I usually go hiking in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and will have lunch at Beauty World Food Centre after the hike. Due to the COVID-19 situation for almost two years, some of the stalls at the food court had closed and new ones have emerged.
Most of the food in the food centre are nice but I can't list all of them here. So, I will highlight the stalls that I frequent most and some new stalls. Do try the other stalls of your choice when you are there.
1. Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle Rice (香港玫瑰油鸡面饭)
Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle Rice stall maybe lesser known to many people but for those who have tried it, they will definitely go back again — including me. During lunch time, the stall is never without a queue, so either go early or expect to queue.
I always ordered the soya sauce chicken noodle added with barbecue pork. Both the chicken and barbecue pork are tender and juicy. The springy noodle is tossed in soya sauce that has a distinctive rose flavour. Another of my favourite here is the shrimp dumplings noodle or soup (usually with 3 pieces of big shrimp dumplings). Wrapped in each dumpling are whole shrimps with minced meat. Savour the crunchiness on each bite!
2. Blanco Court Fresh Fish Soup (白兰阁鲜鱼汤)
Blanco Court Fresh Fish Soup is rather well-known to fish soup lovers and has a main setup in Beach Road. Their sliced fish bee hoon soup and fried fish bee hoon soup, with or without milk, are flavour-enhanced with fried salted fish. Let the salted fish soak in the soup for a while before eating and they will be bowls of chunky fish with flavourful soup.
3. Hong Wen Mutton Soup (红炆羊肉汤）
For many years, Beauty World Food Centre is one of those few places to look for good Chinese mutton soup to warm the body. Today, Hong Wen is the only stall in the food centre that sells it. I have eaten the mutton soup here for more times than I can remember. I will usually order mutton soup although I will go for a mix of mutton and lamb stomach for more textures on some occasions. The mutton is tender and the stomach is crunchy with slight chewiness. And I just love the light herbal soup.
4. Victory Thai Boat Noodle
Apart from the food centre on the 4th floor, there is also a Thai food shop on the first floor that we visited several times since it started operations. Victory Thai Boat Noodle is a nice place to go for Thai boat noodles and other Thai food at reasonable prices.
Victory's signature dishes are beef or pork boat noodles. Other Thai dishes include varieties of rice dishes, salads, curry dishes, etc, and also desserts like mango glutinous rice and iced red ruby. I like the beef boat noodle and have ordered it almost every time I visited the shop.

Due to frequent changes in the stalls, either closed down / moved out / new, I am not able to keep up with updating a listing page. As such, I created a dynamic page that will display restaurants, cafes, hawker stalls, bakeries, etc, that I tried in Beauty World Centre as well as in the neighbouring Cheong Chin Nam Road, Bukit Timah Interim Hawker Centre, etc. Tap / click a button below:
