From 18 November onwards, step with caution into Gardens by the Bay as 18 dinosaurs take up home at Singapore’s first dinosaur-themed food hall, Jurassic Nest.

For the first time in Singapore, a food hall brings together 4 Michelin-rated culinary brands under one entertainment and lifestyle destination. Treat your eyes and your lips as you embark on a gastronomic journey with a selection of famous Asian cuisine starting from only $8.80. Brands include Hawker Chan, Tsuta, Bismillah Biryani, Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang, Took Lae Dee, Mama by Putien Group, and JN Cafe. 

Jurassic Nest – 18 Daily Programmed Shows

Jurassic Nest Food Hall comes alive with three hyper-realistic animatronic life-sized dinosaurs 18 times a day across two segments. Inside Jurassic Nest where a 3-metre-high waterfall shelters a T. rex and Brachiosaurus, the two fiercest and tallest dinosaurs come alive to nine shows per day, roaring into life to original soundtracks for approximately three minutes each time. Catch the show with free admission every hour from 12pm to 8pm.

In the outdoor alfresco area of JN Café, the stealthy Oviraptor hides in the shadow of another waterfall and comes alive nine times a day at hourly intervals from 11.30am to 7.30pm.

In between, catch 15 other static dinosaurs from the Velociraptor and Dilong Paradoxus to the Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus, scattered across the food hall while you dine on your favourite foods. There are also adorable dinosaur merchandises sold too!

Jurassic Nest – 4 Michelin-rated Eats To Fill Your Hungry Tummies 

Amidst the magnificent creatures, seven brands await to dish up delectable Asian cuisine with prices starting from as low as $8.80. Four of them are proudly Michelin-affiliated, making Jurassic Nest the first food hall to have over 50% Michelin-rated food brands.

Hawker Chan is the world’s first hawker stall to be awarded one Michelin star, recognizing owner Chan Hon Meng’s dedication to his chicken rice that has been perfected for over 13 years. Hawker Chan brings soya sauce chicken rice and noodles alongside a handful of seasonal delights.

Tsuta brings to the table its world’s first Michelin-starred ramen, deserving for its mission to redefine the classic ramen experience without any artificial components or MSG, taking creative inspiration instead from premium, natural ingredients, like in the case of its signature Premium Char Siu Truffle Shoyu Soba.

Bismillah Briyani is a heritage restaurant serving the world’s only Michelin-awarded briyani. Its chicken dum briyani is a 6-time winner of the Michelin Bib Gourmand award, so you know what to order!

Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang is not just any nasi lemak. The Muslim-owned nasi lemak brand has been featured on the Michelin Guide as one to watch in 2021 and 2022 for its crispy, crunchy fried chicken that bites into juicy tenderness to go with the most fragrant coconut milk rice.

Took Lae Dee brings authentic Thai flavours as a restaurant chain that has been around since 1972, served through dishes that are prepared a la minute for freshness and quality. Its Chicken Pad Krapow and Tom Yum are comparable to the original ones you’ll find in Thailand.

JN Cafe is Singapore’s happiest family café, serving up a menu catered to the young and young and heart with café favourites including salads, pasta, and sandwiches balanced off with treats like waffles, ice cream and desserts. Miss not its signature dish of Chicken Avocado Croffle.

Ma Ma by Putien Group is a unique upcoming concept by the Putien Group so expect the same reverence to quality and enticing authentic flavours that the group has come to be known for.

Wait no more! Step into a lost world long forgotten amidst ample natural sunlight and realistic trees where dinosaur friends hide at Jurassic Nest!
