(Updated on 28 Nov 2014) The Seletar Mall finally opens for business! After watching the construction of the mall taking shape over the last 24 months or so, residents of North East Singapore now have a mall of their own. According to the Business Times report on 3 November, the mall, which is jointly developed by Singapore Press Holdings Ltd and United Engineers Ltd, obtained its temporary occupation permit on 28 October. More than 99% of the space in the mall has been spoken for. The anchor tenants are Fairprice Finest, Shaw Theatres, Foodfare foodcourt and department store BHG. For those of you who are not so familiar with the area, Seletar Mall is located on Sengkang West Avenue at the junction with Fernvale Road. The Fernvale LRT station is just right at its door step. If this is still Greek to you, then I am sure you will know where it is if I tell you it is a couple of minutes drive towards the East from the famous Jalan Kayu roti prata stall.
We are as usual, interested only in finding out what to eat at the mall. Today we take you on a walkabout to check out the F&B outlets. Other than some of the outlets which are still doing their renovations, most of the F&B outlets are in operation. It was extremely crowded in this rather compact mall. For those who arrive by public transport, they have it easy as there is direct access to the bus stop, taxi stand and LRT station. Those who drive should be prepared to wait especially during the first few months as many curious residents come to take a look. It is also a long drive down to the carpark which is in basements 3 to 5. We suggest you take the travellators and escalators. The lifts are slow.
Most of the F&B tenants are familiar names like Han’s, McDonald’s, Delifrance, Din Tai Fung, Paradise Inn, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Ya Kun etc. But we also notice a few other names such as Cellarbration (wines and spirits), Japanese Charcoal Grilled Muah Chee, Let’s EAT, Sensai Yakitori, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, Swee Heng Classic 1989 (bakery), Proofer Boulangerie and umisushi. Hopefully the combination of the old and the new will make available a good mix of the large and familiar with the young and restless. Please enjoy the photos that we took of most of the shops (some may not be open yet or we might have missed them) which hopefully will give you an idea of what to expect at the mall.

I just visited the Texas Chicken Seletar Mall branch at 12.20pm today and the server gave me a drink with a loose cap that caused my sweet drink to spill all over the table and floor. Another staff was assigned to clean it up and started scolding me “pig brain” in Chinese and said I was so stupid not to be able to handle the drink properly. This incident has put me off Texas Chicken and I will not visit their stores again. Certainly the chicken is nothing to shout about either. Lousy service and lousy food. I had to go home and wash off my sticky dress and shoes which were ruined!!
hi grace…so sad to hear what you went through.if it was me i would scold the staff who called names and demabded to see his manager..have you feedback to the person in charge.i think you should also share this in facebook so others could beware of these staffs.
