12 best food places at Suntec City for post-shopping refuel & recharge

Suntec City is one of Singapore’s largest shopping malls and entertainment spots boasting over 360 retail outlets and an abundance of dining options with restaurants, bars, food courts and snack stands in the lineup to satisfy just about anybody.

Besides being anchored by its world-class convention centre which hosts various events such as the COMEX IT Show and GAMESCOM ASIA annually, it also houses the iconic bronze Fountain of Wealth. The fountain embodies vibrancy in bringing our community together for the celebration of wealth and good health, and is nestled right smack at the centre among Suntec City’s 5 prestigious office towers.

After filtering and selecting several F&B places, here is my guide to the 12 best food places at Suntec City for post-shopping refuel and recharge after you’ve explored the massive space it offers for your shopping and entertainment needs.

1. Asian Twist Express (#02-601)

The menu at Asian Twist Express is a mish-mash of Asian dishes with Japanese and Korean influences. The eatery also comes up with quirky names for their dishes like Cheek–Ko–Pek (S$29.90), Netfish & Chill (S$12.90) and Michael Chickson (S$15.90).

All of their mains come with 365 Signature Rice, which is a garlic fried rice. You may also opt to top up S$3 to get Cold Cha Soba or Salad Mix. You can also add S$1 to convert your mains into a set, which allows you to choose between hot coffee, tea and yuan yang.

We tried the Cluck Norris (S$8.90) which raves about having the softest and juiciest fresh chicken breast you’ll ever eat. The pieces of chicken were resting atop a bed of 365 Signature Rice and sprinkled with furikake, served with soft-boiled egg.

They weren’t kidding about the chicken, though. I had to double check to see if the meat was undercooked, as I haven’t had anything quite like it. It was cooked through but yet possessed an ultra tender and moist doneness.

This place also has a range of Signature Hummus with Tortilla Chips (S$8.90). The flavours include Spicy Buffalo Hummus with Tortilla Chips, Sun-dried Tomatoes & Fresh Basil Hummus with Tortilla Chips and Roasted Japanese Pumpkin Hummus with Tortilla Chips.

2. Chopstix & Rice (#B1-100/101)

Originally located at Orchard Towers, Chopstix & Rice at Suntec City is an Indonesian restaurant serving up hearty plates of nasi padang. The place is headed by Madam Loij, who has over 2 decades of cooking experience. The dishes served here are created by her and her son, Wilson Tan.

With Madam Loij clinching the title of ‘Master of Rendang‘, it will be a trip wasted if you don’t order the award-winning Beef Rendang (S$15.90). It uses lob-cut beef and a signature secret chilli paste, passed down by multiple generations.

Also not to be missed is the Ayam Lemak (S$10.90), featuring chicken smothered in golden curry, chilli padi, kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass. Or treat yourself to some delectable Ayam Goreng Belado (S$10.90), a fried chicken dish topped with home-made Belado sauce concocted from a variety of chillies, lime and spices.

Seafood fans can go for the Assam Fish Head (S$29.90) with fresh red grouper head stewed in tangy tamarind, fragrant laksa leaves and home-made chilli paste. Get your daily dose of fibre with their assortment of vegetable options like Chap Chye (S$8.90), Sambal Goreng (S$8.90) and Eggplant Belado (S$8.90).

3. Kiwami Ramen & Gyoza Bar (#02-458)

If you think Kiwami Ramen & Gyoza Bar is a place where you can just fix your ramen and gyoza cravings, you are absolutely wrong. They also offer mazesoba for obsessed fans like me. You must check out their different offerings which include Chicken Nanban Mazesoba (S$17) which features deep-fried chicken with tartar sauce on dry ramen.

The Buta Hoho Black Mazesoba (S$19) blew my mind. My bowl of dry ramen came with succulent pieces of pork jowl, wood ear mushrooms, egg yolk, fried garlic chips, fried shallots, crispy tempura bits, seaweed strips and spring onions, dressed in roasted black garlic oil. You’ll also be given a small dish of sauce (which tasted slightly vinegary) to pour over.

I also enjoyed the Kiwami Tonkotsu Ramen (S$16) which features their original-recipe pork bone broth ramen with chashu. Be there at lunchtime and enjoy their Lunch Set which comes with 3 pieces of grilled gyoza and homemade lemon tea.

There’s also an all-day 1-for-1 Classic Highball at a special price of S$7.50 (U.P S$15) and 1-for-1 Selected Mocktails for S$4.90 (U.P S$9.90).

4) Jyu Lae Bistro (#01-315/316)

Jyu Lae Bistro, the sister branch of Jyu Gae Bistro at Lazada One Building features a mixture of Taiwanese classics, street food, and fusion dishes featuring a blend of Asian flavours. Upon stepping in, be immediately transported to an ancient palace with its red lanterns and Oriental decor, creating a warm and romantic ambience.

If you’re visiting for dinner, take your dining experience up a notch with their daily live band performances, happening from 8pm onwards, for a delightful musical ambience.

If you’re not sure where to begin, the Taiwanese-style egg crepes is an ideal option to start with. Try the good ol’ House Special Taiwanese Ham & Cheese Egg Crepe (S$12.90), which encases a cheesy ham filling with roti prata and served with a garlic soy dip.

You can also indulge in the Red Wine-Braised Pork Ribs with Modern Bak Kut Teh Sauce and Smoked BBQ Sauce (S$33.90) and Mala Madness Chicken Pasta (S$18.90).

For dessert, you must try the Sizzling Croissant Ice Cream with Oolong Tea Caramel Sauce (S$14.90). Two scoops of peanut muah chee ice cream, filled with brown chewy jelly bits, are nestled within a croissant and then served on a sizzling skillet. Next, an oolong tea caramel sauce is drizzled right on top— perfection on a hot plate!

5) Yenly Yours (#01-K6)

Yenly Yours is a cafe that serves dessert and drinks revolving around the Thai mango, with over 15 outlets in Bangkok, and Suntec City just happens to house their very first overseas branch— how cool is that?

To combat the sweltering heat, cool off with their range of mango smoothies. If you’re a bubble tea enthusiast, the Forever Mango No.3 with Blackpearl (S$7.90/S$8.90/S$9.90) combines savoury mango blended smoothie with black pearls, topped with chunky mango cubes.

I tried the Treasure No.5 (S$12.90) which mixes savoury mango smoothie with delicious fresh coconut ‘noodles’, mango chunks and a scoop of homemade mango ice cream. It was refreshing and well-balanced with different textures and flavours.

You can also try Treasure No.2 (S$8.90) that has addictive bits of sago served with mango smoothie, evaporated milk and mango cubes. If mango isn’t your jam, the menu also has an assortment of strawberry smoothies like Oh My God Strawberry No.12 With Yoghurt (S$8.90/S$9.90/S$10.90) and Dirty Strawberry (S$5.90).

7) Kebabchi Charcoal BBQ (#B1-146)

Serving authentic Pakistani street food, Halal-certified Kebabchi Charcoal BBQ has a plethora of delicious meat kebabs, curries, freshly made naans, biryani and even desserts.

Enjoy the smoky flavours of the meats which are cooked over charcoal. You’ll not be able to resist the Chicken Malai Tikka (S$12), where fresh herbs, cream, cheese and lime juice are used to marinate the boneless chicken cubes before they are grilled to perfection.

Try their Chicken Seekh Kebab (S$12) and Mutton Seekh Kebab (S$14), which are minced meats seasoned with fresh ground herbs and spices moulded onto a skewer.

If you want something more unique, relish in the Paneer Achari Tikka (S$16) which are cottage cheese cubes marinated with yoghurt and pickled spices.

Still have space for dessert? Enjoy a sweet ending with the Gulab Jamun (S$5) or Kheer (S$5) (sweet rice pudding topped with crushed nuts).

10. Kageyama (#02-605)

With Kageyama clinching the gold medalist award for Tokyo Ramen Of The Year 2021 to 2023, every bowl of ramen should meet high standards of quality and consistency.

Instead of the usual pork-based tonkotsu broth, Kageyama uses tori paitan which is made by boiling chicken bones until the liquid becomes rich and creamy. You can also choose between shio and shoyu for your soup base.

There are a ton of different ramen flavours for you to check out. If you’re feeling adventurous, order the Meatball (S$14.90) or Scallop (S$14.90). Otherwise, purists can get the Cha Shu (S$11.90 for 1 piece, S$14.90 for 3 pieces) or Yakibuta (S$15.90) (barbecued pork).

The muslim-owned Turkish eatery is helmed by Chef Celal, who is the brother of Chef Ahmet from The Mediterranean Deli Turk at Far East Plaza. Since he learnt from the best Turkish chefs in Turkiye in his father’s restaurant, rest assured that you’ll be in for a treat!
