1) Fika

I forgot how my sister and I ended at this place for lunch. I think she saw it when she was with her friends for a drink somewhere in the area.

Haven’t tried a Swedish resto in recent memory (does IKEA count?)  so it truly fit into the plan of exploring Singapore on weekends.

Food was ok but don’t think I will be taking a return trip anytime soon except to try their other desserts (see photos of what we tried below)

2) Azzura Beach Bar

This place promotes itself as a venue for hydrosports activities, sumptuous bistro, Singapore first coffee cocktail bar, state of the art entertainment club (based on the Sentosa ad). The club wasn’t operational yet when I visited in mid October. Some of the hydrosports activities offered : banana boat, flying fish, kayak.

Rich (Herrera), one of my friends from Manila, visited Singapore for a work-related activity and recommend that we catch up here for drinks. Some of his local friends also joined in the afternoon.

Place is cool, better than Cafe del Mar (in my view). Only problem is that I really don’t want to get a one or two skin tones darker and I don’t swim.

Anyway, that doesn’t take away the fun if I just wish to go for a drink or too on a lazy Sunday afternoon in south Singapore!

Azzura is located along Siloso Beach, Sentosa island

3) Bonifacio

A colleague recommended this resto so tried it for Sunday lunch.

Finally, a place that offers great Philippine cuisine at a reasonable cost. Tried the sisig, Bicol express, lechon kawali and a few other desserts. Could barely walk after having a satisfying meal.

Hope you can try it especially if you are near the Outram/Chinatown area.

4) Riders Cafe

This resto has a Project Shop (PS) Cafe feel. Had afternoon tea (scones only, not the towering high tea tray haha). I think this place is better during brunch than afternoon especially as the area could get quite humid.

Quite interesting to see horses graze around the field.

If you are in the Bukit Timah area and have time to explore, try this cafe.

Two restaurants and one cafe inside the Marina at Keppel Bay club

Rather own a yacht than a car; on 2nd thought, rather own both!
