Kyushu pancakes cafe
In the quaint neighbourhood of Bishan, there is a small cafe that sells Kyushu pancakes and other western fusion delights! The space in the cafe itself is quite small so I often see a queue along the outside. Takeout might be better for those who aren’t able to wait.
In terms of the food, it tastes fairly decent but not the best I’ve had. Plus they’re a little pricey too for the quality they serve. But the chocolate cookie milkshake was nice!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Of Flaky Egg Tarts, Crispy Polo Buns & More!
There are many egg tart shops in Singapore but one of ny favourite is Joy Luck Tea House which is located at basement 1 of Junction 8 shopping mall. Once at the shop, you will see rows of glorious egg tarts, Hong Kong pastries and their famous polo buns. They serve 2 kinds of egg tarts, the flaky type and the other with cookie base. Both are equally good! Their crispy polo buns comes with different variations and you can either have it plain or stuffed with luncheon meat or roasted chicken. Just yummy! The shops sells drinks too and I would recommend getting their milk tea. It pairs so nicely with the egg tarts and polo buns. As usual, I would always get their egg tarts and I m pretty sure you will get some too. Enjoy their lovely egg tarts and other Chinese pastries!

Newly Opened Shake Shack at Junction 8
Shake shack, the famous fast food joint from New York has recently opened another outlet at junction 8 shopping mall. This new shake shack joint has just opened last October and it is a 2 storey high eatery serving all your shake shack favourites.
The place is spacious and you can find items exclusive to only junction 8 outlet, such as their "who 8 my cookie" concrete, which is an ice cream dessert. Shake shack is still famous for their crinkle cut fries with cheese sauce and their different types of burgers. My personal favourite is their double shackburger with 2 juicy beef patties and stuffed with lettuce, tomatoes and their special shacksauce. Their milkshakes are just as good and I love their 'black & white' which is a mixture of chocolate and vanilla milkshake. So rich and creamy! Beers and wines are also served at their outlet and lemonade, etc. Shake shack never disappoints!

Singapore Chinese Food
The only restaurant that bring china vibe because of its interior set up with lantern decor. It got nice ambience and affordable price. Located at Junction 8 basement, Bishan, Singapore.
Very convenient to go because its near MRT, in shopping mall and near with supermarket, although not easy to spot because it is at the corner end.
I like their affordable porridge, can takeaway without any additional price. It has ginger, meat and eggs. Very rare in Singapore that porridge/congee mix with ginger. Nice and healthy. If it's not crowded, I'd dine in there for sure. Worth to visit!

Cafe favourites @ The Coffee Bean
#musteat
One of my favourite places go chill out and have a good meal and drinks is at Coffee Bean at Junction 8.
The cafe has an extensive menu which includes ice blended drinks, hot expresso/latte/Americans and non caffeinated drinks such as Vanilla Sunrise and Malibu Dream.
They serve many different kinds of pastries and cakes available as well and my favourite is the carrot cake and new york cheesecake, their sliced cakes are generous in size.
The cafe has a nice decor and has many seats available as well where you can enjoy your meal and drinks in air-conditioned comfort. The staff here are friendly as well!

Yakiniku barbecue
Address - Yakiniku Like Restaurant, Junction 8 Shopping Centre, 9 Bishan Place, #01-40, Singapore 579837
A new restaurant just popped up at Bishan Junction 8 Shopping Centre called Yakiniku Like! They have many branches all over Singapore and the reason why they’re so popular is because they serve affordable barbecued meat sets.
The set is quite filling and very worth it. One drawback though is that you do get what you pay for. The quality of the meats aren’t fantastic and some of them can be somewhat chewy and tough.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Japan’s high speed rail at the dining table
Address - Genki Sushi, Junction 8 Shopping Centre, 9 Bishan Place, #01-22/30, Singapore 579837
Genki Sushi has many outlets all throughout Singapore and they are best known for their high speed Japan rail trains delivering food to their diners! The concept is quite interactive in that after diners order their food, a train will bring the order right to the diners’ table and they will have to take it off the train before it zips back.
Food is nice and fairly affordable too! The ambience resembles those dine-and-go restaurants where people don’t really linger for the ambience.

Ambush Cafe (Junction 8 Bishan)
Ambush Cafe impresses with its extensive menu that features well-loved European classics. Their Fish and Chips are a crowd favorite, boasting perfectly battered fish paired with crispy golden fries, a simple yet satisfying dish. 😋The Salmon Steak is another highlight, grilled to perfection and served with a side of flavorful vegetables.

Mister Donut is in Singapore!
#cherryblossom2024
Mister Donut Singapore
Address - 9 Bishan Pl, #02-27A Junction 8, Singapore 579837
Ambiance/Facilities - famous donut shop from japan
Highlights - pon de ring donut
Avg. Price per Person - $14/pax
Rating - 4/5
I was over the moon when I learn that Mister Donut has landed onto our sunny shores. You can now find it on the 2nd floor of Junction 8 shopping mall. Mister Donut is a famous Donut shop that originated from Japan and they are famous for their pon de ring Donut- a Donut with a slight chewy texture, like a mochi. Be amazed with the selections of donuts. They have different types of pon de rings, melt in the mouth donuts and crullers, etc. Mant flavpurs are available too. A box of 6 donuts cost $14 and I thought it's pretty reasonable for high qulity japanese donuts. The queue outside the shop may get long sometimes but otherwise pretty fast moving. Get your hands on Mister Donuts in Singapore today!

Where to go for affordable Wagyu
✔️ Aburi-EN Japanese Restaurant
📍 9 Bishan Place, Junction 8 Shopping Mall, #01-37, Singapore 579837
This branch of Aburi-EN specializes in the Japanese Wagyu beef specialty so you enjoy this cut of beef, you are in for a treat! In addition to that, customers can also order other meat types like pork or chicken. Most of the menu items here are rice-based but there are one or two noodle options.
My friends and I tried the Wagyu beef stew and the pork belly dons! Wow, the fatty parts were really melt in your mouth soft, very delicious. You can also choose to add on sides like ramen egg, salad, miso soup and others. Overall, the ambience was pleasant and comfortable, with a good distance between tables so it doesn’t feel too compact.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Al fresco coffee joint
Address - Starbucks Cafe, 51 Bishan Street 13, #01-02, Singapore 579799
In the central atrium of Bishan Community Club, there is a Starbucks cafe outlet that has a really nice al fresco ambience! It is fairly quiet on most days, with some students studying inside sometimes. On top of serving their iconic coffees, they also sell pastries, desserts and cookies too.
It’s great how it is conveniently located right opposite the Bishan MRT station and Junction 8 Shopping Centre. I recommend that you come in the evening when the weather is cooler and the pretty fairy lights are switched on!

Arcade amusement
Address - Omocha Kyatcha amusement centre, Junction 8 Shopping Centre, 9 Bishan Place, #04-04, Singapore 579837
Hidden away in a corner of Junction 8 Shopping Centre on level 4, there is a mini Japanese-themed amusement centre that has a slew of video games and claw machines! This shop is right next to the Challenger shop which sells IT gadgets.
You can also find Daytona-like car racing games and indoor basketball challenges too. One thing is that there isn’t much space in the shop so it can be quite a squeeze if there are too many people inside.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Atrium pop-up booth
Address - Junction 8 Shopping Centre, 9 Bishan Place, Singapore 579837
In the centre of Junction 8 Shopping Centre’s atrium, there is a pop-up booth that has all sorts of amusement activities and giveaways! The first thing that caught my eye was the claw machine with super cute stuffed toys in them.
The staff there were also giving out free balloons with fairy lights to people walking past, really pretty and much longer-lasting than typical helium balloons. They also gave out stickers of their adorable tiger and bunny mascots. Head down asap for some fun and freebies!
