Poolside room
by TonyBagnall about Goodwood Park Hotel
The hotel itself is really nice though, big suite-type poolside room for same cost as a standard room in a 5*. Strangely all the rooms in the newer bit are on one floor, a bungalow hotel! The colonial front of the hotel is actually quite ugly and painted an unattractive grey colour. There are two pools, one for lengths and one for relaxing.
Very good buffet style breakfast with a large choice of western and asian options. Afternoon tea was very good, the smaller of the two pools pretty, the chinese restaurant was excellent.

Pepper Crabs (Buffet)
by Tawong
Hi All,
My cousin who will be visiting Singapore soon mentioned great pepper crabs served at a local hotel for their buffet lunch/dinner but unfortunately does not know the name of the hotel/restaurant? Does anyone know? Many thanks!

Your cousin is probably referring to the Goodwood Park Hotel. However pepper crabs there have seasonal availability. It's part of their marketing promotions. Sometimes it's that, sometimes something else.
However if you want to eat really good pepper crabs, East Coast Park Seafood Center is the best place to go. There are several restaurants all selling pepper crabs, chilli crabs, butter crabs... list goes on. All are great tasting and very competitively priced, will be value for money. Usually diners select the restaurant based on seat availability at that time of waiting as advance bookings on weekends and public holidays are extremely difficult due to the crowd.

Totally agree with vyxxyn. If you want the crabs prepared in all sort of manners, you really must go down to East Coast. My favourite black pepper crab is the one from the main Long Beach Seafood (http://www.longbeachseafood.com.sg) at 1018 East Coast Parkway. My favourite chilli crab is the one from Jumbo Seafood (http://www.jumboseafood.com.sg) at East Coast Seafood Centre.
There is also a Long Beach at East Coast Seafood Centre as well, but I find that it is not as good as the one at their main outlet.
Just my 2 cents.... :-)
