Parkland Green is happening

[ Media Invite ]

You may be sipping your latte in aircon comfort, or enjoying a waffle with alfresco sea breeze. Every corner you turn, you either see Green land or Blue sky (or sea).

Now, try to imagine kids scooting around, throwing frisbee, flying kites and perhaps soccer in the 1ha open field.

Welcome to Parkland GREEN. We have already fallen in love with East Coast Park’s latest lifestyle corner. Lush Greenery is all around us.

Nparks normally invites us to new Parks and Gardens, but food tasting is something new.

As part of Npark’s bloggers food trail, we got to savour a new lifestyle experience with food from 8 F&B outlets and Tryouts from 2 sports shops. We even had a friendly Laser Tag session to burn off the calories.

Full Pint Brewery was not yet operational during our visit, and we did not mind, because we were already FULL after half of the F&B outlets!

Let us share our Gastronomical feast with you 🙂

Coffee Art from Atmosphere Bistro brightens our day instantly.

The aromatic coffee beans are working their charm. Hello Stitch, where is Lilo 🙂

Burgers and ribs. We found the ribs a bit tough.

Atmosphere’s Chocolate Lava Cake is our kids’ favourite.

Love Sandbank’s logo and concept, “Eat, Drink, Plunge”!

There will be a real 15m pool for customers to dip 🙂

Succulent baby back ribs, charcoal grilled cola marinated chicken wings and Sandbank’s signature Hawaiian pizza (slightly spicy but delicious)

Patro’s serve fusion North Indian and Mexican cuisine. You might notice a Sports theme for Parkland Green, with most F&B outlets showcasing Sports on their TV channel.

Chicken Fajitas and Kebab Tashtari, Daddy love the fragrant roasted Chicken Tikka.

Two sports shops Hvper Sport and Pro Cycle can be found at Parkland Green.

We love the try-outs concept. You can pick up skateboards, roller blades, and maybe even bikes to trial before purchase. Needless to say, the kids quickly turn these two Sports shops into their playground!

You might wish to consider Parkland Green as your pit-stop while cycling and scooting along East Coast Park. The interesting “Road Safety Park” is a mere 10 minutes walk away.

Weather is hot, we always enjoy Starbucks’s special cold brew. Toffee Nut Latte or Peppermint Mocha anyone?

Kids prefer chocolate chip peppermint cheesecake and Christmas Tree Danish 🙂

Saint Marc has a new “Bar & Bakery” at Parkland Green too, Choco Cro (chocolate croissant) fans rejoice!

We all love St Marc’s splendid spaghetti Carbonara. Slightly salty, and we could not stop after the first bite! We recommend you end your St Marc experience with Little Fuji (vanilla on croissant base).

Pick me up Cafe offering yogurt gelato. Indulge in healthy desserts 🙂

Brunch anyone? Smoked Salmon on miso waffles and their signature Manuka waffles (Chef Waffles).

A new concept, Killiney and Cheers are co-tenants. For those camping or enjoying a day out on the beach, Cheers will be convenient for basic necessities.

Killiney’s Mee Siam and Mee Rebus need no introduction. A pity we could not finish most of the food as this is our 7th and final Food outlet (phew!)

From the first F&B outlet, every parent kept hearing “Can we go Laser Tag now?”

In fact, Daddy was already 90% sold when the media invite listed “Laser Tag” in itinerary. Finally, kids got a chance to snipe their parents at Tag Team 🙂

Parkland Green’s address is 920 East Coast Parkway (Singapore 449875) (Area C). It is served by bus 401 during the weekends. There are ample parking lots for visitors at Parkland Green. Or you can choose to walk across from Marine Parade’s underpass.

Johor seafood : Gelang Patah

When our kids finish their plate of rice and ask for more, we know the food is good. Especially when we have delectable crabs and prawns on the table 🙂

Thanks to Cheekiemonkies’ recommendation, we pop over Gelang Patah’s Star Chef (星名厨) for our seafood fix during our last trip to Legoland.

This seafood and “zhi char (煮炒) street” is only 10min drive from Legoland. And many other seafood restaurants line the road.

Let us share some of our dinner 🙂

– Brocoli with garlic cubes (rated 3/5) – crunchy greens and fragrant garlic

– Instead of our regular cereal prawn, we went for restaurant’s recommendation, Salted Egg prawn 咸蛋虾 (rated 3.5/5). Might be too creamy for us, we got a bit overdosed on salted egg.

– 铁板豆腐 Hotplate Tofu is always popular with our kids (rated 3/5).

– We love 星名厨 boneless pork rib 排骨 (rated 4/5), sweet and succulent, very popular with kids and adults alike.

– coconut butter crab (rated 4.25/5) – sweet and filled with coconut fragrance. Not sure how you describe the taste, but the gravy is very appetising. Daddy and Mummy were busy peeling crab meat for the kids.

– Unfortunately, we miss their signature dish Dong Po meat (东坡肉)! Cheekiemonkies were raving over this yummy dish. Please call to check this dish’s availability before popping down.

Total damage. RM183, that is about SGD70. In Singapore, two crabs will easily cost $100 and above.

Besides 星名厨, we found 天来海鲜 (Tian Lai) and a few other restaurants packed with diners too. We recommend that you Google “Johorkaki Gelang Patah” for more delicious reviews (and other Johor seafood)
