A Gourmet Exploration Of Jurong

Jurong is an astounding destination for every tourist with a passion for the hustle and bustle of a busy big city. Eatagram invites you on a culinary tour to one of Singapore's major areas.

Jurong, the industrial and economic hub overlooking the picturesque Strait Of Singapore, beckons visitors with its rich and diverse gastro culture, gorgeous tropical nature, and exceptional seaside dining opportunities.

Not sure what to start with in Jurong? Its culinary scene is rich in hawker centers, or food courts. They give foodies an idea of the local cuisine, which is a fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Peranakan influences. In hawker centers, you can sample such Singaporean dishes as Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, char kway teow, and grilled satay. The recipes of most traditional specialties, dating back to the Xlll century, have been passed down through generations throughout the country’s history.

If you’re fond of street food, take a chance to try curry puffs and delicious oyster omelets. The most adventurous ones can go with Singaporean-Chinese salted egg yolk crab and chili crab. Absolutely worth trying!

What’s for dinner? We recommend that you try pork rib soup called bak kut teh. For the main course, be sure to sample braised duck rice.

Local desserts are somewhat unusual, but definitely noteworthy. We adore salted egg yolk croissants and ondeh ondeh cakes. They go perfectly with teh tarik tea or sugar cane juice.

Whatever you choose, Jurong won’t disappoint you!
