Pasir Ris food guide
I used to live in Pasir Ris when I was younger, and I always think back to this neighbourhood fondly. Although I practically live at the other end of the country now, rediscovering Pasir Ris food scene always makes me want to move back there. Without further ado, here’s a list of the best Pasir Ris food places I’ve gathered that will make your stomach growl.
1. The Hainan Story Coffee House
The Hainan Story Coffee House is where you can get good food at good prices. There are breakfast and lunch deals from Monday to Thursday; the former is available from 8am to 11am, and the latter from 11am to 3pm.
If you’re heading into their Pasir Ris Mall outlet for brekkie, the $5 Weekday Breakfast deal gets you a dish and a drink. You can choose from Chee Cheong Fun, Chwee Kueh, or Hainanese Toast Set! Those working in the area can enjoy the $9.90 Curry-Licious Lunch Set instead. A plate of curry rice comes with Chicken Drumstick, Nan Ru Fried Pork, or Braised Pork Belly. The set is complete with a butter cake slice and a drink, too.

There are a few Jian Bo Shui Kueh outlets in Pasir Ris alone, but the branch that opens the earliest is at Pasir Ris Drive, where you can get their fresh rice cakes from 5:30am every day. The Signature Jian Bo Shui Kueh ($3.80 for five) comes generously topped with sweet-savoury cai poh that adds a nice bite. Otherwise, their Yam Cake ($3) and Chee Cheong Fun ($3) make for great brekkie choices if you pass by the area before getting to work or school.

4. Wild Olives
For affordable Western food, swing by the highly-rated Wild Olives. The hawker stall at Pasir Ris Central has been serving up hearty portions of Western mains, all under $14! We loved their Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Sauce ($7.20), which comes with your choice of two sides. We recommend their Signature Mushroom Rice and Grilled Herbs Potatoes if you can’t decide what you want. For those who don’t mind spending a bit more, the NZ Sirloin Steak ($13.90) is worth the order! FYI, this is the most expensive item on the menu.

Another gem in Pasir Ris is Tim Hortons, which is housed at Pasir Ris Mall.

Takagi Ramen is renowned for their affordable ramen at nett prices, with the cheapest ramen dish priced at $7.90.

If soup isn’t your thing, get something from the dry ramen series; Mazemen ($7.90) is the most popular of the lot.

12. The Basil Inn

I consider it mandatory to hunt down the best Thai eatery in every neighbourhood I scour for good eats, which is why I’m so glad to have found The Basil Inn. Some people have even compared this place to Nakhon Kitchen, in terms of its taste and pocket-friendly prices. A plate of Phad Thai ($9) is served deliciously stir-fried and fresh off the wok. You must try their Tom Yum Goong (from $13), with its sour hints of lemongrass and tongue-numbing spices.
