    A really nice place located right next to Beauty World MRT station. The highlights of this place are mainly the Hawker food stalls at the roof of the building which has an overhead bridge connecting to Rifle Range Nature Park. There is a Giant Supermarket here with a wide array of fresh fruits and vegetables to pick from. Overall a nice shopping centre for all your needs although it's one of the older shopping malls in SG.

    Muzart has shown great expertise in teaching their students to create crafts and paintings. My son had no experience in paintings before i signed him up. After a few months his painting looks so beautiful!

    One of the oldest shopping centre in Singapore. Beauty world is like katong plaza of the west. The moment you enter, you will be greeted by a distinct musky smell which leads you all the way to the rows of shops on level 1 and 2. These shops are mostly tuition centres. If you are here, it would probably be because of giant supermarket at the basement or the food centre all the way up the top floor. There are some interesting selection of stalls by young hawkers on top floor and on level 1 there is May's cafe which sells your usual breakfast fare.

    Nice food centre upstairs with a famous Mala Tang store. Beauty world is also an enrichment haven for kids with art schools like Muzart, music school like Cristofori and other tuition centres. the old second hand book store on lvl 2 used to be my go to place as a kid. Nostalgic..

    A quaint shopping mall with lots of old-school shops selling a wide diversity of goods and services. There are hawker stalls on the top level too. A very interesting place unlike the other typical malls that are currently dominating the commercial scene in Singapore.

    Its outdoor concept is interesting, bringing you back to Singapore's olden times We found a nice drinking place " Wipe Out" that has a nice view and good price for Guinness, Ashai, at $8 during Happy Hour. You can order food from various hawker stores and there is no GST. A definitely must visit corner to chill and have a nice drink, enjoy the good company of friends and the nice view.

    Nice place to chill in. The lady boss is so friendly. Food is tasty too. But do check out the pricing before dining. Personally, I feel that it is not cheap 😄😄. But overall it is a good experience.

    The authentic Korean food at Pink Candy is located at the Beauty World Centre, Food Centre at level 4). The food is really yummy and delicious and the portions are huge. We ordered the marinated pork and spicy pork and cuttlefish with rice. Korean beer is smooth and refreshing especially on a warm evening. The price of food is really affordable and reasonable as compared to Korean restaurants.

  • 3/5 Paul W. 4 months ago on Google
    Being here is not a polished glass, burnished metal, fragrance enhanced shopping experience. It is Singapore real life with shopkeepers that will shake your hand and isles that are just too tight for people to pass. The back of the grocery store has a constant funk and the elevator doesn't always work, but kids coming out of the upper story "after schools" seem pretty happy to stop by the bakery or McDonald's for ice cream. And prices are good

    This morning ordered the kaya butter toast. The bread was soft. Obviously, the bread had been toasted earlier. The kaya and butter are then added when an order is received. My friend who had ordered the same just before me also commented that the bread was soft. I have informed the staff and hopefully it would be improved.

  • 5/5 Adrian Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food at the roof top hawker center and a nice old schools shopping mall.

  • 4/5 Yi Z. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is good for local food. One thing I would say is, there might not be a lot of seats and most of the shops are closed due to certain reasons. Moreover I do recommend to come to this place of you want to taste some local food.

  • 4/5 Christine L. 1 year ago on Google
    Hawker food - I love the dry Bak Kut teh. One of the nicest I had. Braised pig intestines and liver. Bunch of youngsters running the stall with super speed! Impressive!

  • 4/5 Jenifer T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very old building 🏚 with lots of memories for people around here. Now with mrt just besides makes it more lively. Food centre at top floor serves lots of good food.

  • 5/5 TypodPikachu 1 year ago on Google
    This has always been my most reliable shopping mall. Has a McDonald's for breakfast stuff, lots of hairdressers, food court upstairs, tuition centres, many shops for utilities and a supermarket in the basement. And of course you can't forget the BUBBLE TEA. Thank you Beauty World Centre, very cool.

  • 5/5 La N. 11 months ago on Google
    That place is nice and friendly, food is good and have nice scenery/nature area. If you like to try a lot of type of food, I recommend going down and visit to Beauty World Centre. Food centre is very clean. with a variety of seating options available. if you prefer to eat inf open air, you can go down and visit to Beauty world centre. we can find out a lot of interesting shops, such as a Chinese medicine shop, a pet shop, and a variety of other stores.

  • 3/5 YH F. 1 year ago on Google
    Old shopping mall in need of some refurbishment. It was famous for cheap and good food in the past, but perhaps not anymore. Not sure how residents above can live with the smell from the food center coming from below.

    [Beauty World Food Centre] 🌟 7/10 📍 Beauty World Plaza 💰 You Peng Noodle Dumpling House - xiao long bao ($9), shen jian bao ($7), Mentai Sens - Mentaiko Salmon Don ($6.7+$1 for egg), Buta Kin - Tonkotsu Ramen ($8) Level 4 of beauty world plaza houses a food court with many affordable but delicious foods. The serving of the salmon don was big and the mentaiko was nicely torched. Pretty decent for hawker standard. The dumpling store is pretty famous in the area as well, serving affordable xiao long baos but with a slightly thicker skin but was very juicy. However, the shen jian bao was too thick for me. Lastly, the tonkotsu ramen was honestly a pleasent surprise. For just $8, you get such a huge serving with thick pieces of char siew and a nice broth. Don't expect a rich one like those in Japanese ramen stalls but still decent. The char siew was abit too tough which could have been better. Definitely recommend you come to try the xiao long bao and ramen which is quite worth. Wanted to try the chendol store but sadly it was closed when I came down.

    A really old shopping centre, it holds quite a lot of shops that have been there for more than a few years, at least. There is a hawker centre at the highest floor of this shopping centre, and there is also a food stop, which is May Cafe. Though, some parts of the hawker centre are really hot and humid as there is poor ventilation as well as heat from the stalls that are cooking so I’d suggest that you should try to sit somewhere that has open ventilation so as to enjoy your food. They should improve the ventilation in order to accommodate more people than usual. But, the food at the hawker centre is quite good and affordable, so you can try it out. And, there is a few restaurants at the top too so do try it out if you want too. There is also a Giant store, where you could buy your daily necessities there. Overall, it is an old place, but you could have a pleasant time there.

  • 4/5 Avelyne N. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the place to go for the olden Singapore vibe. An old school shopping complex housing a mix of shops and services, eateries, food stalls, tuition centre, hair salon as well as a 24-hour Giant Supermarket on the basement level. The hawker food stalls on the top level sells popular local delicacies and boasts an open sky rooftop. There is also a connected overhead bridge adjoining the Rifle Range Nature Park. Convenient to get to as it is right beside the Beauty World MRT station. The building also has wheelchair accessible entrances, lifts and car park

    Beauty World Centre is a bustling shopping center that offers a wide range of products and services. The complex houses numerous shops selling a variety of items, including clothing, accessories, electronics, household goods, and more. It's a great place to explore if you're looking for unique finds or everyday necessities. One of the standout features of Beauty World Centre is its vibrant hawker center, which is a paradise for food lovers. The shopping experience at Beauty World Centre is generally pleasant, with a mix of both established and independent retailers. Another aspect that some visitors may find challenging is the limited parking space. The parking lots at Beauty World Centre can fill up quickly, especially during peak hours. It's advisable to plan your visit accordingly or consider alternative transportation options if possible.

  • 4/5 Anbu R. 11 months ago on Google
    It is one place to get a feel of the olden Singapore vibe! One of the iconic retail malls! Old school concept and local brands, which you cant find anywhere else. Ranging from local retail services, to cafes/boutique bistros and home-made traditional delicacies.

    Next to the Bukit Timah Shopping Center were people visit for two reasons - helper (maid) hunting or sending your kids for enrichment classes. Beauty World spots a food center on the highest level where the overhead bridge links to the new Rifle Range Nature Reserve that is popular hiking park on the weekends. Note the closing hours of the nature reserve should you visit.

The center has a mix of tenants offering services such as hair salons, nail studios, skincare clinics, and traditional Chinese medicine clinics.

  • 4/5 D. Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Our childhood mall, still a pleasant mall to visit! Hawker center are the top level are a little disappointing though, with many stalls closing and lots of pigeons around. There is always a stench (saliva stench) on most tables we been to and that might affect one appetite 😐 Hope the hawkers can be upgraded and more interesting food could be seen so we can explore there more! Indoor are air conditioned so it's pretty comfortable a mall to walk around. Spacious.

  • 5/5 Aloysius Ong Yew K. 7 months ago on Google
    Beauty World Centre is a shopping complex in Singapore's Bukit Timah neighborhood. It's a convenient hub for various retail shops, including beauty salons, fashion boutiques, and eateries. While it may not be as large or flashy as some other malls, it offers a range of practical services and dining options. If you're in the area and need to run errands or enjoy a quick meal, Beauty World Centre serves as a handy stop.

  • 5/5 Ernest C. 5 months ago on Google
    The only time I would go to Beauty world is for the Hong Wen mutton soup. I've had this since 30 years ago and the owner is still dishing out the same great taste without fail.

  • 5/5 jhtwee 4 months ago on Google
    This shopping mall has an old town feeling to it, like in the 1980s and 1990s, full of nostalgia but has a sufficient variety of amenities to cater to the neighbourhood nearby, housing some classy restaurants as well... strongly recommended...

    Entering the mall feels like travelling back in time. From cafes to hawker centre, you can find it all here. A refreshing change from the cookie cutter malls all over the place.

  • 5/5 Xavier G. 3 years ago on Google
    I give 5 🌟 because I used to live nearby in Goodluck garden, and was coming often to beauty world as it was the nearest shopping mall we could visit at walking distance. It used to be busy, and my kids both went to Christofori . We used to go MacDo (still there) take ID pics (closed) order renovation works ( still a few shops) eat at the hawker on the too floor, or ship in the NTUC at the basement ( now a Giant store)....I had a bite at the MacDo, then walked up the stairs and wandered around in the mall. It's quiet, of course quite old, and a lot less attractive than it was. I thought the MRT would revive the place with customers affluence, but it does not seem to help. The place is just too old, and consumers prefer to ride MRT to city and shop in bigger malls probably.....too bad.

  • 5/5 Jake C. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the older local malls in Singapore. Has a grocery in the basement and a decent home store on the second floor. If you’re living in the area a good place to pick things up.

  • 3/5 Hoch L. 3 years ago on Google

😠 Terrible carpark design. I have witnessed a hutch-back car shatter its back screen while reversing into the parking slot. The red metal frame is installed too low. The poor couple's outing was cut short by this incident.
