Calling all gals staying at Sembawang!! Any good eateries to recommend? I recently found Bongo Bongo at entrance of the Night Safari serves very good spagetti!! And the ambience is good as well..Its like BK but with good decor...There is also another eatery near sembawang park in the midst of the terrace houses...cant remember the name....

Anyone any other recommendations?

The Thai Food at Sembawang Shopping Centre is good too. There are some eateries near the Pierce Reservior, like Roti Prata, Japanese food .. it is all not too bad. There's nice Curry Fishhead at a coffeeshop opposite Sembawang Shopping Centre. Of cos not forgetting the Satay Club in Sembawang.

I dun stay in Sembawang but I do know abt the thai food at Sembawang Shopping Centre. Love one of their specialities..the spicy fried fish dish.

There's also a seafood restaurant opp Sembawang SC tts pretty good and reasonably priced. Think its called the Yishun Seafood restaurant? ITs a bldg on its own.

There's Chong Pang Nasi Lemak (shophouse) just next to the Air Defence System Division, which is also right after Sembawang cottage. Opens from 5pm till late... the queue will start to form when it gets later. Was voted the best Nasi Lemak in the first series of "Yummy King"...

Check it out....

I do not have the exact address but when you go along the stretch of road to the park, you will see private houses on the right...

I think it is at the last turn in road to the private houses (between new semi-detached houses and the old terrace houses)

Anyway, look out for the small wooden sign at the turn in.

Hope I don't confuse you...

Hi Jady,

Cher is correct, but i cant remember the road name leh....it should be the last row of terrace houses near the park. Its opp a row of uncompleted houses...

Ah, i was jogging to the park last week and i think they took down the sign alreadie...there used to be a sign though..thats how i found the place...

if u drive along the main road, cant really see it unless u look further in...

Good luck!

Thanks Cher! Will find Tamako and try their sets this weekend...yum...

Btw, me staying at 355A..

If you are going there during the weekends, do make a reservation as it's super crowded.

Hi MG Fan,

Tamako is along the same row of shophouses as the famous roti prata stall. There is a church next to it.

Opposite is,.... I think SIM now, used to be the old Ahmad Ibrahim Sec School many many years ago.

A few more places is "Han's Restaurant". This is their first stall. Also, there is the famous Ampang Niang Tou Fu along Upper Thomson Road. Can't remember where. Anyone can direct?

I have been living in Yishun for close to 20 years (oh no, feeling very old now.....) and I only know of these few places as mentioned earlier that is good. Unfortunately, this place is not like Katong where there are lots of good food.

Hye MG Fan,
Dun say tat. Actually, U think our area the food quite good leh. I'm staying at Yishun, and so far, i think we have the most, good yet not expensive food.
Some places like gain some publicity liao, then no keep up standard or increase $.

BTW, the Thai food at Sembawang SC want to shift where huh??? Cos I quite like their food too. Its rather cheap. ....yummy yummy..

Starz is right, it had shifted upstairs.. The one at Yishun is formerly the "Bei Sheng Lou"

This is a new branch of the Thai food it's been there since last year if i'm not wrong. Both places serve the same food, but the one at Yishun charge slightly higher price as it is a restaurant.

The one at Sembawang still gives discounts to the customers though the place has been renovated and they now has a unit on it's own.

For Nasi Briyani (hope I spelt it correctly) lovers, check out the nasi briyani stall at the Northpoint Foodcourt. You won't miss it coz there's guaranteed to be a long queue there during dinner times! It's very generous with its portions and the rice is simply heavenly. (They really use spices liberally) The stall has been around since Northpoint started and my family hasn't found a better briyani stall since...

Hi,

There's a foodcourt opp Sembawang Shopping Centre which serve yummy bbq chicken wings & sambal stingray... the whole place used to own by Yishun seafood restaurant, but now they only take up abt 1/4 of the area & the rest of the space is converted into a 24-hr foodcourt..

Some more reccomendations, this time in the Woodlands area at the old Woodlands Central (the big hawker centre near the Causeway)

1)Fishball noodles. You gotta be real early to try this stall, even on weekends, he is sold out by 10am (he's located either opposite a laksa stall or in the row behind the laksa stall)!!! His chilli looks very different from other fishball noodle stalls.

2) Roti prata stall along the last row. Their masala thosai is also good!

3) Nasi lemak (operated by a Chinese). Cheap and good.They offer the option of white rice, nasi lemak rice (I think it's green in color) & nasi briyani rice.

yup the thai stall at sembawang shopping centre is good. apparently the one next to chong pang's kfc is the same branch. i love their pineapple rice!!!!

bin bin, thanks for sharing. i didnt know opp sem shopping centre is a 24 hr food court. tot the entire place belongs to yishun seafood rest. can go try next time.

cookie's gals, agree with you on the nasi briyani. shiok! and yes, the queue is always there....

there's a zhi char stall at blk 313 sembawang cres or drive (near the mrt) that's good. the bak ku teh and pig trotters is yummy too.

Hi there....

Try this stall at YOU HUAK coffeeshop selling home-cooked dishes opp Semb SC. Their famous dishes includes seafood beehoon, prawn roll,sambal fishhead and delicious indo-style chicken wings.

All their greens n veg are fresh and properly "washed".

It's pretty packed during dinner time.So sometimes have to wait for quite a while.

I checked w them n realised there are oni two"chef" in their kitchen,a couple in their sixties.Making sure every dish is properly done, they never rush thru the cooking.So, customers have to be a little patient.

I frequent their stall at least twice a week n amazingly, i always see the same regulars there.

One sad thing is, they are closed o sundays.
