6 Faraway Restaurants Worth the Journey
2012-11-02
You know what they say, the best things in life don’t come easy; and that’s exactly it for food. The best restaurants are really the ones that are tucked away in Singapore’s cosy corners. You either have to drive, cab, or sweat your way to get there on foot because there really is no other way! Here are some of Singapore’s faraway restaurants that are worth the journey:
Privé
@ 2 Keppel Bay Vista | Call 6776 0777


With its waterfront bar, café and a grill, Privé offers the best of all worlds. The award-winning multi-concept venue is located on Keppel Island, Singapore's only private island. No prizes for guessing why it made it to this list.

Must-try: New Zealand “Harmony” Beef Tartare ($30)
Best way to get there: By car or cab – turn into Keppel Bay Drive after HarbourFront Centre, before the condominium Caribbean at Keppel Bay
Flamingg Mangos
@ 50 Jalan Malu-Malu, Sembawang | Call 6257 4657


Flamingg Mangos is one of Sembawang’s real hidden gems. You wouldn’t believe how perfect a chill-out place it is until you try it for yourself. Enjoy Western favourites here, and have a drink or two to complete the experience.

Must-try: Top Shells ($9.90), Aglio with Prawns ($14.90)
Best way to get there: By car or cab – if you don’t drive you can always save on transportation costs and take the MRT to Sembawang and then cab from Sun Plaza instead (5-10 minute drive)
Cacio e Pepe
@ 3 Chu Lin Road, Bukit Batok | Call 6760 3534


Cacio e Pepe specialises in authentic Italian cuisine. Formerly situated at Rochdale Road (still an out-of-the-way location), the quaint eatery relies heavily on word-of-mouth to get their name out there – something pretty admirable in today’s culinary world.

Must-try: Thin Crust Squid Ink Seafood Pizza ($28)

Riders Café
@ 51 Fairways Drive, Bukit Timah | Call 6466 9819


Why is it called “Riders”? This charming eating-house is located at Bukit Timah Saddle Club – where all the horses and ponies are. Riders Café is an excellent place for Sunday brunch, and an extremely unique at that. Other than the zoo, where else can you go to enjoy good food in the company of adorable animals?
