Northshore Plaza food guide
Punggol is an up-and-coming hotbed for good eats, evinced by our Punggol food guide, and rundown of where to eat at Waterway Point. Joining the mix is a brand new waterfront mall known as Northshore Plaza, officially opening on 29 October. Split into two plazas, Plaza I and Plaza II, Punggol residents can look forward to an all-new shopping destination, as well as a place to feast. With that, here’s our Northshore Plaza food guide.
Please note that some eateries mentioned might not be open on 29 October due to licensing issues. All Plaza II eateries will only open in Q1 of 2022.
1. A&W
When A&W first arrived in Singapore in 2019, the queues were astounding for their Jewel flagship, with locals keen to get their hands on the nostalgic bites. They’ve since expanded to four locations across multiple corners in Singapore, with this opening at Northshore Plaza counting as the fifth.
Head down to feast on their signature Root Beer Float ($3.50)—a fizzy, creamy treat to beat the heat—their famed Golden Aroma Chicken ($3.20 per piece), and finish off with their Curly Fries ($3.60) as a side. Don’t forget to end off with an ice cream and waffle treat too, priced at $5.90.

This includes their popular Mashed Shrimpwah (from $11), where ground shrimp turns into QQ fish cake-like bites when cooked, their specially marinated Mutton (from $11), and many more.

One of Singapore’s OG homegrown ice creameries is opening their fourth outlet in Punggol, expanding the Northshore Plaza food options to include yummy desserts. Expect a wide range of their signature ice creams available to enjoy in a cup or cone, or atop a piping hot, golden-brown waffle.
We recommend their Roasted Pistachio ($4.80), for really pronounced notes of pistachio, or their locally inspired Sea Salt Gula Melaka ($3.80) for moreish twist of sweet and salty. Coffee, tea, and other beverages will also be available to complete your break. You can also bring home a pint or two; their IG-worthy Blue Pea Vanilla ($16.90 per pint) is one popular pick.
