On Saturday evening, the family drove to Yishun to the "Bottletree Park" (which is in a different location from "Bottletree Village- so please dont be as confused as me)
I thought it would be the same place, so I went to the village only to realise that the park is somewhere else. The village does not have anything there but a seafood restaurant. So, there's really no point going there. The problem was that the village was a drive away from the park. So because of that, after arriving at the wrong place, we decided to have dinner first before going to the park.
As usual, I would always research on the place I will be going so that I can search for good food around the area in the internet. So when I typed good food in Yishun, there were a few forum posts on this particular Thai Seafood Restaurant that is cheap and good. So we actually went down to check it out and I LOVED IT!
We had an early dinner at 6 pm and we ordered 4 dishes, even though there were only 3 of us. We had hong shao pork rib, seafood tofu, thai style fried fish as well as oyster sauce kailan.
The food was not only good, but cheap (as what the forum said)! They even sell a plate of veggies that costs $3. I ordered medium which costs only $6. And this thai style fried fish which I enjoyed it the most costs only $12!
The service was also very good. When we first sat down, they started bringing in the bowls, chopsticks and spoon...and they even provided a bowl and small spoon for Caleb even when we didnt request for it. Then just after we placed our ordered, the food actually arrived within 5 mins! Everything was very quick...and efficient!
Total price for our whole dinner, including drinks as well as rice...costs us only $33 bucks for 3 adults!
So for cheap and good cze char, do drop by at this place. Its at 701A Yishun Avenue 5, #01-02, Singapore, 761701. Some of the must tries are the pineapple fried rice which CT didnt care to order since it was pineapple- one of the taboo fruit to eat when one is pregnant. The other dish was the cereal prawns which costs only $15 for 12-15 prawns in it.
If you want to go, please be there very early or reserve a place as after our dinner, here was the crowd!
At the dinner table, we actually pretended to feed Caleb with nothing in his spoon. But the funny thing was that he ate from the spoon as if there really was food! Check it out!
After a very fulfilling dinner, we drove to the "Bottletree park" to walk around.
I love the park as there is a huge lake where kids can do water activities- swan riding as well as 'walking' on water!
But anyway, its called "bottletree park" because of this specially imported tree!
After visiting Yishun, I realised that it is a place for seafood as there a lot of seafood restaurants all over, even in this bottletree park.
Here's me and Caleb...
Its a nice scenic place with lots of things and activities for the kids.
As well as a nice chill out area of tired parents..haha.
Caleb had his share of fun playing in the playground as well as this swing!
We really had an enjoyable time in Yishun. It will definitely not be my last! Moreover, its only 15-20 mins drive from my place.

Hi Dawn,
We used to frequent the Thai restaurant too. We never fail to order 3 things : the fried fish, pineapple rice & Tom Yam Soup. The only dish that we switch ard is the vegs. =)
BTW, there's another restaurant (same owner i think, cos menu is exactly the same) at Sembawang Shopping ctr. Right now, the bldg is closed for revamp tho.
BTW, i had pineapples when i was preggy, my gynae says it's ok to eat, so i ate. hehe...
