jurong Food Centre – Famous Lor Mee, Sambal Stingray, Roast Meat & More

Taman Jurong Food Centre is a multi-storey hawker centre in Jurong West. It is home to many famous stalls selling a variety of scrumptious delicacies like Roast Pork Rice, Bak Chor Mee, Western Food, Lor Mee, and even Thin Crust Pizzas. The hawker centre is bright and clean, making it a great place to enjoy your meal. After eating here for a number of years, I have compiled a list of my favourite stalls, arranged in alphabetical order below.

1. 58 Minced Meat Noodle

Located on the third floor beside the escalator, 58 Minced Meat Noodle is famous for their delicious bak chor mee.

My sumptuous bowl of Bak Chor Mee ($5) came with pork slices, braised mushrooms, button mushrooms, minced meat, pork liver, and pork lard. I chose mee kia for the noodles.

All the toppings were fresh and delicious. The highlight for me was the pork liver, which had a wonderful “QQ” texture.

The noodles were cooked slightly too soft for my liking, but the sauce was tasty and not too spicy.

The crunchy pieces of pork lard hidden within the noodles were sinful, but as everyone knows, these greasy bits of goodness are essential to making bak chor mee taste good!

Unit Number: #03-150
Opening Hours: 9am to 2pm, Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

2. 7 TEA Cafe 台灣茶飲小舖

7 TEA Café 台灣茶飲小舖 is a small bubble tea stall that sells quality BBT at very affordable prices. Their bubble teas start from just $1.50, which is probably the cheapest in Singapore.

I tried the Bubble Milk Tea ($2.50), with 30% sugar level and less ice. It was surprisingly good! The milk tea was smooth and creamy, and the pearls were chewy and sweet.

I was glad that it did not taste bland like some low quality bubble teas out there. While it wasn’t as good as the large BBT chains, it was definitely great value for money.

Unit number: #03-142
Opening Hours: Daily 11am to 7pm

3. BBQ Seafood

BBQ Seafood is a famous stall that sells one of the best sambal stingray in Singapore. Expect a long queue when you visit, especially during dinner peak hours.

I ordered the $10 Sambal Stingray, which I find to be a decent sized portion to share with one other person. Go for the $13 portion if you’re a big eater.

I knew that my stingray was arriving when I heard the sizzling sounds of the hot plate!

It was served with a kaffir lime on the side, which I squeezed all over the fish to give it extra flavour.

The stingray meat was thick and juicy with an enticing smokey flavour – very satisfying!

The slather of sambal sauce covering the fish was savoury and feisty, but not too spicy. The raw onion slices provided balance for the strong flavours.

I enjoyed eating the stingray with the dipping sauce of pickled onions and lime juice, which had a pleasant sweet-tangy taste.

While BBQ Seafood is best known for their sambal stingray, their other dishes are good too. Remember to also check out their Sambal Sotong ($12), Sambal Kangkong ($7), and Sambal Petai ($7).

Unit number: #03-178
Opening Hours: | Mon to Fri: 3pm – 8.30pm | Sat & Sun: 12pm – 8.30pm |

4. ButterNut

ButterNut is a Western fusion food stall famous for their delicious thin-crust pizzas. The stall has been Muis Halal Certified since 2017.

Their signature ButterNut Chicken Pizza ($6.90) is a must-try! It consists of oven baked Italia-Indica chicken slices, roasted butternut chunks, and rosemary herbs.

After the pizza is taken out of the oven, it is given a quick torching which softens the butternut and brings out its sweetness.

The delicate sweetness of the butternut went perfectly with the juicy chicken chunks, and I enjoyed the aromatic aftertaste of the rosemary herbs.

The highlight was the crust, which was amazingly thin. It was super tasty and crunchy too!

This scrumptious pizza definitely exceeded my expectations.

You can order delivery through their preorder form or Facebook page. It is strongly recommended to order takeaway in advance too, because the stall can get really busy during peak hours.

Unit number: #02-108
Opening Hours: | Tue to Thurs: 11am to 2pm, 6pm to 9pm | Fri & Sat: 11am to 2pm, 6pm to 11pm | Sun: 11am to 2pm, 6pm to 9pm | Closed on Mondays |

5. 水粿 (Taman Jurong Chwee Kueh)

To be honest, when I went to check out 水粿 (Taman Jurong Chwee Kueh), it was partially because I like eating chwee kueh, but also because I wanted to support the elderly uncle who runs the stall by himself.

The chwee kuehs are really affordable, selling at 3 for $1, 5 for $1.50, and 10 for $3. If you pack the chye poh separately you will need to pay an additional $0.30.

I bought five chwee kuehs ($1.50) to try. To my pleasant surprise, they were really tasty.

The rice cakes were smooth and not too oily. They had a dense and chewy texture which provided a nice mouthfeel in every bite.

The chye poh toppings were savoury and addictive with a bit of sweetness. I liked that they were not too oily as well.

And of course, no chwee kueh experience would be complete without the chilli sauce. The chilli sauce here was tasty and feisty with a lingering dried shrimp fragrance – which agreed very well with me.

This old school stall does not boast any fancy accolades, but it can certainly hold its own with other more famous chwee kueh stalls in Singapore.

Unit number: #02-67
Opening Hours: Daily 6am to 1.30pm

6. De Ji Hong Kong Soy Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle

De Ji Hong Kong Soy Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle (得记香港油鸡饭面) sells soy sauce chicken rice and noodles dishes.

Note that it is a different stall from the Michelin-starred “Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle” at Chinatown Food Complex.

I ordered the Soy Sauce Chicken Noodle ($4), which was really satisfying! The noodles were tasty and springy with just the right amount of bite.

The highlight was the chicken drumstick, which had a rich soy sauce aroma. The fatty skin was oily and glistening with a smooth texture – a sinful indulgence that I didn’t even feel guilty about.

But what impressed me the most was how tender and juicy the meat was – one of the best I’ve ever eaten!

The soup was warm and savoury with a pleasant herbal fragrance. Remember to eat the chicken with their sweet-feisty chilli sauce too.

Unit number: #02-85
Opening Hours: 6.30am to 2.30pm, Closed on Mondays

7. Feng Zhen Lor Mee 鳳珍鹵麵

Feng Zhen Lor Mee is famous for their delicious lor mee. This popular stall sees crazy long queues every day!

My sumptuous bowl of Lor Mee ($4) came with generous toppings of pork belly, fish cakes, fried pork balls, flaky fish meat, and a braised egg. For just $4, this was really good value!

Surprisingly, the lor mee also came with salted fish, which I had not seen being mentioned in other food blogs before. Perhaps this was a new addition?

Remember to add minced garlic, vinegar and chilli – these are essential condiments for lor mee.

After trying this lor mee, I can understand the hype around it.

The gravy was savoury and luscious, but not overly thick. The yellow noodles had good bite and it was really satisfying to slurp them up with the gravy.

The fried meatballs were chunks of perfection: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I like eating fish so I really enjoyed the tender and flaky Batang fish meat. The chewy salted fish was tasty too and added an extra dimension to the lor mee.

Overall this was a very satisfying bowl of lor mee!

Unit number: #03-146
Opening Hours: 5am to 3pm, Closed on Mondays and Sundays

8. Ng Kee Teochew Fish Ball Kuay Teow Mee

Ng Kee Teochew Fish Ball Kuay Teow Mee (黄记潮州鱼圆粿条面) is an old school fishball noodles stall located in a secluded corner on the third floor. This is another popular stall so be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes during peak periods.

I ordered the dry $5 fishball noodles, which came with a generous amount of ingredients!

The highlight for me was the noodles, which were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of bite. They were nicely coated with the sauce, giving every strand a silky texture. Overall the noodles were well-flavoured without being too salty.

The handmade fishballs had a bouncy texture and I enjoyed the great elasticity in every bite! The handmade fish dumplings and sliced fishcakes were tasty and springy too.

The crispy pork lard may be sinful, but it added a rich oily fragrance and an extra dimension to the noodles (sorry cholesterol level).

While not fantastic, the pork liver, sliced pork and prawns tasted decent and complemented the noodles well.

Another pleasant surprise was the clear soup, which had a natural umami sweetness that was very addictive.

Unit number: #02-64
Opening Hours: | 5.30am to 1pm / sold out | Closed on Weekends and Mondays (may be closed on other days too) |

9. Rong Xing Hakka Yong Tau Fu

Originally a family-run stall at Tanjong Pagar Food Centre, Rong Xing Yong Tau Fu split into two due to a family feud between two sisters. The elder sister’s stall remained at Tanjong Pagar, while the younger sister moved to Taman Jurong Food Centre in 2014.

I visited the Taman Jurong stall on a weekday afternoon and was glad to see that there was still a decent variety of ingredients available.

The soup had a tasty umami flavour that was very addictive. I found some ikan bilis inside which probably contributed to the soup’s natural sweetness.

The ingredients were all fresh, and my favourite was the savoury fried tau kee. I also like adding tomatoes because they help to sweeten the soup.

Both the sweet sauce and chilli sauce were great. The sweet sauce was surprisingly fragrant, while the chilli sauce was savoury and not too spicy.

Overall, the delicious soup, fresh ingredients, and tasty sauces came together nicely to form a very satisfying bowl of yong tau foo.

Unit number: #03-120
Opening Hours: 9am to 7.30pm, Closed on Tuesdays and Fridays.

10. Tien Lai Rice Stall 天來飯店

Tien Lai Rice Stall is a roast meat stall famous for their delicious char siew. They are so popular that customers start queueing even before they open for the day!

I tried the Char Siew Roast Pork Rice ($3.50), which was really delicious.

The char siew was beautifully caramelised, with a perfect balance of sweet and smoky flavours. I loved how flavourful it was in my mouth.

The roast pork was delicious too. The rind was the crispy crackling type, and the meat was juicy with a rich meaty flavour.

To my pleasant surprise, the meats were not served with plain rice, but with tasty flavoured rice instead. It had a lightly-savoury “chicken rice flavour” that was quite addictive!

Their roast duck is good too – flavourful with no gamey odour at all. It had a firm texture and a nice chew.

Unit number: #02-66
Opening Hours: 9.30am to 1pm / sold out, Closed on Saturdays

11. Tom’s Kitchen

Tom’s Kitchen serves quality Western food in large portions at reasonable prices.

My Grilled Chicken Chop ($6) was slathered with luscious mushroom sauce, and came with a side of salad and chunky fries. I was impressed by the huge portion!

The chicken meat was tender and juicy with a smoky, charred flavour. The meat was also thicker than those at other Western food stalls.

The mushroom sauce was the highlight! It was luscious, tasty and savoury, complementing the chicken chop perfectly.

I also added some sweet chill sauce, which gave a tang and an extra dimension to the food.

The chunky fries were tasty and crispy, while the refreshing salad (coleslaw, cucumber and tomato slices) provided balance.

Unit number: #03-130
Opening hours: 12pm to 3pm, 5pm to 8.45pm. Closed on Monday and Thursdays.

12. Yang Jia Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

Yang Jia Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee (楊家炒福建虾面) opened recently in August 2020. It is helmed by young couple Bernard and Sarah. Bernard is in charge of taking orders, while Sarah cooks the Hokkien Mee in a traditional metal wok.

My Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee ($5) was served steaming hot fresh off the wok. I liked that it was moist and glistening with pork lard oil, which is how I like my Hokkien Mee cooked.

The noodles were packed full of robust and rich savoury flavours! And they had a smooth and oily texture which made it so satisfying to slurp them down.

And to my pleasant surprise, the dish had very good wok hei – which is that wonderful hint of smokiness and charred aroma that fleetingly cloaks every strand of noodles.

The chilli was sweet and not too spicy – perfect for mixing in with the noodles. I also squeezed lime juice over the noodles to add some zest and flavour.

The prawns and squids were good “Hokkien-Mee-standard” and complemented the noodles nicely.

On the whole, I was thoroughly impressed that a young lady could cook up such a well-executed plate of Hokkien Mee, which honestly tasted like it had been cooked by a seasoned hawker.

Unit number: #02-106
Opening Hours: | 10.30am to 2pm, 5pm to 8pm / sold out | Closed on Wednesdays |

13. 滋补养生小火锅 (Nourishing Mini Hotpot)

滋补养生小火锅 (Nourishing Mini Hotpot) serves affordable mini hotpot set meals, without the use of MSG. A middle-aged Chinese man runs the stall alone.

I ordered the Chicken Set Meal with Herbal soup ($5). The broth was savoury with distinct sweet herbal notes. It had absorbed the goodness of the other ingredients, giving it a rich and fragrant taste.

The chicken chunks were tender and juicy, with their taste elevated by the rich herbal broth.

The rest of the ingredients like the fishballs and hot dogs were fresh and tasty too. I like eating vegetables so I enjoyed the sweet crunch of the cabbage.

The savoury-feisty chilli served as the perfect condiment because it’s always satisfying to add a little spicy kick when eating hotpot!

On the whole, this was a comforting and affordable mini hotpot meal. While the ingredients are not really “premium” quality, they are fresh and tasty, and will definitely leave you satisfied.
