Anchorvale Village in Sengkang
Hot on the heels of Northshore Plaza in Punggol, Sengkang Grand Mall in Buangkok, and The Woodleigh Mall in – well, Woodleigh, there’s yet another mall opening along the North-East Line: Anchorvale Village. It’s 2 LRT stops away from Sengkang MRT station, which means that residents of the Anchorvale and Fernvale regions no longer need to venture all the way to Compass One to shop and dine.
Because the mall just opened this month, there are plenty of opening deals to take advantage of. We headed down to suss out the most notable stores to visit, along with some lobangs which warrant a trip down even if you’re not a North-Eastie:
Best stores & opening promos at Anchorvale Village
Nearby residents will get to flex that their neighbourhood grocery store is a high-level Anchorvale Village FairPrice. It is home to numerous ready-to-eat food stations, including Hong Kong-style roast meats, Chinese skewers from $1, sushi and bentos, and even a fresh yong tau food kiosk.
If you’re looking to surprise a loved one or spruce up your home decor, you can also find affordable bouquets here from just $6.05.
To stock up on quality seafood, head to The Seafood Market Place By Song Fish. They’re currently having a buy 1 get 1 free deal on fresh sea bass (from $9.40) and threadfin (from $30.05) fillets.
Besides fresh seafood, you can also pick up hotpot essentials here. There’s a deal on Brazilian premium pork collar and pork belly for $6 each, or $11 for 2. To recreate a Haidilao meal at home, pick up some of their Haidilao house brand meats (from $7.80), including chicken, pork, beef, and lamb. There’s also a 2 for $11.80 deal on Fuzhou meatballs – which are pork meatballs encased within a bouncy fishball.
Over at Fun Land, you’ll find an assortment of gifts, toys, accessories, and even snacks. To save yourself a trip down to Bites by Scarlett, you can pick up Chinese convenience store snacks here from $0.60 apiece. Sift through the shelves of knick-knacks like lanyards, totes bags, and DIY art kits. We even saw a cute pastel puffer bag for $9.90!
Bagels and cream sandos are all the rage now, partially because they’re so IG-worthy. They usually also come with a pretty hefty price tag, but San.Wich sells them for just $3.20 each. They also have a variety of sandwiches made with eye-catching colourful bread. These loaves are naturally flavoured and coloured, using ingredients like beetroot, pumpkin, purple sweet potato, and tomato.
For more nutritious food on-the-go, check out Bibimbap Dosirak, a takeaway kiosk serving halal-certified Korean rice bowls and bentos. Priced from $5.50, the filling meals are assembled fresh to order. Choose from proteins such as unagi, salmon, and gochujang-marinated chicken and beef.

All in all, there is no lack of food options in Anchorvale Village, with over 20 eateries in the mall. These include fan-favourite fast food joints like A&W and Jollibee, Swee Heng bakery and Ya Kun to grab breakfast on-the-go, and Swee Choon so you can have a dim sum feast.
There’s even a Mister Donut, so you don’t have to join the snaking queues at their other outlets in Singapore. Bragging rights ’cause this is the first Mister Donut outlet in the North-East.
