The Coastal Settlement - Fusion food with an English taste. Surrounded by the serene, greenery environment which adds a scene of beauty to the warm sunlight at noon.
The old english Black and white building that houses this vintage restaurant at Changi @ 200 Netheravon Road just opposite the old Changi hospital.
The vintage setup would be one of the attractions that arose your curiosity before the food are being served. From broken old plates, cash register to tables and chairs used in the restaurant made the overall experience even better. The menu has a wide spread of choices that you could hardly make up your mind on which to order. Ranging from western food to local delights and modern desserts of Lava Cakes makes you salivary.
Wifey ordered a prawn alio olio, wild mushrooms soup, curry chicken with rice and ending with Lava cake for the dessert.
Mushrooms soup served in a metal tin and 3 slices of French loaf started the session. The mushroom fragrance is very nice and chunks of mushrooms would fill your tastebud while you sink your teeth into the savoury soup. It's a little salty to me but dipping the bread into the soup would served really well. Sad to say that we found a long hair in the soup which the waiter promptly exchanged a new bowl for us, other then that everything is good.
The prawn alio olio is a different experience from the norm that we usually eat. TCS had added a fusion taste to it with a mix of nyonya to the cooking. The chilli shrimp paste was used to bring the aglio olio to the next level where the East meets the West. Well combination of both with savoury taste.
Slow cooked curry chicken with jasmine rice is another decent choice to have. The aromatic fragrance of coconut milk and strong lemon grass smell further enhance the curry dish. Light smell of dried shrimps lingering around your tastebud makes you wanting more of the gravy. Chicken meat is soft and immersed with curry spice and lemon grass smell which could be better If the spiciness could be stronger.
Their service are great and friendly yet fast serving. Attention from the staffs are not overlooked despite only about 5 of them over looking the 70 seaters restaurant.
Dessert came with nice plating and decent portion. The sourish berries when coupled with the sweet chocolate lava balanced out well. It's sweet enough to brighten up your day which keeps you happy. The lava cake was warm and the scoop of icecream makes a good combination when warm and cold meets while the twist and turns in your mouth. If more time is given for the cake to be heated, the lava flowing would be of a greater impact on visuals.
Nice place for chill out at noon with a beautiful natural greenery painting from The Lord.
