With upcoming developments including new retail and commercial spaces and the addition of an Integrated Transport Hub, this once-overlooked area has become a vibrant hotspot to watch. As more enhancements and developments unfold, it's evident that Beauty World is not only modernizing rapidly but also seamlessly connecting to meet every need.

The Beloved Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre:

First built in 1975, Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre is a beloved two-storey landmark that combines a vibrant hawker centre with a bustling wet market. The hawker centre is renowned for its variety of local delights, with notable stalls like its Penang Char Kway Teow, Satay Bee Hoon, Oyster Omelette, and Charcoal Grilled Chicken Wings. Downstairs, the wet market matches up to its selection of hawker food, offering a wide selection of fresh produce. Shoppers can find a wide array of poultry along with a range of fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, and even a pet fish shop. Conveniently accessible by bus and MRT, Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre is a favourite among local residents and visitors alike, providing everything from essential groceries to delicious, affordable meals.

In the third quarter of 2024, Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre will temporarily close to pave the way for a transformative 5-storey integrated development. This development will feature an expanded community club, upgraded market and food centre, an indoor sports hall, and other community amenities, serving as a prime destination for seamless living while creating a centralized hub for various needs. Stallholders will relocate to a temporary interim market and food centre conveniently situated opposite its current location, ensuring continued accessibility for all.

The Community’s Favourite Plaza:

Located not far from Beauty World MRT and easily accessible by many bus services, Bukit Timah Plaza is a favourite among the community. Famously known for housing the area’s most visited supermarket, Fairprice Finest serves as the go-to spot for weekly groceries. This small and humble mall is also home to many other big brands such as Popular Bookstore, Ya Kun Kaya Toast, Subway, Pet Lovers Centre, and DBS Bank, ensuring a variety of needs are catered to. Additionally, essential services like laundry and tuition centers are abundant, making the mall a convenient and seamless one-stop destination for the diverse needs of its nearby residents.

The Charm of Nostalgic Shops:

Beauty World Plaza, Beauty World Centre, and Bukit Timah Shopping Centre are among the oldest malls around Beauty World MRT. Despite their aged exterior, they maintain their appeal with a mix of nostalgic shops such as a 102-year-old woman’s shop, Lean Seng Lee Trading, and services including Anytime Fitness, Giant Supermarket, MacDonald’s, and maid agencies. Food options at Beauty World Centre range from the traditional fare of open-air hawker stalls on the top floor to the flavours of Korean cuisine, offering a diverse culinary experience for visitors to choose from apart from its range of shops and services. These mixed-service malls offer a unique blend of both nostalgia and convenience, retaining a timeless allure and offering a diverse array of amenities that cater to the needs and interests of those who visit.

New Retail Spaces and New Homes with Integrated Transport Hub:

Seemingly thriving with activity, Beauty World is poised to offer a wealth of new experiences. With the introduction of new residential developments like The Reserve Residences (2028) and The Linq (2025), alongside integrated retail spaces such as Bukit V, the area is set to become increasingly vibrant and modern. Both neighbouring residents and visitors can anticipate a diverse range of activities, culinary delights, and shopping experiences, further enriching Beauty World as a dynamic destination. With the forthcoming Integrated Transport Hub in 2028, seamless connectivity will be augmented, providing convenient access to various transportation options and enhancing overall neighborhood accessibility to all.
