Westgate

Suburban shopping center with a good spread of shops and eateries, a great playground for kids, plus the convenience of a subway station and bus interchange. More parking would make the place perfect. While weekends bring in the crowd, it doesn’t get jam-​packed thanks no doubt to the three adjacent malls.

Enjoyed going to this mall during our visit to Singapore earlier this year. Easy to get there on the MRT from where we were staying in Yew Tee. My grand daughter especially liked the large kid’s playground.

Free wifi, spacious layout and with a number of restaurants to choose from. There are seats where you can relax while waiting for your partner to finish his or her shopping. With the free wifi, you won’t get bored!
This mall is more high-​end than JCube, Jem and Big Box and you might find the price a bit too much for your liking especially at the restaurants.
My regular hangouts? Isetan Supermarket, Popular, Texas, Food Republic,
Starbucks and Sushi Express. As its near to the MRT station and bus interchange, I don’t have to worry about rain.
Overall, it’s a great mall to be in and who says you need to head down to town just to enjoy the shopping experience.

I was quite impressed with Westgate. This is a fairly new mall that seemed to have opened up a few months after it’s neighbor, JEM. It is easily accessible by a covered walkway directly from the Jurong East MRT, which is a convenience that JCube across the street doesn’t have.
This mall is interesting in that it’s a mix of an indoor and outdoor mall. Half of the mall is inside and air conditioned, while the other half requires you to walk outside (though it is fully covered, so if it rains it’s not too much of a problem.) Some businesses located in the outdoor section have doors that close, so they’re not completely outdoors. Others, like the food & beverage outlets, offer alfresco seating to take advantage of the outside.
I really liked the variety of stores here. Overall, I would say it’s a bit upscale but not so much designer fashion, as I don’t recall seeing high-​end stores like Prada or Louis Vuitton. I think the closest I’ve seen is probably Kate Spade, which will be opening an outlet soon. There are also a lot stalls and restaurants to choose from, so you’ll never go hungry here!
This is great mall if you have children. They have a «Westgate Kids Club» which is located on the top floor– it has a huge playground, and when I visited it happened to be school holidays so the queue was out of control. They even have a kid’s shower room on the 4^th level. How crazy is that?!
Westies, y’all are a lucky bunch. This is definitely a mall I would hang out in if I stayed in the area.
