Dinner and Kids
The last public holiday for the next two months or so has just passed. Its going to be a while before we get another day off. The next one will be in August. That’s some way off. Everyone just hang in there. It’ll come soon enough.
Anyways went for dinner that day over at Sembawang Park. For those who don’t know …. Its somewhere in Sembawang.
There’s a place called Beau(something) House there. I think it used to be a mess or club house of some sorts. Anyways right now it’s a restaurant. The ambience is nice in that its on a small hill of sorts, overlooking the straits with a small jetty of sorts. The scene is even nicer at nights with the ships over at PSA all lighted up in yellow and the buildings across the waters alight.
That night was especially nice as the moon was full and there weren’t that many clouds. Thus you could see the stars too.
Anyway getting back to the restaurant, the prices are rather reasonable as are the servings. The waiter was nice enough to warn us that the medium serving of fried rice was rather large, and that a small one should be adequate. True enough it was suffice. But readers please note that I was not starving. Which I believe would have possibly dealt a different bearing.
The fried rice was supplemented with the small servings of Prawns in Cereal and Deer Meat cooked with onion and ginger. These were rather generous as well. The prawns were not small ones but large ones. The cereal was not soaking in oil and neither were the prawns. It came out nice and crispy.
The damage done was quite reasonable : $44 for 2 people.
However the ambience for that particular day was a bit off. The music the place was playing was soothing and old school. It’s the number of kids that were there that actually spoilt it. There were too many people picnicking or camping about with their barbeques. There was too much unnecessary noise. Well it was a public holiday.
Hopefully the next trip there will be more fulfilling.
