On 1st September, a brand spanking new mall officially opened in Sengkang!
Yes – we are talking about Compass One!

Boasting a whole plethora of stores ranging from… well… they have everything lah! LOL
Serious! Just check out their Store Directory and you’ll see what we mean! They even have special features like the Ninja Trail for the kids!

Well, as always, the #1 priority for us is – what’s there to makan at Compass One?
Lo and behold! They have no less than 18 Halal makan options for us (and hopefully more to come in future!)

But it’s important to keep in mind that because the mall (and the makan places) have just started operations, a lot of them do not have the Halal certificates in-store at this point of time. What we can tell you is that – we have checked and the makan places listed here in the the midst of certification.

As usual, it will take awhile before the whole process is completed (including a certain period of running time for the outlets). Head down if you’re comfortable but if not, there’s no harm taking note now and then making plans to head down when the certificate is confirmed!

1. PrimaDéli

Location: #B1-18
Operating Hours: 10.00am til 10.00pm

Famous for its baked goodies and, more recently, their absolutely divine Salted Yolk Lava Cheese Tarts – PrimaDéli is a great stop to get your fix of tasty treats for home or even to pick up some goodies on the way to teatime at a friend’s place! And don’t forget to get some waffles too LOL

2. My Briyani House

Location: #01-25
Operating Hours: 10.00am til 10.00pm

Here’s a place that we have been planning to visit for ages! Since we first saw them at Kallang Wave Mall, we’ve seen more My Briyani House outlets open at IMM, Seletar Mall, the newly re-opened Marine Cove and now Compass One! With a pretty extensive menu including all your favourite Mamak favourites like Prata, Mee Goreng and Briyani (like duh), reviews online for My Briyani House (owned by Mr Teh Tarik Group) seem to be positive!

3. Ayam Penyet Ria

Location: #01-34
Operating Hours: 11.30am til 10.00pm

We usually go to the original outlet located at Lucky Plaza but Ayam Penyet Ria now has 6 outlets spread out across the island with the latest now at Compass One. Get your fix of Ayam Penyet (I personally prefer the Empal Penyet!) and don’t forget to ask for extra kremes (crumbs) okay! Oh, and just a word of warning – that sambal is the real deal so expect that spicy kick to the max! Shoik!
