It's SingTime

East Coast Park – Seafood Center

This weekend we stayed in Singapore so it was very relaxing …no hurry, no stress. On Saturday we went to Tanjong Beach on Sentosa Island to catch a little bit of the nowadays very rare sun. It seems like the rainy season is back again…or at least the sunny season took a break…really hard to get a sunny day recently. So, since it was cloudy again, just a few of us used sunscreen … guess what? Right! All the others got heavily sun burnt… The equator sun, even if it is not there…it is still there, believe us, STRONG and DANGEROUS, even behind thick clouds
On Saturday night we checked out the “club momo” . The music was really fine R’n'B and HipHop style. Not to forget the very good live music in the small momo – live club.

Sunday: After two months, finally the time came to say goodbye to Christian, also known as JUAN. We decided to go to the Seafood Center at the East Coast Park to have the farewell dinner. After heavy discussion, we picked the No Signboard Seafood restaurant and it turned out to be an excellent choice! Although a little bit costlier than others, we highly recommend it! The food was DELICIOUS. We had an over 2 kg black pepper crab, 2 different kinds of prawns, vegetables and some spicy fried squid. The whole experience of eating seafood there is a MUST if you are in Singapore!

No Signboard Seafood, outlets at East Coast Park and Kallang Oasis. Known for its butter crabs.

East Coast Seafood Centre
The East Coast Park is a beach park located on the southeastern coast of Singapore. It was opened in the 1970s, when the government completed reclaiming land off the coast at Katong which extends from Changi to Tanjong Rhu.

The 185-hectare East Coast Park is the largest park in Singapore, and is built entirely on reclaimed land with a man-made beach. The beach is protected by breakwaters, with no other natural features. The park is easily accessible by East Coast Park Service Road with numerous exits along the East Coast Parkway. The place has ample parking space with many carparks near the park. The park is also accessible via public transport in the form of bus services, available on East Coast Park Service Road. Underpasses link the park to the nearby Marine Parade housing estate.

The park is a popular place for families and friends to relax and enjoy themselves. The park has barbecue pits, entertainment facilities, chalets, food and beverage, and amenities for sports activities. A cycling and rollerblading track runs along the perimeter of the park, which measures at least 20 km long.

East Coast Seafood Centre
The East Coast Seafood Centre was opened at the same time as the East Coast Park, with eight restaurants serving seafood. Its initial name was known as UDMC Seafood Centre, which was later changed in 2000 to its current name. Local favourites such as chilli crab, black pepper crab and mee goreng can be found there. In 2005, the Seafood Centre was upgraded to give it a modernised look, and better facilities. Many of the features were revamped, and a number of old tenants vacated for new tenants to take their place.[wikipedia.org]
