Pasta a la plage


Last night, Cheryl and I, accompanied by another couple from France and their 8 months old baby, went for the last time on a ‘date-just-the two-of-us’

One of the places I really like here in Singapore is an Italian restaurant right on the beach at the East Coast. Unlike many other countries in Asia where you find many sea or river side restaurants - decorated with Christmas lights (all year round!) to create this special atmosphere - Singapore offers very little of this real outdoor eating experience. Hence, this place is usually frequented by expats or locals with a ‘savoir-vivre’. Admittedly, the food is not that gourmet, but portions are big and your bare feet can sit in the beach sand (wherever that sand came from?) and usually there is a cool breeze in the evening to comfort you.

Though we only had one main course and a dessert, it was close to mid night when we left the beach…time flies when you are having fun!

Ironically, the place is up for tender. Singapore knowing, by the end of this month it will go for some upgraded project with junk food and less atmosphere… Then again, my French friends are on their way out to move to New Zealand.



Pasta Fresca …

we hope you will find another beach spot in Singapore soon!

Then I can enjoy my pasta while my kid(s) will enjoy building sand castles..
