The ultimate guide to Pasir Ris

If exploring Pasir Ris Park got you working up an appetite, take a break at Rasa Istimewa Restaurant, located within the park itself. This Halal restaurant prides itself for its mouth-watering local dishes including chilli crab, nonya curry fish head, and barbecue seafood at reasonable prices. It also features an indoor and outdoor dining area, so that you can savour the flavour while soaking up nature's beauty. Unlike its sister restaurants, it also has a café with the latest magazines, charging points for your mobile devices, and free Wi-Fi, so that you can dine with a peace of mind.

Managed by NTUC Foodfare, this hawker centre is designed to bring the next generation of hawkers, or hawkerpreneurs, together under one roof. It's home to 42 stalls, so expect a good mix of traditional street food and modern, fusion fare. On the first floor, you'll find the usual suspects – from ayam penyet and Hokkien mee to bak chor mee and fish soup. Upstairs, you'll discover innovative plates and Instagram-worthy nosh like Thai boat noodles, Cajun seafood boils and healthy grain bowls – hardly the hawker staples we’re accustomed to.

Follow the aroma of freshly brewed coffee to this cosy little cottage located in the corner of White Sands Mall. Have your fill of New Zealand-style crispy pastries that are freshly baked in-house. Take your pick from the savoury chicken and beef pies to the sweet chocolate banana pies, and pair it up with a warm cuppa. If you've got a sweet tooth, the café also does mini roll cakes with fresh vanilla cream and chocolate eclairs.

Nothing beats chilling at this 'friendly neighbourhood bar' by Pasir Ris beach. Booze-wise, it has everything including blended Scotch whiskey, single malt whiskey, wine, bourbon, gin, tequila, rum, and vodka sitting on its shelves. Otherwise, couple your ice-cold beers with Western grill faves such as the signature Georges burger, beer-battered fish and chips, and barbecue chicken. Enjoy it all with the cool sea breeze, occasional live band or sports screenings, and if you're feeling a lil' competitive, hit up a friendly game of pool with your buddies after a meal.
