Biscuit King @ Casuarina Road

Stepping into Biscuit King is like walking back into history with a display of traditional biscuit tins on one side of the wall. On the other side is more modern packaging in plastic tubs. The shop itself is like a little museum where you can find a lot of traditional biscuits as well as childhood toys and candies.



There are almost a hundred types of biscuit varieties available at Biscuit Kings. I can't resist buying some of the childhood treats after browsing through all the different biscuits available at Biscuit King. I bought Chocolate Wafer, Ais Gem and Sesame Biscuit.

Colbar @ Wessex Estate

Wessex Estate is a very ulu place to go unless one drives. Now with the opening of the circle line, getting to Wessex Estate is easier now. It is a good place to get away from the busy urban life amidst in colonial buildings and greenery.

Colbar which was an army canteen during the British Colony days. The rustic design and decor have not changed over the years.



Colbar has an extensive menu of Asian and Western fare. It also has a good selection of imported beers. As I was not too hungry, I had the breakfast set from their all day breakfast menu. The food was slightly above average only. However it is a bit pricey for a nostalgia eatery.
