The entirely alfresco restaurant serves coffeehouse-type fare, so you get a hodgepodge of local classics like nasi goreng and seafood hor fan, as well as western mainstays like beef stew and cheeseburgers. The food was ok, but if I had to take into account the 40-minute drive in heavy traffic from town, I wouldn't go to The Bark Cafe. That said, this would make a worthwhile visit IF you're already in the area and looking for sustenance in a chilled-out spot with lots of quiet and charm.
We had:
1) Tangy Calamari Rings ($9.90): thinly battered and deep-fried to a delectable crisp, but what impressed me was that the squid encased within was perfectly cooked.
2) Sweet Potato Sticks ($13.90): balanced out by the salty creaminess of the Parmesan mayo dip.
3) Bark Cafe Famous Chicken Wing ($15.90 for 6 pcs): they really shouldn't have slapped a superlative such as this, because it set expectations too lofty to meet. The prawn paste-accented wings were nice, but vapid, and so, failed to leave an impression. I've had better for less.
4) Smoky Black Pepper Duck Breast ($18.90): surprising refined. I wouldn't have expected a casual place like this to serve this typically highbrow dish, or to do it this well. Sparkling fresh meat, with nary a hint of game, was slow-roasted to luscious perfection. This was sided by wafu-dressed mesclun greens, and mashed potatoes.
5) Fish & Chips ($18.90): decent, but the deep-fried Pacific dory fillet was a dime a dozen.
6) Grilled Guinness Balsamic Chicken ($19.90) marinated in Cajun herbs, sided by steamed root vegetables, mashed potatoes, and slathered in a Guinness beer gravy: nice enough, but it reminded me of those hawker centre western food stall productions.
7) Chicago Roasted Tenderloin ($29.90): even though cheap, this was lackluster. The beef was gamey, so no amount of roasting finesse could save it.

This is a place definitely worth it to visit even though it may be a challenge for many to find the venue. But any place that serves good food is worth that occasional taxi trip I guess.

An open concept dining place, don't expect to have the air-con treatment but with the multiple huge fans all around, you will not feel the heat.

The place is big enough for parties up the size of 150, so I would recommend families who are planning a small party and would like to have a huge space to move around, there is even a stage with sound system available. Just check with the manager.

Food wise, we ordered a simple salad which tastes superb on its own. My personal recommendation would be the Tau Hu Goreng and Sliced Beef. It's definitely the top pick of the cafe.

Or if you are not that hungry, then order the equally nice chicken wings and just relax for the afternoon with a cup of tea or coffee.

Besides the cafe is a museum that exhibits some prison artifacts and information. Would be a great chance to just pop by and learn a bit more.

I ordered oven-baked pesto chicken as my main course, which is also a dish with the "must try" icon on the menu. However, the lack of pesto taste left me disappointed when the dish arrived. Definately not a must try as compared to the starters that i have had.

We came to the counter stand where it showed "Please Wait to be Seated" and started browsing through its menu which was placed on the stand. After flipping repeatedly through the menu, there was still no one attending to us, we decided to walked into the cafe ourselves.

As we walked into the cafe, the servers then noticed us and gave us a warm welcome with a free selection of seatings. We had the same magazine looking menu on our tables.

Ordered a jug of cranberry juice instead of having each a cup as we find it more economical to share this way. Servers are rather prompt in refilling our cups with the jar from time to time.
Cost: S$12.00 / Jug or S$4.50 / Glass

Crayfish Hor Fun's portion is just good enough for two. This wok-fried Kway Teow was fried to a perfection where you can actually taste the charred in them, accompanied with daily sea catch crayfish & seafood covered with its superior egg sauce essence. Dont miss this out!

Seafood like the "Sotong" (Squid) is delicately cute to a pleasing appearance, a bite of it simple discloses its chewy and Q tasting feeling.

Many of the hawker who prepared the the Hor Fun nowadays had actually forgotten that this is the most important area that makes a plate of Hor Fun Stands up but the bark cafe did it! Enjoy the charred smell of every mouthful of Hor Fun Tossed in the great tasting egg sauce essence. Yums!

Bark's Cafe Speciality Chicken is also voted one of the must tries dishes. Similar to our local "Har Cheong Kai" (Prawn Paste Chicken), it goes best even without any sauce. Be prepared to move your 10 fingers as they are pipping hot and finger licking good!
Cost: 3 Pieces - S$8.90
6 Pieces - S$15.90

Overall, their service is good and they will come changing our dirty plates in exchange for a new one. I will recommend this place especially you just want to laid back and have a relaxing weekend meal.

Recommendations
(1) For those who are mosquito-proned like me, equipped yourself with some mosquito repellent before dining.
(2) Located beside the Changi Chapel & Museum, the carparks lots are rather limited, be early to avoid disappointment.
(3) A very good place to throw your events.

I ordered the red plum soda ($4.50) and hubby ordered a glass of Kilkenny beer ($10)

We ordered 6 pieces of Chicken Wings! Very crispy on the outside and the meat was tender. Tasted like our chinese deep-fried shrimp paste chicken. You can find these almost on every table.

I like the ambience, very cosy. From where I was seated, I could also watched the movie "Evan Almighty" on Channel 5 as I was having my meal.
The total cost for 2 was $62.70 which was a bit steep. If not, we could consider coming here more often.

Overall
The Bark Cafe impresses me with its tranquil dining experience and its outstanding crayfish hor fun. If you are looking for a romantic place for dinner away from the hustle of the city, I strongly recommend the Bark Cafe.

We had:
1) The infamous fried chicken wings: good fleshy ones with har cheong (shrimp paste) seasoning (i suspect!). They were crispy and yummy to the last bite!
2) Sambal prawns: too salty even for someone like me who likes salty food. 1 each is enough as it is rather yummy.
3) Prawn and mussel aglio olio: generous serving of seafood but the spag was undercooked.
4) Crayfish horfun: much raved about online but it tasted normal but at 4 times a hawker price.
5) Beef stew: too tough.
6) Tiramisu and Brownie: probably the most satisfying dishes of all (besides the chic wings of cos). They comes with a yummy scoop of choc chip ice cream too!

Overall, the ambience and setting was alright. The place is non air-conditioned but the natural air is just nice for comfort, considering that we had chilled out for a good 2.5hrs there!

If you've ever going to Bark Cafe, make sure you order the chicken wings!! yums~

Overall, the food was not bad.
