10 Boon Lay Food That Makes Taking The MRT Until Your Butt Pain Worth It

16th December 2016

Boon Lay food boleh!


While Boon Lay is more often associated with NTU or Malaysia than food, this ulu corner of Singapore actually has some pretty good stuff to eat. Whether youโ€™re into restaurants, cafes or kopitiam stalls, you can definitely find some awesome eats to fill your tummy here. Whatโ€™s more, you can easily do it without busting your budget!ย 


1. Ho Huat Fried Hokkien Mee

The thing that can make or break a plate of fried hokkien mee is its broth. Ho Huatโ€™s Fried Hokkien Mee ($4 to $8) comes with a thick and delicious broth that coats the generous amount of mixed noodles before you. Along with a dollop of sambal and a squeeze of lime, this is one awesome plate of hokkien mee to have.

Archipelago Creamery is a corner cafe tucked in Nanyang Community Club, close to NTU. Whileย they are better known for their decadent Chocolate Banana Shibuya Toast ($14.80), theyโ€™ve also got waffles, pancakes and more recently, matcha rose tarts. Waffles go at half price on weekdays, 12pm to 6pm, so students who need a place to eat while mugging after school can consider this cosy spot!

Update: Iko Sushi has since closed down.

Formerly known as Pits and Pans, Iko Sushi is a new and re-branded Japanese restaurant located at Nanyang Community Club. Come here for a bowl of Chirashi Don ($12.80) thatโ€™s cheaper than what youโ€™d find at most places elsewhere. It comes with generous chunks of salmon and tuna, as well as prawns and ikura. FYI, itโ€™s opened by the same people behind Archipelago Creamery!

If you want legit hawker food with aircon, Malaysia Boleh is it. This themed food court is located on the second floor of Jurong Point and is home to a large variety of Malaysian dishes such as Klang Bak Kut Teh ($5.50), KL Wonton Mee ($3.50), and Penang Road Cendol ($2). Even though food is a little pricier than at regular food courts, itโ€™s really quite tasty considering itโ€™s found within a shopping mall.

Opening hours: Daily 11am to 10pm


5.ย Beer Butt Chicken

Famous for Spaghetti from Hell ($26++) thatโ€™s said to bring down even the most hardcore spicy food lovers, Southwest Tavern is definitely not a place for the weak at tummy. Polish off the entire dish in 10 minutes and win two towers of beer or a $100 dining voucher. For those whoโ€™d rather relax while eating, get Beer Butt Chicken ($32++) instead. And get ready to โ€˜gram it because itโ€™s literally a whole roasted chicken that sits on a can of beer. The beer is said to make the chicken stay juicy and fragrant while allowing its skin to become crispy.

Heng Huat Boon Lay Boneless Duck Noodles at Boon Lay Food Village has been around for almost three generations. The long queues daily are a testament to the quality of these Boneless Duck Noodles ($3.50) coated in a special dark sauce and topped with bean sprouts. The stall owners are known to serve very generous portions of bean sprouts with the noodles, so tau gay haters should speak up while ordering. Be sure to queue early, as the noodles are often sold out by lunch time.

Opening hours: Tue-Sat 5:45am to 10am, 4:45pm to 7pm, Sun 5:45am to 10am


7.ย Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak is one nasi lemak stall practically all NTU kids know and love. And for good reason, as every packet packs a punch and you can choose to have a little feast by ordering sides like rendang and sayur lodeh (vegetable curry). A standard set that includes their must-have fried chicken wing costs $3.

Address: Blk 221B Boon Lay Place, #01-106, Boon Lay Place Food Village, Singapore 642221

8.ย Boon Lay Satay

Most satay stalls sell only chicken and beef satay, but Boon Lay Satay sells pork satay too. At $0.60 per stick, the meat is chunky and pleasantly charred. The spicy peanut sauce is something youโ€™ll wanna keep dipping your cucumber slices into as well. Some say they can finish selling by 9pm, so play safe by going there early to join the queue.

Address: Blk 221B Boon Lay Place, #01-146, Boon Lay Place Food Village, Singapore 642221
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 12:30pm to 11pm, Sat-Sun 1:30pm to 11pm

Spicy foodย lovers, make sure you order Hotplate Stingray ($8 onwards) from Sin Chew Huat (Mei Xiang) Hotplate Stingray at Boon Lay Market. The stingray comes sizzling in its juices and youโ€™re bound to fall in love with the tasty and spicy sambal that tops it. Though the portion isnโ€™t huge, the meat is succulent and thick.

Address: Blk 221B Boon Lay Place, #01-117, Boon Lay Place Food Village, Singapore 642221
Opening hours: Daily 12pm to 12am


10.ย Kabe no Ana

Those who want to have HTHT with friends over a meal can go to Kabe no Ana at Jurong Point. It is nicely decorated with pretty photographs everywhere, and spacious enough for a private conversation. The restaurant specialises in Japanese-style pastas, including a variety of mentaiko ones thatโ€™ll make fish roe lovers go crazy. That being said, I really likedย Sausage & Spicy Garlic Mushroom Pasta ($15.90++). The sauce was thick, hearty and so good that I found myself scraping the plate even after all the noodles were gone.
