"Cafe dining by the barrage"

If you happen to be at the marina barrage flying kites, you may want to visit this halal seafood restaurant. It is located at 8 Marina Garden Drive, Marina Barrage, #01-05.

I have been to this restaurant every time I come to the marina barrage. The food is good and the price is reasonable. Sometimes it can get crowded over the weekend, you may want to make a reservation before you head up to the roof top to fly kites.

I would go to the barrage at around 5.45pm when it was not too hot. I was here once and there was no a single kite in the sky as there was no wind at all. At 6pm, the timing is just right, the sun is setting and the wind is strong. In no time, your kite will be flying in the sky.

Coming back to the food, when the sun has set, it is time for dinner. Best to go there at 7.30pm (make sure you have your reservation done). We ordered chili crabs, squids, soup, prawns, tofu, rice and drinks.

The cost of the dinner for 3 adults and 1 kid is $90.

This vegetarian restaurant has been around for at least 7 years since I moved here. It started as a small stall but then it grew popular and now has its own restaurant. It is one of the shops under the HDB block at Blk 359 Bukit Batok St 31 #01-393. The nearest MRT station is Bukit Gombak. It is within walking distance, just follow the MRT track along the direction towards Chua Chu Kang. When you are closed to a pedestrian crossing (or a drain that has endless flow of water), you can cross the pedestrian crossing to the other side of the road. Walk up the stairs, turn left and after you reach a clinic, the restaurant is just a few steps away.

I like the vegetarian bee hoon which started selling in the morning. Sometimes, it is sold out before 11am. Occasionally, we have dinner here. They sell quite good dishes. Yesterday, I was here for dinner and below are the dishes that we ordered.

Famous dish - must try (fried mushrooms)

Seaweed soup

Vegetables

We ordered three bowls of rice, one homemade barley drink and one soft drink and the total bill was $29. It was for two adults and one kid.

Went back to eat at this restaurant one week later, ordered the lemon chicken and fried mushrooms again. We added another two dishes, mini steamboat and oyster eggs. The oysters are actually mushrooms. Of course, the real oyster omelette is much better and the chili sauce is much better too.

There is this Bai Nian Yong Tau Foo stall in Albert Centre Market and Food Centre. You cannot choose your Yong Tau Foo and come with bee hoon. I think addition of bee Hoon is free. When I feel liked going on a diet, I will come here to eat this. It is ok level but sometimes you have to be prepared to queue for a little while.
