If you’d like more variety, order the Signature Four Bento Set ($5.80), which gets you two pieces of chwee kueh, one slice of yam kueh, one strip of chee cheong fun, and one scoop of glutinous rice. To complete your feast, fill up with the Century Egg and Lean Meat Congee ($4.50), comprising smooth porridge studded with piquant century egg pieces and tender pork slices.

Jian Bing Lao is a new takeaway kiosk specialising in Northwestern Chinese food, including cold noodles and rou jia mo AKA Chinese burgers, a popular street snack all over China. We recommend The Signature Pork Crispy Entree ($6.50), where a crispy Chinese pancake sandwiches tender grilled pork chunks. If you’d like something more filling, consider the Crispy Chicken Cutlet Pancake ($7.50) instead. Here, a thin pancake is made to order, then stuffed with a myriad of fillings, including a crispy fried chicken cutlet, fresh veggies, and creamy mayo.

Else, those who want a refreshing option can opt for the Passion Fruit Gardenia White Tea ($3.90), the ideal mix of floral and fruity. We also enjoyed the Avocado Coconut Shake with Noodles ($5.90), a rich frappe comprising creamy avocado and coconut, paired with QQ coconut-infused noodles for an addictive bite.

While Duke Bakery is usually a takeaway-only kiosk, their revamped White Sands Mall outlet doubles up as a cafe with seats for dine-in customers—perfect as a pitstop if you’re running errands there.
Treat yourself to their cake set, which goes for an affordable $9.90 for any slice of cake and a hot beverage. We highly recommend their Red Velvet Raspberry Cake, featuring light and fluffy red velvet cake layers stacked with a tangy raspberry and cream cheese frosting that’s not too sweet.

For a family-friendly meal that doesn’t break the bank, head to Poulet, a modern French-inspired restaurant that’s also halal-certified. They’re most known for their signature French-style roast chicken, which you can get in the form of the Half Roast Chicken with Lemon Cream Sauce ($17.90++). Here, the bird is brined overnight in a secret recipe, then slow-cooked over a flame, resulting in uber-tender, juicy meat.
Poulet also serves a small range of pasta mains, including the delicious Creamy Beef Oxtail Pasta with Caramelised Onion ($18.90++), where al dente tagliatelle pasta strands are tossed in a luscious sauce, topped with melt-in-the-mouth beef. If you’re looking for a side to share, you won’t go wrong with the Spicy Chicken Sausage & Clam Little Toast ($8.90++), served as a trio of bite-sized canapes.
