Working in Jurong area. What to eat?

[The_Bear]

This thread is for people working in Jurong Industrial area including Gul, Pioneer and even Tuas.

 

Lunch is a constant headache of finding interesting food in the myriad of underwhelming canteens that dots the industrial estate.

 

Most canteens are packed and parking a nightmare during lunch time.

 

Jurong Point is the only shopping center within the area and it is too packed during lunch. Not to say rather expensive.

 

JEM and Jcube are too far because lunch is an 1-hr affair for most of us.

 

So bring in the recommendations for food in this miserable part of the country where finding a good lunch is one of the highlights of another boring work day.

Because Jurong Point offers free parking during 12-2pm! Maybe can try for early lunch there?

 

Or you can try Taman Jurong hawker centre, Jurong West hawker centres. Not too far off from Jurong Point.

Arena Country Club's Kopitiam - Bak Chor Mee or the Prawn Noodle (which is quite highly priced). Give the Yong Tau Foo a miss cos the old stallowner is no longer there and the ingredients are placed outside from the morning (like MORNING).

 

Gul Link Canteen (Chan Chye Canteen on Google Maps) - Chicken Rice, Ban Mian, Nasi Padang, Vegetarian and the Soup stall (though if you don't mind the way they prepare their food, it is more than edible when hunger strikes)

 

Gul Drive Canteen (Along Gul Drive) - Chicken Rice and Curry Chicken Noodle, Ah De's Noodle Shop (Lor Mee, Laksa, Fishball Noodle, Prawn Noodles), the 2 Cooked food stalls have their own supporters so worth a try, the Ban Mian stall.

 

These are the places I usually venture around.

Tuas Amenity Center... there are 2 coffeeshop

Taman Jurong Hawker Center and the shopping center opposite, the car park is packed during free lunch time parking... the queue sometimes all the way to the main road especially on Friday.

 

But this area got 3 makan place.

 

1) TamanJurong Hawker center

2) 2 coffeeshop at the shopping center

3) S11

SAFRA food court still around? When first open was very good. Then shrunk to half size and the food got horrible. Went once and banned the place.

 

Boon Lay place hawker is about the best there is but also around the limit of AO for lunch.

 

Penang prawn noodles is good but long queue and sells out quite fast. Corner curry chap chai png is good but long queue also. (near the medium sized carpark). My favourite is one teochew muay stall also at one corner, red signboard and auntie hardly switch on the lights one. Their lor bak and lor tao kua is nice.

Tuas South is where good food goes and die.

[Yslim79]

 

 

Jurong hill ? Raffles country club ? Kopi tiam opp pioneer mrt?

[Gitanic]

bro dip thy paw into Tuas Basin up 1 dolphin and make dolphin sushi.

High time the Govt relax rulings on mobile food vans /trucks. Building more canteens in industrial estates take up space and basically there is no much business after the lunch hours.
