Things We Ate At NTU 😋

Ranking what we ate on our visit to NTU!

☕️ Kaya Toast Set & Coffee

📍 Blue Ocean Kopi & Toast, North Spine

Toast and coffee were good, but the egg yolks were chalky and not runny enough 🥲

Rating: 2/5 ⭐️

🥘 Chicken Tikka Masala & Young Mutton Biryani

📍 Bismillah Biryani, North Spine

A little steep on the price point but tasted pretty solid. Mutton was tender and rice was fragrant. Naan was way too greasy though.

Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️

🍲 Xiang La Mala Mix

📍 Da Lu Tong, North Spine Koufu

Something different from the usual mala that we always get! We went for full vegetarian ingredients and the sour and spicy flavour hit our tongues! 😛

Rating: 4.2/5 ⭐️

🥤 Venture Drive Coffee

📍 Gaia

Local coffee shop started up by NTU Business School alumni! Loved the roast 😍 #supportlocal

Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

Where should we eat next? Drop your suggestions below! 😍

2025/4/30 Edited to

During my visit to NTU's vibrant dining scene, I tried a variety of popular spots beyond those detailed. For instance, many students rave about Lan Lamian’s hand-pulled noodles nearby—it’s a must for noodle lovers craving authentic Asian flavors. Yilin Likes Tea is another hotspot, offering refreshing beverages perfect for a break between classes. I also noticed Pasta Express, which serves a surprisingly solid range of Italian-inspired dishes, providing comforting western bites amidst the diverse options. Having experienced these places myself, I would highly recommend exploring North Spine Koufu’s full range, as it boasts numerous stalls each with specialties worth trying. Koufu is a convenient chain for quick meals but don’t miss hidden gems like Da Lu Tong’s vegetarian mala that offers a great sour and spicy twist. It’s great to balance your palate with drinks like the Calamansi with Sour Plum from Venture Drive Coffee, started by an NTU Business School alum—supporting local businesses adds a meaningful dimension to the dining experience. If you’re into breakfast or brunch, Let’s Toast NTU also offers unique combinations that are worth a try, offering variety in toast and coffee selections to start your day right. North Spine is truly a food lover’s haven, and based on my explorations, I'm always excited to discover new stalls and menu specials. Feel free to share your top NTU food finds or ask for recommendations—there’s plenty more to uncover!
