The Coastal Settlement

Brought Christian to check out the recently-opened Pasir Ris Swimming Complex on two Saturdays ago..he was a little scared of the water that would fall out of a big tub which tipped over every now and then, but was quite fearless when he saw me having fun on the adult water slides and wanted to go on the same. =7 We didn't spend too long there since all he wanted to do after a while was to hang out at the sides of the pool with mama and daddy..

He was really hungry after the swim though, and it was all i could do to pull him away from the MacDonald's outlet at the complex and convince him we were going for a yummy dinner elsewhere.
We abandoned thoughts of White Sands and the Pasir Ris park food outlets in favour of The Coastal Settlement at Netheravon Road.. So glad we went..the place was tucked away in what seemed like a half-forgotten area of Singapore. There were Vespas parked outside the single-storey restaurant, abandoned carousel horses and swings strewn in the greenery right in front of the place, and even some retired kiddy rides were left in the open.

The restaurant itself was an eclectic mix of curios, chandeliers and retro 60s memorabilia. Life felt perfect, as we lounged on the sofa seats listening to two old men on the guitars singing jazz classics, feasted on superbly done wagyu beef and fresh wild mushroom pizza, and looked out of the full-length windows into a picturesque eye-soothing green. We also enjoyed their great service and free valet parking..

 

  

It was too bad that we couldn't stay longer, cos i needed to rush home to put Calista to bed. But we've already made plans to go back for P's birthday, to try their desserts :)
