10 best dining spots at Chinatown Point
Chinatown Point stands out amongst a sea of colonial shophouses and vintage shopping malls in good-old Chinatown. The mall boasts a variety of cafes, small eateries, and restaurants ranging from Japanese delights to Thai food and hotpot.
I’ve scouted every floor of the shopping mall and put together a food guide showcasing the 10 best dining places to explore for food at Chinatown Point. Take your pick!
1. Wu Wang Guo (#03-09/10/11/12/13/14)
If you’re a hotpot fanatic looking for a late-night supper spot, look no further. Wu Wang Guo is the place for you.
Located on the 3rd floor of Chinatown Point, customers can look forward to a wide variety of insanely good soups, freshly-made ingredients and excellent service. To get a complete experience, get the Quart Pot which allows you to relish 4 of their soups.
Besides their newest soup base, the Golden Fish Maw with Pig Stomach Soup (S$7), try the WWG Collagen Beauty Soup (S$11), WWG Spicy Tom Yam Soup (S$7) and Nourishing Drunken Chicken Soup (S$8) too.
Make sure you get the Assorted Beef Platter (S$78.80), which comes with 4 types of beef: US prime short rib, beef brisket, Japan A5 Wagyu beef and sliced US beef. If it’s too much, you can choose to order them à la carte in half and full portions.

2. Kiwami (#02-38)
If you love the famed Japanese noodle dish, ramen, then Kiwami is the place to book a seat at. Utilising only the finest quality ingredients, their tonkotsu broth is painstakingly simmered for over 10 hours using only Japanese pork bones. Hokkaido wheat is used in the making of their noodles which matches perfectly with their broth.
What’s highly recommended is the Premium Kiwami Tonkotsu Ramen (S$13.90), which is their original-recipe pork broth ramen with toroniku cha shu (tender roast pork cheek).
The Japanese eatery also has interesting special varieties such as Yuzu Ramen (S$15.90) and Mala Ramen (S$16.90). You can even choose to go big with their add-ons such as Ramen Egg (+S$2), Mentaiko (+S$3.50) or Corn (+S$1).
If you’re dining in a group and are worried that some of your friends aren’t keen on ramen, you can rest assured. Kiwami’s diverse menu also features a variety of fried rice, mazesoba, and small bites like Age Tofu (S$4.90) and Truffle Edamame (S$4.90).
