1. Miam Miam
For delicious French-Japanese fare, head to Miam Miam at Westgate, where you can indulge in a variety of appetisers, mains, and desserts. Their signature Miam Miam Spaghetti ($17.20++) is a must-try, featuring sauteed sausages, tomatoes, baby spinach, shimeji mushrooms, eggplants, and bacon all tossed in French butter, shoyu, and house-made broth. There’s also the crowd-favourite Souffle De Nuage ($17.90++), a cheesy baked rice dish with pork bacon and shimeji mushroom, topped with fluffy eggs and lots of cheese.Â

2. Sen Sen Sushi
When Sen Sen Sushi by Don Don Donki opened at JEM in 2023, there were snaking queues for weeks and months. Fun fact: this 134-seater restaurant is said to be the first to serve sushi on a high-speed conveyor belt. For a value-for-money meal, we recommend the Okinawa Set ($19.80++), comprising Seared Fresh Salmon, Seared Scallop, and Half-seared Conger Eel. Our favourite, though, was the Baked Sweet Potato with Vanilla Ice Cream ($5.80++), a winning combination of Don Don Donki’s sweet potato topped with sweet potato mousse and crispy caramelised sugar, and finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

3. Shake Shack

For something richer, we recommend the Hot Chicken ($11.50), where you get a crispy chicken breast or thigh instead of a beef patty, evenly dusted with a hot pepper blend and topped with slaw and pickles. There are also six different milkshake flavours to pair with your burgers, priced at $7.90 each. Some popular options include Vanilla, Strawberry, and Salted Caramel.Â

There are seafood alternatives for the rice bowls, with the likes of Kaisen Bara Chirashi Don ($18.90++) and Aburi Mentaiko Salmon Ikura Don ($24.90++).
