Best Suntec City food places

Suntec City, Singapore’s first megamall, was a weekend haunt for many back in the day, with throngs lining up for the emblematic Fountain of Wealth. With other newer megamalls in the scene now, Suntec City is no longer as crowded as it once was, but one thing still remains: its wealth of dining options. To help you make up your mind if you’re dining there, here’s our round-up of 25 Suntec City food places to have your next meal at.

1. Paik’s Noodle

---

Helmed by a famous Korean chef by the name of Paik Jong Won, Paik’s Noodle is finally in Singapore with their first outlet located in Suntec City. It’s a must to get their Jjamppong ($14++), a rich seafood broth that combines a variety of vegetables, pork slices, baby octopus, and handmade noodles. To go with your main, we recommend sharing their Gochu Yuringi ($23++). This deep-fried chicken is topped with sliced chilli and minced garlic, and will surely cater to those who love hearty flavours.
