We were taken aback at how slowly the Pasir Ris Park had evolved. It still looked the same as I last remember it many years ago and it definitely looked the same as I recalled it to be as a primary school kid 2 decades ago.
There used to be a restaurant called The Fisherman Village. I wonder how many of us still remember it? It's gone. Of course.
In it's place now are 3 very promising looking al fresco dining restaurants by the waters.
We decided to give Water Cross a try.
It was a warm evening. Nothing surprising given Singapore's weather. However, we decided not to plonk ourselves in the air-conditioned indoor but to rough it out in the open area with a better view. After all, we came all the way here not to be in an enclosed area. Enclosed dining is all over Singapore. But an alfresco dining with a fabulous view and no crowd rushing you to chomp your food down is hard to come by.
I didn't regret the decision made. The weather wasn't exactly unbearable and although there hardly was any seabreeze, it just gave me a very relaxing, enjoyable feeling anyway. Exactly what I needed on an overworked weekday.
We ordered a grilled seafood platter for 2 for $38.80. It came with a buttery dip that was pretty tasty. But a tad too much and it becomes a little too over-powering. The serving came with prawns, fish fillet, squid and mussels. On its own, the grilled seafood didnt taste very "wow". But with the buttery dip, it was actually pretty good.
All in all, I enjoyed my dinner and the away-from-city feeling. I am not too sure if I would return again in the near future tho'. This definitely has absolutely nothing to do with the food or the great view. It's just that Pasir Ris Park is simply too far for us.
