The list, floor by floor
1. The Dim Sum Place
Halal Hong Kong style dim sum, made in-house, and The Dim Sum Place's own site lists this outlet at #B1-07. Its signature is the duck roll, by its own site. Its site gives 10.30am to 9.30pm Monday to Thursday and 10am to 10pm Friday to Sunday, last order half an hour before. The pick for a halal family dim sum lunch on Orchard Road.
2. Malaysia Boleh!
A food atrium of Malaysian hawker food, by the mall listing, with Penang prawn noodle soup, Petaling Street claypot rice and Klang bak kut teh among the names. Malaysia Boleh's own site lists it at #B1-13, 8am to 9pm daily. One of the cheapest sit-down meals in the mall. The claypot rice takes a while, so order it first.
3. So Do Fun
Sichuan food built around one dish, boiled live fish, by the mall listing, which says the brand began in 2007 and runs nearly 100 outlets across China, Singapore and Malaysia. Come with at least one other person and order the fish with rice. Expect real Sichuan heat. Open 11am to 10pm by the mall directory.
4. Bird Avenue
Western comfort food, halal certified by the mall directory: spring chicken, the mixed grill and house pastas, by the mall listing. The spring chicken is the order. Easy for a family with kids. Open 11.30am to 10pm by the mall directory.
5. Tiong Bahru Bakery
Croissants, kouign amann and coffee. Tiong Bahru Bakery's own site features its kouign amann, and that is the one to get. Open 8am to 10pm by the mall directory, so it covers breakfast before the mall opens. It takes up three runs of units on Level 1, which the directory lists together.
6. 49 Seats
Local-twist pastas, and the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta is the one both the mall listing and 49 Seats' own site name. The listing also points to the smoked duck pasta. 49 Seats' own site says it folded its earlier outlets into this one at The Centrepoint. Open 11.30am to 11.30pm by the mall directory, so it works after a late movie.
7. Fire Ramen
Ramen finished with a burst of flame, by the mall listing: the chef ignites oil and pours it over the broth and spring onions. Good theatre for a first visit. Note the afternoon break from 3.30pm to 4.30pm by the mall directory. We could not find a working website of its own, so the hours are the mall's.
8. Auntie Ashley
An Ipoh-style kopitiam, by the mall listing, inspired by Choy Kee Bakery in Ipoh. The signature it names is the Nasi Ayam Goreng Berempah, chicken marinated in more than ten Malay spices and fried. Order that. Open 10.30am to 9pm by the mall directory, so it is a lunch and early dinner stop.
9. Dapur Penyet
Indonesian ayam penyet, smashed fried chicken with sambal at different spice levels, by the mall listing, and halal certified by the mall directory. Go mild on the sambal the first time. It closes at 9pm by the mall directory, an hour before the mall.
10. Song Fa Bak Kut Teh
Peppery bak kut teh with fall-off-the-bone pork ribs and a 1960s roadside look, by the mall listing. Order the pork rib soup and rice. Song Fa's own site says its New Bridge Road branch earned a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand in 2026; this is a different outlet. It closes at 9pm most nights by the mall directory, earlier than the mall.
11. Song Gye Ok
A Korean chicken grill house from Seongsu, Seoul, by the mall listing, built around six specialty cuts and samgyetang. Song Gye Ok's own site lists this outlet at #02-53 and 54, says it is walk-in only with no reservations, and says the charcoal grill runs at weekend lunch and every dinner but not at weekday lunch. So for the grill, come for dinner. Its site gives 11am to 10pm in two sittings by its own site, lunch last order 4.30pm and dinner last order 9.30pm.
12. Din Tai Fung
Xiao long bao, the steamed chicken soup and the fried rice with shrimps and eggs, the three the mall listing names. Din Tai Fung's own site lists this outlet at #02-55 and takes online reservations here on weekdays, 11am to 7.30pm. Book on a weekday; at weekends, come early. Last order is 9pm from Sunday to Thursday, 9.15pm on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays, by the mall directory.
13. ASTONS Steak & Salad
Steaks with a free-flow salad bar, by the mall listing. ASTONS' own site says the bar runs to over 60 dishes, with soups, greens and desserts. Order the steak and treat the bar as your sides. Plan around the break: Monday to Thursday it closes from 3pm to 5pm by the mall directory. Not halal; the halal sister, ANDES by ASTONS, is at Eastpoint Mall, not here.
14. GoroGoro Steamboat
Steamboat buffet with a Korean side, by the mall listing: seven soup bases including pepper bak kut teh, ginseng, collagen and mala, and up to 70 raw items. Come hungry and with a group. It breaks between lunch and dinner by the mall directory, 3pm to 5pm on weekdays and 3.30pm to 5pm at weekends, so check the clock.
15. TORA-SAN
Japanese rice bowls topped with seafood, chirashi and donburi, by the mall listing. Order a chirashi bowl if you want raw fish without paying sushi counter prices. Open 11am to 10pm by the mall directory. A quick solo lunch on Level 3.
16. Beauty in The Pot
Hotpot built around nourishing broths, by the mall listing: ten soup bases, and the Beauty Collagen Broth is the one it calls the all-time favourite. Add the Spicy Nourishing Broth if you want heat. The mall directory gives 11.30am to 6am daily, the latest hours in the mall by far, and the listing mentions private rooms. We could not confirm the hours on Paradise Group's own site, so call ahead before a 2am plan.
