saw this cafe featured in a pets magazine and decided to check it out with my baby
anticipating for a real cool experience with maybe some food for the pets on the menu, id say im slightly disappointed. dont be mistaken, the bark cafe is referring to tree bark but not dogs barking :P which my friend was misled
they merely allow the presence of pets. i asked for water for my baby and they said they have no plates for it
food wise, my carbonara has a strong ginger taste, shrugs. and i had to wait pretty long for it, about 30mins? when there arent much people. but my friend's fried rice was good. average pricing of a main course is about $13-$18.
they have real nice gelato and brownie! four main course, two deserts and a jug of drink, cost us $120. id say its abit pricey.
ambience is good, but be prepared for some mosquito bites

Happened to chance upon the museum while I was driving around after taking a meal at Changi Village some time back. Was curious to see what was inside, so decided to park my car and took a walk inside. Though it was a Sunday, there weren't many people there.
As mentioned by spindoctor, if you want to have a guided tour, it will set you back by 8 bucks. So me decided to just take a look on my own instead. It was my first time stepping into the museum. And I was quite fascinated by the nature of the exhibits. This was attributed to the fact that most of them were the original documents, letters, newspaper articles, pictures,etc and all were preserved in their most complete form. Indeed, it was an eye-opener for me and you could actually read the words on those exhibits and take yourself back in time, and experiencing the emotions felt by the people during WWII.
The whole walk took me abt 45 minutes or so, but that was because I did not read each and every article in detail. If i did so, it would probably have taken more han one hour.
All in all, I would say that it was indeed an enriching experience and for those who have yet to visit this place, do go there on one of the weekends and revisit the memories of WWII.

I've been there twice on field trip during my BMT and when i was posted to my unit.Guess that's the favourite place the SAF like us to be at.I think it's particularly because it bring back the war memories and how the many individuals in Singapore impact the lives of others.Many sacrifices were made and you can even see the actual prison cell size in one of the exhibits.It's really impacts me everytime i'm there and i guess the later generations like us are fortunate not having to live thru all these sufferings.
Outside the museum there's a Bark cafe and I find the food there quite nice.So if u happen to go to the museum and looking for something to munch on you can just go to the Bark cafe or head down to Changi Village!

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.
