The world is getting smaller everyday but a lifetime is not enough to explore it. My adventure starts in Singapore.

Bukit Timah
March 1, 2009 — Bukit Timah, Covo, Covo Bar, Covo Bistro, Greenwood, Greenwood Avenue, Julius Chen, Julu Chen
I have not explored Bukit Timah that much (only remember being in the area via bus en route another “random” bus journey destination) so when Julu suggested that we catch up over lunch there, it was quite easy to agree to it.
Bukit Timah means “tin-bearing hill” in Malay. Where is it?
Near the center of Singapore
We went to “Greenwood Avenue” which has at least eight (8) restaurants/bars.
We walked around the perimeter for a quick tour and I was convinced then that I will schedule a return trip when I have the opportunity (must have a very vibrant atmosphere in the evening).
Julu had previously tried Covo Bistro and wanted to me to taste its tapas and fish main course so he brought me there. I told him that it kinda felt like a resto I would typically see overseas (i.e. Australia). The only difference is that I could easily find my way back since we are in Singapore. :p

Cold platter
Main course: Pan seared cod fillet with wasabi cappuccino sauce and spring vegetables
Overall, awesome lunch in a place with excellent customer service.
Also superb afternoon chat with one of my good local friends.
Thanks Julu for being a fantastic local host!
(Update April 2010 : Covo Bistro & Lounge is no longer in operation)

Hi Julu,
Didn’t realise it has closed down already. Thanks for the info (have updated this entry saying that).
It was great fun checking out that place though. That was my first and last time in Greenwood Avenue I think.
