As Singaporeans, few things excite us more than a day trip to JB, feasting our hearts out on cheap, authentic flavours. However, if causeway jams and long queues aren’t on your agenda, there’s a way to satisfy those cravings right here in Singapore.
Malaysia Boleh! Jurong Point has officially reopened after months of renovation, now sporting a refreshed look alongside all your favourite Malaysian street food under one roof. The revamped food court houses 32 stalls from across Malaysia, featuring flavours from Penang, Petaling Jaya, and beyond. If you’re unsure where to begin, we tried over 30 dishes and narrowed down some of our favourites.
Damansara Chilli Pan Mee
For something hearty and comforting, Damansara Chilli Pan Mee serves up a wide range of noodles packed with bold flavours. We tried both the classic Chilli Ban Mian (S$5.50 for small) and Handmade Shrimp meat with Tom Yam Pan Mian Soup (S$7.30). We especially love the latter, which features chewy noodles in a rich, spicy broth that is both tangy and aromatic with every sip.
Their noodles are specially made from a combination of flours, giving them that springy bite while preventing them from turning mushy even after sitting in the broth for a while. The noodle is also topped with crispy ikan bilis, adding a layer of crunch and savoury depth to the dish, while the bouncy prawn paste brings out a burst of sweetness and texture that pairs perfectly with the aromatic tom yam flavour. Every spoonful is basically packed with contrasting textures and a well-balanced flavour profile, making this bowl an incredibly satisfying meal, especially on a rainy day.
Huang Chao Teochew Noodle House
Known for their authentic Teochew-style noodle dishes, Huang Chao Teochew Noodle also serves up a comforting bowl of Laksa (S$5) that we really enjoyed.
The broth was heavier on the coconut taste, giving it a fragrant creaminess with just the right amount of richness. It also helps mellow out the heat from the chilli, making the broth smooth and easy to drink.
Since Huang Chao Teochew Noodle House specialises in a range of fresh fish and signature seafood soup, the laksa broth carries a distinct seafood sweetness and briny depth that makes it stand out from the usual versions. The flavour feels richer and more layered, especially with the aromatic herbs and punchy chilli blend running through the soup.
It is also generously topped with ingredients like crispy fried taukee skin and tau pok, both of which soak up the flavourful broth — a burst of richness and texture through the bowl.
Ipoh Lau Wang Chicken Rice
One look at this stall’s glistening display of chicken was enough to convince us it would be good — and true to its appearance, the steamed chicken rice (S$5.60) is definitely one of the better ones we tried.
The steamed chicken is served with skin and bone in, which helps lock in moisture and keep the meat extra tender and juicy. It’s also generously coated with the delightfully fragrant sesame sauce, which elevated its flavour. Considering the reasonable price point, the portions also felt surprisingly generous. If you’re looking for a classic, well-made chicken rice, you should definitely give this a go.
Seremban Kee Mei Siew Pau
Seremban Kee Mei Siew Pow is well-loved among Malaysians for its traditional handmade pastries packed with flavourful fillings. Its signature offerings include classic Pork (S$2.20) and Chicken Char Siew Paus (S$2.20), wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust that makes them dangerously addictive.
For its Singapore outlets, the brand also introduced a Singapore-exclusive Black Pepper Pork Siew Pau (S$2.40) — which, naturally, we had to try. Fair warning, though: if you can’t handle spice well, this may not be for you. The pastry was generously packed with a fiery black- pepper pork filling that had us reaching for our drinks after every bite. If you’re a fan of bold flavours and spices, then this will likely have you hooked.
Huats Kee
If you’re craving something indulgent, greasy, and savoury, this KL Hokkien Mee (S$6.50) is one to make a beeline for. Unlike the lighter, soup-based Hokkien Mee commonly found in Singapore, this version features thick noodles braised in dark soy sauce, giving the dish its signature smoky wok hei flavour.
The thick yellow noodles were especially satisfying, with a springy, chewy texture that soaked up the sauce beautifully. Flavour-wise, the noodles carried a rich smoky char without being overwhelmingly salty. Despite its dark, glossy appearance, it wasn’t excessively greasy, which made it a pleasant, comfortable eat that didn’t leave us feeling sluggish or heavy.
KL Salted Chicken Rice • Congee
Unexpectedly, this unassuming chicken rice and congee store served up one of our absolute favourite dishes. While its congee was good, the must-try here is its Salted Chicken Rice/Noodle (S$7.50).
The chicken drumstick was served drenched in a herbal broth, garnished with red dates. As we cut into it, the tender flesh fell apart, revealing a steamy, moist interior that thoroughly soaked up the flavourful sauce. The deeply aromatic chicken completely blew us away, with herbal notes that added just the right amount of depth and complexity to the dish. Paired with a side of rice or noodles to balance out the sauce, this was a dish we knew we would come back for.
Kuantan Nasi Lemak
From afar, you will be drawn in by Kunatan Nasi Lemak’s iconic banana leaf-lined display and trays with freshly fried goodness. We tried the Chicken Wing Nasi Lemak (S$5), and the star of the show is definitely the chicken wing. Fried to a deep golden-brown exterior, the batter shatters perfectly upon the first bite, giving way to a satisfying crunch. You will be immediately hit with aromatic spices and a juicy interior that makes the chicken dangerously addictive.
The savoury saltiness of the chicken balances perfectly against the sambal, which we found to lean on the sweeter note, toning down the spicy heat.
Do not be deceived by the simple-looking plate — every element comes together in perfect harmony to create a comforting and deeply satisfying meal. The slightly fluffy coconut rice carries a fragrant pandan aroma, pairing nicely with the crispy ikan bilis and roasted peanuts.
Drinks
From their extensive selection of drinks, we tried the Fresh Balonglong with Sour Plum Juice (S$4.50), which turned out to be incredibly refreshing. The drink carries a bold flavour profile that blends the natural tartness and fruity sweetness of the balonglong, creating a punchy taste that instantly cools you down.
With added sour plums, it adds that extra layer of tanginess and a subtle salty finish, balancing out the sharpness of the balonglong while giving the drink an interesting depth. It is a perfect thirst-quenching drink to cut through the heaviness of the street food dishes.
