Jurong West Hawker Centre food guide: Pioneer’s new hawker haven
After a three-year closure, Jurong West Hawker Centre reopened last month (October 29) under a new operator, JW50 Hawker Heritage - and with a wider variety totalling 39 stalls.
A short walk off Pioneer MRT station, the two-storey complex is spacious and well-ventilated even after increasing its seating capacity by 20 percent, and boasts modern additions like brightly-lit colourful signboards and an automated tray return conveyor belt.
Westies will be pleased to chow down on local and regional delicacies from stalwarts and new names alike ranging from familiar Singaporean favourites like mee hoon kway, wanton mee, and prawn noodles, to Thai mookata, value-for-money Vietnamese food, and spicy Sichuan sides.
