Singapore Redux: Missing our Italian-Thai Restaurant at the Clubhouse

We enjoy eating out while we were in Singapore and quite the treat is dining at the neighborhood restaurant at the Chuan Park clubhouse. The Italian-Thai Restaurant at the clubhouse presents us with a very nice selection in their menu that has quite an interesting array of Italian and Asian (not just Thai!) favorites that's just right for our taste buds and definitely according to our typical budget. Aside from the pastas and pizzas, and the curry and basil dishes we enjoy, there are also fried rice, salads, sandwiches and desserts to choose from. It was a bonus for us to discover during our first days in Chuan Park last year that there were Filipinos among the staff and so it became easy for us to order whether we ate at the restaurant near the pool or ordered to eat at our home away from home.

Diners had a choice of eating inside (air-conditioned) or al fresco and by the poolside.

We usually order our favorite coconut water in the coconut. The drink is very refreshing and goes very well with Asian food and, surprisingly, Italian as well. I still remember the taste like and remarked to the Clairvoyant that it was different (actually better) than our own in the Philippines because the coconut trees from where they got these were younger. Many if not most trees in the Philippines are old and there's already a need to plant and grow coconuts to replace the old ones.

We definitely miss our dinners at the Italian Thai Restaurant at Chuan Park. We'll probably pass by again when in Singapore if only to chat with the staff, but of course to again enjoy their food. The restaurant is actually open to people not residing at the the residential enclave. In fact, they even deliver food in the area to people residing in the neighboring condominiums and houses. Unfortunately, they can't deliver long-distance to Manila. :)
