Chinese Restaurants in Jurong East: 15 Best for Zi Char & Dim Sum (2026)
Jurong East's Chinese food has two clusters. The malls by the MRT station (JEM, Westgate and IMM) have Cantonese dim sum chains, Hong Kong cafes, Peking duck and grilled fish. The Yuhua estate a short walk away has hawker and zi char stalls such as Michelin Bib Gourmand-listed Zai Shun Curry Fish Head. Mall dim sum and roast-meat meals usually cost from around $15 per person, while hawker bowls in Yuhua start from around $5.50. Several Yuhua stalls close by mid-afternoon, so go for breakfast or lunch.
