On a recent trip to East Coast Park, I was pleasantly surprised by a fabulous dinner of succulent beef and lamb at Sunset Bay Garden Beach Bar & Restaurant.

Thanks to Forrest Gump, I know that life can be likened to a box of chocolates. And as I stepped into the tastefully decorated classical interior of Chinese Box, I wondered what metaphor I could use to describe the food I was about to eat. I was treated to some of the restaurant’s signature dishes. Here are my thoughts relating to each one of them.

East Coast Park is a lively place, brimming with outdoor-loving teenagers and fun fads. We check out the latest happenings at the park, and spot some cool leisure sport trends in the making.

When I first learnt of the new Dairy Farm Nature Park, I had been expecting a small neighbourhood park with an exercise corner. After all, as a former resident of Bukit Panjang, I was familiar enough...

Changi Beach Park is, admittedly, much quieter than the comparatively hip and happening East Coast Park. But it is this quality that lends Bistro @ Changi much of its charm. Few restaurants in Singapore can offer beachfront dining in such a tranquil setting, and with an extensive menu that ranges from light bites to charcoal grilled surf-and-turf.
