Haw Par Villa MRT sits under the junction of Pasir Panjang Road and West Coast Highway, and while it isn't a hawker heartland, the surrounding blocks hold a surprisingly varied cluster of eateries. The biggest draw is ORTO West Coast (27 West Coast Highway), a waterside leisure hub with late-night mookata, a bistro and dessert bars, while Viva Vista on South Buona Vista Road and ICON@Pasir Panjang add cafes, an Italian bistro and healthy bowls. A short walk further along Pasir Panjang Road brings you to halal Vietnamese food and the recently reopened Pasir Panjang Food Centre for cheap hawker eats. Opening hours and halal status change often, so confirm with the venue before you go.

Is there a cafe or food stall inside Haw Par Villa?
