Bukit Timah Restaurants

Where to Eat in Bukit Timah

In Malay, Bukit Timah means ‘tin-bearing hill’. Bukit Timah Road is the longest road in Singapore, stretching from Little India in the South to Upper Bukit Timah Road in the North stopping short of the Malaysian border. A tree-lined thoroughfare and one of the oldest roads in Singapore, Bukit Timah Road is now a prime residential area flanked on both sides by luxury bungalows, high-rise condominiums, hotels, schools and some great dining areas. A handsome district, the area is known for its greenery spanning the Botanic Gardens at one end which boasts its own collection of fine eateries and the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve at the upper end. Nearer to the CBD is the popular Newton Food Centre, surrounded by Bukit Timah Road and Clemenceau Avenue.

Newton Food Centre

A prominent landmark on the local food scene with close proximity to the Orchard Road hotels, Newton Food Centre re-opened in 2006 after a major refurbishment. It was designed to blend in with neighbouring colonial houses and presents a breezy, lush floral landscape. With over 80 stalls selling hawker favourites like spring roll, all types of fried and boiled noodles, Indian curries, oyster omelettes, barbequed seafood and more, patrons will have a field day trying to sample all the fare. With alfresco and sheltered seating, it’s certainly a pleasant experience for newcomers to the island. Beware of aggressive touting by stall owners though.
