Pulau Ubin Trip

At the north eastern side of Singapore, there is a an island called Pulau Ubin. Pulau Ubin is popular for Chek Jawa, a coral reef 5,000 years ago. It is also an unspoilt island which offers one of the best cycling tracks around the island immerse with the nature beauty.








Many people went to Pulau Ubin for the seafood too. The restaurant serves fresh seafood. Large containers and fish tanks of live stocks can be seen at the restaurant. After a long day of cycling, my friends and I settled at the restaurant for a late lunch. The restaurant was crowded and service was very slow. We waited like 30-45mins for our food. Food was decent but definitely had the home cooked flavour.

Hot Tomato Cafe & Grill @ Serangoon NEX

Hot Tomato has opened another outlet at Nex shopping mall. This is the group's fourth outlet. Currently the Hot Tomato Group offers 3 different dining concepts under its establishment.

Hot Tomato Coffeehouse was established in Jan 2006 at Republic Plaza. Due to its overwhelming success, other outlets are launched, namely Hot Tomato Express, established in June 2007 at Plaza Singapura, and Hot Tomato Café and Grill, in late 2009 at 313 Somerset [source Hot Tomato website]


I ordered the grilled seafood set which came with a soup and drink. The Aglio Olio was pretty good, a nice chewy texture topped with spiciness. For sharing, we have the calamari which was crispy and firm. Overall it was a delightful dining experience.
