Tanjong Pagar Centre opened just late last year, and it houses a mall, garden, offices, residences and a hotel. Having so many things within the centre itself, the most important question then starts to surface: is there good food there too? The answer is yes. Here’s a guide to 10 places to check out when you’re there.
Guzman Y Gomez is a Mexican taqueria serving a variety of burritos ($8/$11.50), tacos ($5 for one, $9.50 for two, $11.50 for three), and quesadillas ($4.50 for one, $8.50 for two, $11 for three) among other things. Some of their highly raved options include Spicy Grilled Chicken Burrito and Slow Roasted Pork (Spicy) Burrito. Guacamole, salsa and cheese accompany most of their meals, and extras can be added as well!
