New Waterway Point food spots in 2025
We already know Punggol is a hub for good food, but Waterway Point takes the cake when it comes to the sheer variety of F&B offerings under one roof. Conveniently located right next to Punggol MRT Station, the expansive mall has just welcomed a fresh wave of eateries to its already impressive lineup.Â
If you’re thinking of swinging by for your next meal, here are four brand-new Waterway Point food spots worth checking out, from solo hotpot to authentic Korean street food and more.
1. Red Ginger Coffeehouse
The latest to join the selection of halal eateries at Waterway Point is Red Ginger Coffeehouse, which specialises in local delights, as well as Nyonya and regional Indonesian dishes. Founded by the folks who have been running popular nasi padang chain, Red Ginger, since 2000, the brand’s new Punggol outpost promises a more refined dine-in experience.Â
The spacious, brightly lit restaurant caters to everything from a laid-back lunch for two to a hearty family dinner.Â
When it comes to the food, be spoiled for choice with a selection of homely crowd favourites. The Local Dry Mee Siam With Signature Fried Boneless Chicken ($9.90++), for instance, sees vermicelli noodles and a lemak gravy crowned with a generously sized piece of fried chicken and bits of golden-brown batter for crunch. There’s also the Satay Mee Rebus ($7.90++), where a subtly spicy, savoury-sweet gravy coats QQ yellow noodles, topped with smoky satay pieces generously drenched in rich peanut sauce.Â
For diners who prefer rice, the Red Ginger Singapore Local Nasi Padang with Beef Rendang ($12.90++) is a must. Nasi padang is what the Red Ginger brand is most known for, and this dish is a testament to that. The rendang is the hero here—slow-cooked in an aromatic gravy till fork-tender. Other accompaniments, such as crispy ikan billis with peanuts, a sunny-side-up egg, and sayur lodeh, seal the deal.Â
Be sure to save some space for the Kueh Lopes ($2.50++), the beloved sticky rice and gula melaka dessert.
Unit number: East Wing, #B1-17
Opening hours: Daily 10:30am to 9pm

2. So Do Fun
If you love mala tang and Chongqing grilled fish, Sichuan boiled fish—AKA shui zhu yu—should be right up your alley. The iconic Southwestern Chinese dish is all about the marriage between soft, sweet fresh fish slices and a numbing broth made with chilli oil, Sichuan peppercorns, as well as other native aromatics.Â
Try this delicacy for yourself at So Do Fun, an award-winning restaurant chain with 18 years of history and over 100 outlets across Asia. The brand has finally made its way to Singapore, with its latest outpost at Waterway Point.Â
What sets So Do Fun apart from other Sichuan restaurants is their commitment to using live fish, ensuring each order of their Boiled Live Fish (from $29.80++) boasts the freshest catch. Choose from three different types of broth here: Spicy, Sauerkraut, and Fiery. We went for the Spicy, reminiscent of your classic mala hotpot broth. The fish was sweet and springy, and the accompanying melange of tofu skin, tripe, bean sprouts, and kelp added texture to each bite.Â
The menu is also home to other Sichuanese a la carte dishes to spice up your meal, including the crowd favourite Chengdu Mapo Tofu ($11.80++), Stir-Fried Pork with Chilli Peppers ($17.80++), and Grilled Prawn with Vermicelli and Minced Garlic ($18.80++). We were huge fans of the latter two dishes—the pork had a decadent meat-to-fat ratio, dry-fried in a medley of green chilli, while the smoky vermicelli was topped with eight large pieces of fresh, plump prawns.
Unit number: West Wing, #01-23
Opening hours: Daily 11am to 9:30pm

3. Wanglu Hot Pot

Sometimes, the hotpot cravings hit, but you don’t have a group to share it with. Thankfully, solo hotpot restaurants like Wanglu Hotpot exist, so you can dig into your favourite broth and ingredients without having to call on a large group.Â

Soup bases start at an affordable $5.99++, with 20 different broths to choose from, including vegetarian-friendly and less spicy options. From there, pore over their selection of Value Set Meals, where you get your choice of broth, meat, vegetables, carbs, and sauce, from as low as $14.99++. Proteins range from Wagyu beef and pork belly to fresh seafood combos, even tofu and mock meats for plant-based diners. A la carte ingredients are also available.

Daily Chicken, the family-friendly sibling concept of popular Korean fried chicken and craft beer joint Daily Beer, is also scheduled to open at Waterway Point on 6 November. For the uninitiated, Daily Beer hails from Seoul and has over 370 outlets worldwide.

At Daily Chicken, diners can expect the best of Korean street food, including the brand’s signature Daily Chicken Gangjeong ($18++) in two bold flavours: Soy Sauce Black or Spicy Red. The Gangjeong stars a medley of fried snacks, coated in the sauce of your choice.
We’re also big fans of their Daily Chicken Original fried chicken, where fresh, not frozen, chicken is marinated with a blend of spices and fried till golden and irresistibly crisp. Apart from the three main sizes—6 Wings ($11++), Half Chicken ($20++), and Whole Chicken ($34++)—diners can also opt for smaller 3-piece ($10.50++) or 5-piece ($15.50++) portions, perfect for solo meals or takeaway.
