🍲🍱🍜 Food Adventures at Sengkang Grand Mall! 🍛🍗🥗

Hello foodies! Are you eagerly awaiting the opening of the Buangkok Hawker Centre upstairs? Until then, let's explore the delectable delights available at the first floor of Sengkang Grand Mall. Here's a rundown of some of the best and not-so-great options to help you decide where to satisfy your taste buds.

Healthiest Option - 🥣 Soup Spoon and Kebabs Faktory 🌯

If you're looking for a wholesome and nutritious meal, Soup Spoon is your go-to place. Think of it as a Western-style cai fan (mixed rice), but with a healthier twist. You can load up on veggies, avocado, meat, and even add healthy carbs like quinoa. Similarly, Kebabs Faktory offers wraps, rice bowls, and burritos that won't break the calorie bank, making it another great option for health-conscious diners.

Most Budget-Friendly Food - 🍗 NTUC Finest Supermarket 🍜

For those on a tight budget, NTUC Supermarket comes to the rescue with its affordable roast meat (roast duck, pork knuckle) options and a whole roast chicken priced at $6.35. I've tried the chicken and it's really not bad! While not gourmet, the food is decent enough to fill your tummy without emptying your wallet. Alternatively, you can always grab some instant Korean fire noodles from the supermarket and whip them up at home for a quick and budget-friendly meal.

Most Satisfying Meal - 🍲 City Hotpot 🍲

Calling all hotpot lovers! City Hotpot is the place to be for a heartwarming and satisfying meal. The flavorful soups and an array of sauces make it a delightful experience. The best part? Each person gets their own pot, allowing you to customize the broth and meat options according to your preferences. It's perfect for a communal dining experience with friends and family.

Most Value for Money - 🍚 Sukiya 🥗

Craving for a balanced and pocket-friendly meal? Sukiya offers reasonably priced rice bowls, and you have the option to add on vegetables to make it a wholesome delight. Additionally, Sukiya caters to the halal crowd, making it a convenient choice for everyone.

Most Flavorful and Enjoyable Meal - 🌶️ Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 🌶️

If you're a fan of fiery and spicy flavors, Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine is a must-visit. Their mala dishes are packed with aromatic spices that will tantalize your taste buds. However, as delicious as it is, the dishes can be quite oily, so it's best to savor it on special occasions rather than making it a regular indulgence. I've done a full review here.

Not So Value for Money - 🍜 Tokyo Shokudo 🍜

Unfortunately, Tokyo Shokudo didn't quite live up to expectations, leaving us feeling underwhelmed. The ramen noodles didn't match the standards of authentic Japanese restaurants and resembled more like instant noodles. If you're craving good ramen, you might be better off exploring other options in the mall or trying your hand at making it at home.

There you have it, foodies! Your guide to the best and not-so-great food options at Sengkang Grand Mall. Whether you're seeking healthy choices, budget-friendly meals, or flavorful feasts, there's something for everyone. I can't wait to check out the upcoming Buangkok Hawker Centre for even more culinary adventures opening in the next couple of months. I'll be sure to review them here. Happy dining! 🍽️🎉
