    Deli on the ground floor at Goodwood Park Hotel serves delicious and beautifully presented pastries, homemade cookies, pies and cakes. Perfect for the afternoon tea break, after your retail therapy. Stroll into the Deli and enjoy the fresh pastries and cakes with a cuppa Hot tea or coffee.

    Takeaways are also welcome and the familiar crowd would turn up just before 8pm, for a reason..... All cakes, pastries and practically everthing (execpt the Deli itself) goes for 50% off. So if you are going to take advantage of this offer, you need to be there well before 8pm. Make sure that you are at least 4th in the queue, otherwise the person in front of you might well have said "I will take everything"...and there goes your effort. Happily for me, being 4th in the queue, the 3 persons in front of me did not say that....so off I went with 3 bags of cakes and pastries at 1/2 price.

    Tucked in the remote part of Singapore, The Terrace is the ideal place for a quiet and indulging dinner. The buffet spread is generous, with international, seafood and BBQ buffet all to satisfy your hunger pangs. Alfresco sitting is available and if you go early, you might even be given the best seating available, just overlooking the sea front of Sentosa.

    But if you do not want to feed the mosquitos when night falls, then consider the indoor dining area. Quiet and cosy without the usual crowd that you will expect at any buffet dinner.

    Accessible by Sentosa Bus or private vehicle. The car park is just right next to the Resort, so no problems with parking.

    Dinner (6:30pm to 10pm)
    Weekdays (Mon to Thur) : $39+++
    Weekends (Fri to Sun, Public Holidays and Eve) : $49+++

    The Line Shop is the ideal place to enjoy an intimate conversation over a cuppa or for takeaways. They've got freshly-baked breads, pastries, cakes and pralines. Ambience is confortable and cosy.

    Best of all after 7pm, all cakes and pastries go for 50% less. Whole cakes at 15% less. Queue starts to form at about 6:50pm so be sure you are there early. At 7:05, there may be nothing left. So head your way there for great pastries at great prices!

    Situated in Joo Chiat, Chilli Padi has its own crowd of followers for Peranakan Food. The Ayam Bua Keluak and Babi Pong Teh are just fantastically homely. Just the right taste and aroma. With the gravy, you just seem to consume plate after plate of rice. Ambience is cosy and can be a bit brighter. Come early to avoid the dinner crowd.

    A walk back in time to see how the prisoners of war lived during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore in 1942-1945.

    Reminds you of the brevity of life and the folly of war, especially in the way humans treat one another; all because of the ambitions of a single person in power.

    If you would like a audio narration/ tour, the fee is S$8.00. You will receive a portable audio set to explain the exhibits as you go along.

    Sometimes it is good to reflect on what happened in the past so that you can appreciate the present better. Another sombre thought is that all the men and women who died in the war is now mostly forgotten by many of us today. The well preserved identity cards and letters they wrote makes it all seem like it just happened recently. And to think that it was close to 60 years ago that they faced the ordeal. Much reflection to be done here.

    Operation hours
    9:30am - 5:00pm daily; last admission at 4.30pm
    (Including Sundays and Public Holidays)

    Admission : Free

    Getting There

    1) By MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and Bus
    2) SBS Bus No. 2 from Tanah Merah MRT Station (EW4), or
    3) SBS Bus No. 29 from Tampines MRT Station (EW2)

    Alight at the bus stop at the Changi Museum (after Women's Prison / opposite Changi Heights condominium)

    Setup by a Taiwanese family, here is where you can get authentic Taiwanese food like the Taiwan Beef noodle and Chou Tofu (臭豆腐) - Smelly Bean Curd. However, we did not find the Chou Tofu smelly enough. It could have been more smelly!!! But anyway it was tasty. The fried pork chop rice is also a good try.

    Location : On Joo Chiat Road, the parking might present a problem. Can park at the huge car park about 10 min walk away. Do not ever try to park at the private car park just opposite the stall. Might just have to pay $100 to get the wheel clamp removed. Weekday crowd is not to huge so you can enjoy a relaxing meal there.

    There are some shops where you feel like you are invisible, it seems like no one notices your presence. At John 3:16, you know you exist! Getting the attention of the staff there is easy as just walking up to them with your enquiries, no matter how busy they are. They seem to be able to multi task well.

    Price wise, it is not the lowest around but at least they have stock. Been to a shop nearby and was quoted a hard to resist price, but they have no stock, so it was as good as that.

    Their sales staffs are also not intimidating. You can take your time to look around and decide on what suits you best. No worries if you do decide to think about it and come back again to make the purchase. They will be on hand to serve you. At least that was my experience.

    Their huge paper selection just makes you want to buy all the paper they have. With their wide selection of paper, you can really take a long time to decide which fits best to what you need. Your creative juices just keep flowing, and all of a sudden you have so many ideas with the different designs that you see. So I ended up buying more than I originally planned.

    Would certainly go back to get more paper for my backdrops and gifts packaging.

    If you like your prata crispy, this is the stall to check out. Their stall at Casuarina Rd has been there for ages! It is now renovated and more spacious. Do not expect a typical restaurant style setting. Really the main reason why we are there is not the ambience but the prata - nothing else matters. Also check out the pictures of famous celebs and even ministers who like prata!

    They do my fav paper prata and egg prata! It’s stretched into a long rectangular shape, almost A4 size. It’s paper-thin and crispy. Another fav dish is the chocolate prata! If you crave for chocolate on prata, just order it. Takes some time to get it prepared but it is worth the wait.

    They do some other interesting combinations like cheese prata, mushroom prata, pineapple/cheese prata (reminds me of Hawaiian Pizza) and chicken floss prata. Actually any combination of prata they have, except Durian prata! But will anyone eat that, I wonder?

    Service is prompt and attentive when you walk in; but make sure you order all at one go. After that it is a bit difficult to get their attention, say if you want another plate of prata, etc.
