Pulau Ubin Restaurants

We had our lunch at this restaurant during our recent visit. We ordered only hor fun and fried rice which cost $4 each. Food is so so.. nothing much to comment about. This restaurant also serves seafood and other interesting local specialities including wild boar. Facing the restauraut is the wayang (Chinese opera) stage.

Pulau Ubin is famous for its fresh and delicious seafood.

We ordered pepper Crab $28, Sambal Sotong $12, Beancurd $10, Stir Fry Venison $10.

There are a few restaurants over there so we went for the most crowded one.

There is only one main village on the island of Pulau Ubin, and this is the only place to get something to eat.

However, a few private homes outside of the main village have signs out the front advertising cold drinks for sale to visitors.

I stopped off at one such home and purchased a can of ice-tea (served straight out of an ice bucket) for just S$1.

Further down into Ubin Town near the Wayang Stage, you can get fresh coconuts.

Perfect thirst quencher after a day out on Ubin.

Dont bother picking up those coconuts that fell from the tree and onto the road;p

beside traditional nasi lemak and several kind of eateries, try these chinese seafood. from steamed fish, musells to prawn and crabs. so yummy in the hot atmosphere of pulau ubin.

Favorite Dish: black pepper crabs served with steamed rice and ice lemon tea.

the best way to explore pulau ubin is by cycling. and in the hot but windy condition i need great thirst quencher and my choice goes to coconut. both local or thai coconut. only S$2 for local and $S1.5 for thai's. great and no syrup added, just ask more ice cube :D

Favorite Dish: hmmm, nasi [steamed rice] cooking in coconut milk and served hot with fried anchovy, peanuts, boiled egg and cucumber plus chili belacan sauce = very delicious. and to be eaten in outdoor lounge nearby the beach is very nice!!!

Contrary to belief, the best place to eat Chinese seafood in Singapore is not at the UDMC centre at East Coast but by a little coastal village in Pulau Ubin. Picture yourself sitting by a makeshift table under a tree, sipping on coconut juice and feeling the seabreeze running thru' your hair. On top of that, you'll get to enjoy fresh sea critters at rustic prices.

Favorite Dish: There's lots of seafood joints near the jetty so head for the one joint that is situated just by the waters . For about US$24 in total, hubby and I had a huge and scrumptious seafood dinner...

1) Succulent big prawns, steamed whole, whiskers and all, in ginger and their juices.

2) Crabs, fried with spicy black pepper sauce and spring onions. This was particularly gd as the crab flesh was firm to the taste.

3) Tofu Seafood Soup.

4) Thai coconut juice in their shells with plump, juicy white flesh. The coconuts here are way better than the ones found on the mainland. A lot cheaper too. One coconut cost about US$0.90 on average.

Pretty good, considering, that the portions were huge. A similar meal on the mainland would have cost us at least US$36 or so.
