Eat at these Punggol food spots
Born and bred in Bedok, I was surrounded by a bunch of great eats for close to 25 years. Seriously, my house was directly opposite Fengshan Bedok 85 Market, while my school was just two bus stops away from Simpang Bedok and all these Tanah Merah food places. So when I moved to Punggol, I was ready to eat home-cooked food daily. That was until I found out about these 22 Punggol food places that made me think my new hood isn’t so bad after all.
Update: Georges By The Bay is closed till further notice.

White Restaurant has come a long way since starting out as The Original Sembawang White Bee Hoon in Sembawang. The former zi char eatery has since rebranded themselves as a slightly more upscale restaurant, but still serves up delicious plates of their famous white bee hoon. If you’re feeling a bit more indulgent, be sure to try their Crab White Bee Hoon (seasonal price) that comes with fresh Sri Lanka mud crab.

The fried chicken scene in Singapore hasn’t been the same since the Philippines’ largest fried chicken chain, Jollibee, entered in 2003. Since then, they have expanded across the island and Punggol is the only outlet that’s on the North-East line. Their juicy and amazingly crispy fried chicken are a hit among all ages, and popular sets for single diners include the 2-pc Chickenjoy w/Rice set ($6.95) and 1-pc Chickenjoy w/Jolly Spaghetti set ($6.95).

17. Genki Sushi
Genki Sushi is by far, the most popular eatery at Waterway Point. Its affordable sushi tends to draw a long line at any time of the day, and they’re especially popular among the younger crowd. My go-to dish here is the Dai Man Zoku range of sushi. They’re approximately 1.5 times bigger than the regular ones, making it a fun experience to pop everything in one bite. Each piece is priced at $1.90++, and some of my favourites in this range include the Jumbo Ebi Fry and Maguro Tataki.
Islandwide delivery is available with charges from $5, with a minimum spend of $35 when you order off their website. Alternatively, opt for self-pick-up, or by ordering from Foodpanda or Grabfood.
