However, although this list is not exhaustive, it should help you get started pretty easily – ready to eat your heart out? Let’s go!
1. 328 Katong Laksa
Chinese | $ | Non-Halal
Famous for whooping Ramsay’s ass in the Hawker Hero challenge, 328 Katong Laksa is a famous name in Singapore, and if you’re at Westgate for food, then why not slurp some of this goodness?
The gravy is thick, rich, flavourful and pretty spicy – sure to run your nose! Portions are quite standard for today’s serving size for what less than $10 can buy you these days. The laksa also comes with shrimp, cockles, fishcake, and tofu, as well as bean sprouts.
Must try dishes: There’s only one other variation of laksa besides their OG that is the shredded chicken laksa. Both are still served with the same broth. You also have an option to add other sides like soft boiled eggs. Never heard of eggs in laksa but I do prefer the shredded chicken version.
Price range : $7.00-$10.00

Must try dishes : You cannot go wrong trying their Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. One reviewer says, “Outside’s crunchy while insides are so soft. Not too sweet, which really surprised me!,” and we couldn’t agree more. For those who want to double down on their sweet treat, match your cookie to their milk shakes that are available in 4 different flavours – our favourite is their Original Milkshake!

Must try dishes: Crowd favourite when it comes to their fried chicken are soy garlic, yangyeom and monster. But if you want something heavier, go for their Rabokki which is the combination of ramyeon and tteokbokki. Oh and did we say that this Westgate place serves halal food?

French + Japanese | $$ | Non-Halal
French and Japanese? We say why not! There are a few other Westgate Japanese food options but this might be the most creative one you’ll find. The menu is filled with dishes inspired from classic Japanese and French cuisine, made from fresh and sustainable ingredients.

7. Curry Times
Singaporean | $ | Certified Halal
Feeling like having local instead while looking for Westgate food places? Curry Times should be your pick! This is also one of the Westgate halal food places that you can find to enjoy with your Muslim mates. Curry Times is run by Old Chang Kee and IYKYK, the food is definitely a step above the rest.
Must try dishes: Sure you can get Curry Chicken everywhere, but curry chicken here hits different – it’s authentic, just a touch savoury but definitely hearty. You can have it with rice or paratha but I would suggest going with the bread instead. It hits different when you get to soak the bread and have the sweetness of the bread merge with the spice of the curry. Another crowd favourite is their fish curry head, which is much lighter than the chicken curry since they have used evaporated milk instead – if you want something healthier.
Price range: From $8.90

8. Flipper’s
Western | $$ | Certified Halal
Souffle pancakes for lunch or dinner? Yes please! Flipper is actually one of Westgate’s Japanese food places that offer a full menu for lunch or dinner. However, they are extremely famous for the jiggly souffle pancakes that they serve.
Must try dishes: Go for their Maple Butter Cream Souffle pancake also known as sweet kiseki. It is no doubt quite sweet but also pillowy and creamy. While they also have a range of savoury pancakes like Japanese Curry and Chicken Katsu, I am personally not a big fan of savoury pancakes. But, hey, to each its own right?
Price range: From $15.50
| Address | 3 Gateway Dr, #01-42, Singapore |
| Operation Hours | 11.00AM – 8.30PM, Sunday to Thursday

9. Nunsaram Korean Dessert
Korean | $$ | Halal (not certified)
If you cannot get enough of dessert then Nunsaram Korean Dessert cannot be skipped. It’s probably the only Westgate Korean food place that serves a large range of Korean desserts.
Must-try dishes: If you want something more authentically Japanese, try their Green Tea Bingsu. This bowl of ice shaved goodness is served with red bean paste, almond shavings as well as a dollop of matcha ice cream. The injeolmi bingsu is also pretty authentic – it’s topped with roasted soybean powder and injeolmi which are korean rice cake bits. The shaved ice itself has a milk flavour.

10. Shake Shack
Italian | $$ | Halal (not certified)
Tired of all the Korean, Chinese and Japanese Westgate food places? Fret not, head over to Shake Shack for some good ol ‘burger and fries instead!
Must-try dishes: Almost everything is delicious at Shake Shack but if we really had to pick one, we’d say keep it simple and go for their signature ShackBurger. You hear patrons raving about their beef patties because they are made with Angus beef! The burger is served with potato buns too! Even if you skip the burgers, do not skip their shakes – they are one of a kind! Try the Singapore Special Shake which is a vanilla custard drink blended with pandan and coconut, topped with gula melaka crumble.
