Jurong West Hawker Centre finally reopened with a soft launch on 28 Sep. The popular hawker centre previously closed three years ago due to a management change.
In a Facebook post announcing the opening, Member of Parliament (MP) Desmond Lee promised a wide variety of 39 food stalls in the two-storey building. The new layout features 580 seats for families to enjoy meals.
Several stores also feature S$3 ‘Budget Meals’, certainly a nice welcome given the slew of rising prices lately.
The official opening will occur sometime this month.
It was three long years ago when the National Environment Agency (NEA) announced Jurong West Hawker Centre would close in Aug 2020.
During the long absence, NEA appointed JW 50 Hawker Heritage as the new operator. With feedback from 2,000 residents, extensive renovations were done.

Certainly, a welcome change from all the stories of food prices only going up.
Even ignoring the budget meals, the new hawker centre provides more than enough variety to satisfy any hungry patron or foodie.
