Pig-out in remote hide-outs!

True to Jon's words and much to the delight of the food-maniacs moi and ZH HHG, getting a driving licence means we are no longer restricted to venues close to the MRT lines nor to the midnight strike that even the proverbial Cinderella fears. Not that I got mine which would probably be next year, but it suffices if a good friend has one, and even more impressively, a car!

Last night's escapade to Robinson at Raffles City to grab the no-GST shopping opportunity, then to Chomp Chomp for some serious supper that really got me excited at the choice of food attests to one thing which I have always believed but never got the chance to experience that -- When you can atasly travel to far-flung places for supper in a car -
You have arrived! (or should I say Jon has arrived!)

Since I have NOT got my CYMA watch and any Car (only hybrid cars please), I can hardly claim to stake a Claim that I have those six (last time was five) Cs. But does going to China count?

And so as I was saying, going to remote places to Chill out seems to be an obsession of Singaporeans that Sunday Times (Life Jun 8, 2008) even had a page dedicated to name some of the hot chill-out (sorry for the oxymoron) places to visit. I decided to immortalise the places in my blog here:
In the North
(1) Beaulieu House
117 Beaulieu Road, tel: 6257-9234
Open: 11.30 am to 2.30 pm; 6 pm to 11 pm (Mon-Thur)
11.30 am to 2.30 pm, 6 pm to midnight (Fri & Sat)
10 am to 11 pm (Sun)
Getting there:
Drive (So excited at this word!!) to Sembawang Park and park at Carpark No. 1. Then walk about 100 m to the sea.
About the Restaurant:
This restaurant facing the Straits of Johor is housed in an 8000 sq ft pre-war building, which used to be home to the most enior British naval officer in Singapore, Vice-Admiral Geoffrey Layton, from 1940 to 1942).
The eatery serving Western and Chinese dishes, has been in existence since 1981 (Year I was born!). in 2004, owner Lim Hock Lye, 54, expanded its premises to include an alfresco area that is now a popular watering hole.

(2) Sunset Grill & Pub
140B Piccadilly Road, Seletar Airbase, tel: 6482-0244
Open: 4 pm to 11 pm daily except Tuesdays
Getting there:
From Piccadilly Road, turn into Lambeth Walk, Hampstead Gardens, Western Avenue, East Camp, then drive all the way to the Republic of Singapore Flying Club (Aiyoh, so convoluted!! but I like it this way!!)
About the Restaurant:
Set in the heart of the Seletar Airbase, it is perfect for plane spotters (though in my opinion, it is also perfect for couples, married or dating!! BL sis, please take note hor!)
Even the drive in is scenic: You pass a number of black-and-white colonial bungalows, and the whole journey is akin to travelling through a World War II move (Wah! For history buffs like moi, this is abs fantastic!). Anyway... to continue typing...
The grub is Western, or American, and the spicy buffalo wings are a must-try (my insufferable commentary again: buffalo got wings meh?!?)

Since I live in the North, I shall spare my fingers of typing out the remaining 12 places. BUT i am keeping the pages and you can also dial me to ask for the remaining places!
