The mini-mart is cramp like anything, but sells quite a bit of things coz they really fully utilise the place. The price are quite good too so a lot of people shop there. Only 1 counter accept nets for $30 and above purchase, else is cash. The price use to be even better but went up a bit, but many items still cheaper than elsewhere. Not a bad place (except the cramp-ness). The coffee shop at blk 334A sells mixed veg rice, zhi cha, western, fried kwey tiao, fishball noodles, chicken/char siew rice, prawn noodles and indian food. Plus bao and chee cheong fan at the drinks stall area. Hope I covered all. Haha...food wise so so lah, and the malay stall close down liao, that one actually quite nice leh. The wet market when my mum went (she stayed at my sis place in sembawang during her confinement), she gave up and take bus to chong pang wet market or her place downstairs wet market instead. Say small and lousy, which explain why NTUC at Sun Plaza always super long queue! Think people might as well buy from NTUC than to make their way to the corner of Sembawang. Ya 505 got nice food. The Western food not bad and considered cheap. But a bit far from our place right, heard the one at 406 also not bad. The 505 western food also sells nasi lemak (western style!) and wu xiang. Strange but logical combination since a lot of fried stuff. Haha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes wont have the famous brands that we get in NTUC. the wet market is really pretty small, think the only value added service from sembawang mart is that they have a shuttle bus to send u back to your doorsteps yea. the 505's western food really not bad, small portion though. the carrot cake too, in black.

keltong 4 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 facing the small road, can see the primary school. Someone did mentioned that certain months of the year due to the direction of the wind, the dust from the sembawang shipyard will blow over. When I was choosing house one of the upstairs neighbour who saw us looking around the area invited us to their house to take a look, and he too told us about this problem that his neighbour facing the school got the same problem too but he doesn't (he is facing inside).

Aiya there's a malay stall at the MRT station. Also Cavaran in Sun Plaza also offer halal food therefore it is another venue where Malay can dine in.
