Pasir Ris Mall, new mall in the east
“Pasir Ris is so ulu,” our colleague who lives in the West said when we mentioned that there’s a new mall opening.
But for those in the know, Pasir Ris has long been happening – with spots like Downtown East and White Sands. But now, the neighbourhood welcomes its newest and biggest mall: Pasir Ris Mall.
Where is Pasir Ris Mall?
Pasir Ris Mall is located at 7 Pasir Ris Central, just behind Pasir Ris MRT Station. To get there, exit the station and turn right after seeing White Sands Mall. Afterwards, it’ll be a quick 3-minute walk to Pasir Ris Mall.
The mall is part of an integrated development consisting of a bus interchange, town plaza, and condo – Pasir Ris 8. Before this, it was just an empty plot of land with a sheltered walkway connecting the MRT to a bus stop.
What you should know before visiting Pasir Ris Mall
Pasir Ris Mall was officially opened on 12th June. Not all the stores are open as of publishing – but once it’s complete, there’ll be 150 shops for you to shop, dine, and play at. It will also be part of a new integrated transport hub, with a new bus interchange in 2025 and the Cross Island Line in 2030. But for now, we have to be content with Pasir Ris MRT station at the East-West Line.
Since Pasir Ris Mall is located near the Eastern Corridor and Pasir Ris Park, there are facilities built to make active living convenient. For example, there are over 1,000 parking lots for bicycles and shower amenities for men and women located at B1.
You can park your bike at the parking lot and rinse off all that sticky sweat and grime at the paid shower facilities down the corridor.
– What to eat at Pasir Ris Mall –
As a heartland mall, you can expect to find the usual food spots like McDonald’s, Guzman y Gomez, Toast Box, Crave, Bread Talk, and Jollibee. And of course, there are the usual bubble tea and kopi spots like Luckin Coffee and Kopifellas.
1. Taste of Indonesia
Street food vibes in AC
Those looking for a different spin on their mall food ventures can head over to Taste of Indonesia. Not only will you get to try Indonesian cuisine without travelling, but you’ll get to do so in a miniature street food setting, inspired by roadside food stalls in cities like Jakarta and Yogyakarta. Expect to see food carts lined up serving dishes like Nasi Goreng, Ayam Penyet, Mie Ayam, and Nasi Padang starting from $10.
The Bihun Bakso ($7.50) serves up a hearty meal consisting of rice vermicelli and meatballs. If you’re here with the fam, the Nasi Ambeng classic ($38) – with dishes like rice, beef rendang, fried lungs and salted fish – is sure to fill up your tummies quickly.
Unit number: #B2-37
2. Malaysia Boleh!
A taste of Malaysia in Singapore
At Malaysia Boleh!, you can get your fix of Malaysian hawker grub without travelling across the Causeway to get to JB. Slurp into crowd favourites like the Mee Hoon Kuey ($6.30) or Prawn Noodle Soup ($6.00). The Chilli Ban Mian ($8.10) is also worth a shout for those looking to turn up the heat.
For dessert, get the chendol or iced kacang to soothe your sweet tooth at just $3.70 each. There are many other options and you may need a minute or two before deciding, so ensure you chope your place first with a packet of tissue on the table.
Unit number: #B1-34
3. Pizza Amore
Al fresco dining experience
Pizza Amore is a spot for fellow Pasir Ris peeps to gatekeep. Serving authentic New York pizza straight from the oven, it’s something new worth trying. Their margherita pizza ($21.50) is made with in-house dough cooked on woodfire and topped with mozzarella to give you a tasty bite.
If this is a date night between you and your partner, elevate the experience by requesting to be seated outside. You’ll have front-row seats to the MRT zooming past outside for a heartland al fresco experience. Who needs Emily in Paris when you have Pasir Ris?
Sweet tooths can end the night off by tucking into the Tiramisu ($16.50), a crowd favorite.
Unit number: #02-65

Easties now no longer have to head to SingPost Centre to get their mala fix, with specialist chain Yang Guo Fu Mala Tang making its debut. Of course, it wouldn’t be a mala place if you couldn’t create your own order, which you can do so here at a rate of $3.60/100g. Those who get off from having a kick from anything spicy can try out the Spicy Mala Beef Broth ($10.90).
Once you’ve had enough, cool off with their Master Kang Rock Sugar Pear Beverage ($2.80), popular amongst customers.
Unit number: #01-11
5. Kuriya Japanese Market
Fresh produce from Japan
Those looking to recreate Japanese recipes at home can swing by Kuriya Japanese Market. You’ll be glad to know that the seafood and sushi items here are air-flown directly from Japan 3 times per week, so it’s always fresh. For items more instant, there’s a bunch of ready-to-eat meals available too, from sushi boxes to sashimi party platters from $6.70.

Should you feel lost, you can approach their staff for help, whether it’s about which ingredients are suitable or if they have any cooking tips to offer. You can even request for fish slicing services and they’ll lend you a hand.

– Family-friendly activities at Pasir Ris Mall –
Pasir Ris Mall is jam packed with enrichment centres. For starters, there’s Mavis Tutorial Centre, MindChamps Preschool and MindSpace. While all these will definitely help your child tackle hard PSLE questions, all work and no play makes them a dull kid.
Here are some fun spots to check out for them after studying.
9. BearyFun Gym X
Gym for kids

While the adults are shredding it out at Snap Fitness, the kiddos can do their own version of cardio at BearyFun Gym X. The gymnastics gym is tailored for kids up to 12 years old. Other than helping your kids stay active, there’s also an exclusive app you can download to keep track of your kids’ progress.

Besides that, there’s also a free outdoor playground where the kids can see the MRT zoom past whilst playing. To get there, just head to the Central Greenway on level 2.

The playground is divided into 2 areas, sandwiched with greenery. From trampolines to jump on, to balancing beams to conquer, and even play panels to get their creative juices flowing, there’s plenty of space for your kids to run around at. Benches are also available, for parents and caretakers who want to keep watch. The best part is that it’s all free.
In the future, it will also connect the mall to Pasir Ris Park through a 1km long shared cycling and walking trail.
Location: Central Greenway, outside level 2
12. Timezone
More than 9,000sqft
Before the kids start complaining about a trip to the mall being too boring, head over to Timezone for some fun games and arcades. With it being over 9,881sqft, it may not be as big as the other Timezone at Parkway Parade. But it’s still bigger than the ones at Our Tampines Hub, Marina Square, and Northpoint City, another W there for Pasir Ris Mall.
Wheel of fortune may have ended recently, but you can still win some “cheques” at the Timezone here.
Expect to find a slew of arcade and VR games, and even a min bowling alley. There are even side bumpers in place so your little one can build some confidence without the ball going into the gutter every time.

Bellow your lungs out at Have Fun Karaoke, where you can sing songs in a whole host of languages from Japanese to Tagalog. Rest assured that with the state of the art entertainment too, you will have a good time there. The KTV branch may ring a bell for you and that’s because they opened their flagship outlet at Cineleisure Orchard last year. They also have other outlets at Bugis Plus and Suntec City for you to head to if you can’t wait.
There is also a live band bar if you prefer to listen to others rather than you doing the singing. Once your voices get coarse from singing, switch over to other activities there like their darts machine and arcade games to end off the night. Plus, there’s a mini indoor playground for the kids to occupy themselves with.
