IMM is Singapore's outlet mall, and the reason people travel across the island to a warehouse shaped building in Jurong East. The outlet stores are the draw, the food is what keeps you there for the afternoon, and both are worth planning around.
It is bigger than it looks and the layout is long rather than tall, so the unit number matters more here than in a stacked mall. Level 1 holds most of the eating. The sheltered J-Walk bridge from Westgate is the sane way in when it rains.

The list, floor by floor
1. BALIthai
Thai and Indonesian, halal certified, and a proper sit down meal rather than a counter. Reliable for a family lunch.
2. BANTIANYAO GRILLED FISH 半天妖烤鱼
Chinese grilled fish served in a tray over a burner, from a large mainland chain. Order for three or more.
3. Old Chang Kee
Curry puffs, halal certified, on the way to the exit. You know what you are getting.
4. Fragrance
Bak kwa, made locally with no preservatives per their own listing. Buy it for somebody else and eat half on the train.
5. Fu Lin Fried Yong Tofu
Yong tau foo, fried, from a name people in the west know. Pick your pieces, get the laksa gravy.
6. Saap Saap Thai
Halal Thai at kiosk prices. Boat noodles and basil chicken rice, fast.
7. Encik Tan
Halal certified hawker style food court, which is the easiest way to feed a mixed group here without anyone compromising.
8. Din Tai Fung
The Jurong East outlet, and noticeably less of a fight than the town ones. Same xiao long bao, shorter wait.
9. Seoul Garden HOTPOT
Korean steamboat buffet, halal certified. Two hours, unlimited, and you will not need dinner.
10. Andes by Astons
Steak and Western at Astons prices, halal certified. The value end of a proper plate of food.
11. Sushi Zanmai
Japanese, broad menu, sensible prices, and it seats a group without a booking. Not exciting, very useful.
12. White Restaurant
The original white bee hoon, which is a genuinely Singaporean dish invented in Sembawang and now everywhere. This is the branded version and it is done properly.
13. Pontian Mee
Wanton mee from the Johor recipe, deep fried wanton and sweet char siew sauce. Cheap and specific.
14. Hainan Second Street
Hainanese classics done as a casual restaurant. Chicken rice, pork chop, the old school combination.
15. Haidilao Hot Pot 海底捞火锅
Hotpot with the full service treatment, over two units on Level 3. Weekend evenings need a booking or a lot of patience.
16. Makan Street 福满街
The food street concept on Level 3, which collects hawker style stalls in one air conditioned run. The practical group answer.
Quick answers
How do I get to IMM from Jurong East MRT?
Jurong East station is on the North South Line (NS1) and East West Line (EW24). From Westgate Level 2, near Canton Paradise, the sheltered J-Walk link bridge runs to IMM via Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, which is the covered route. Buses 52, 105, 188, 333, 502 and 990 also serve the mall.
What time does IMM open and close?
The mall runs 10am to 10pm daily. Individual outlet stores and restaurants set their own hours inside that.
Is IMM actually an outlet mall?
Partly. IMM runs Singapore's largest cluster of permanent outlet stores alongside a normal mall and a hypermarket, so you get discounted branded stock and a food court in the same building. It is not a dedicated outlet village like the ones overseas.
Is there halal food at IMM?
Yes. Encik Tan is a halal food court, and BALIthai, Saap Saap Thai, Seoul Garden HOTPOT, Andes by Astons, Swensen's, Subway, Popeyes, Burger King, Hei Sushi, Krispy Kreme, Red Ginger, SF Fruits, Swee Heng, Yakiniku Shokudo, Old Chang Kee and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf are flagged halal certified in the mall's own directory.
Is there a free shuttle to IMM?
IMM runs a weekday shuttle to and from International Business Park, 11.30am to 2pm Monday to Friday except public holidays, at ten minute intervals. For the MRT, the covered J-Walk bridge from Westgate is the walking route.
Can I do IMM and Westgate in one trip?
Yes, and most people do. They are linked by the sheltered J-Walk bridge from Westgate Level 2, and JEM is on the other side of Jurong East station, so all three are walkable in one afternoon.
