Buona Vista food places near to the MRT
While The Star Vista might be the only place that pops up in your mind when “Buona Vista food” is mentioned, it’s not the only spot you can get food at when you’re in the area. The food scene in the area is more vibrant than what people give it credit for, so we’ve gathered 10 Buona Vista food spots to prove it.
1. 6ixs Rosti
At 6ixs Rosti, $10 will get you a thick cake of rosti and a protein on the side. While the Ghim Moh hawker stall is a 10-minute walk from Buona Vista MRT Station, their swiss potato fritters are said to be worth every bite, especially the Classic Rosti with Chicken Chop ($9). This sees the crusty cake of Russet potatoes paired with a moreish boneless chicken leg, well-seasoned with a strong taste of thyme.
Cheese lovers can go for the Cheesy Rosti ($7), served on a plate with coleslaw and a dollop of homemade sour cream. It’s also topped with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
Address: 25 Ghim Moh Link, Singapore 270025
