The Eastern part of Singapore gets lots of credit for housing hipster cafes, but Westsiders have few reasons to make the long trip there. That’s because Jurong has its own fair share of cafes for coffee, yummy bites and desserts, and here are a few that are worth checking out if you’re in the area!
#1 Time Table Cafe

On the menu you’ll find pasta dishes, pizza, waffles and more. Tuck into hearty mains such as Smoked Salmon Baked Rice or Mushroom Aglio Olio. If you’re giving in to your sweet tooth, get the waffle with a scoop of ice cream or yogurt and fruits for a less sinful choice.
