The Coastal Settlement
I have been to a few cafés with a vintage setup but this beats them all with their variety of display. It's not difficult to feel like I might be in a Singapore museum.
The stuff in there were really old school, from the rattan chairs to the many Vespa on display. With the chandeliers hanging along the bar, there's a sense of eclectic chic. Also, as the cafe was tucked amongst greenery, the ambience is also rather unique : vintage meets nature.
Their drinks menu also features local Food and Drinks (think Bandung, Milo dinosaur, lemon barley, nasi lemak) favourites on top of the usual western fare. However, do note that the price tag are going to be quite hefty for such local delights. For instance, I had a mixed fruit juice and it costs $12. Da had a milo milk shake and it costs around $6.
We didn't have much food except fried luncheon meat fingers and that was very addictive indeed.
Overall, it's a great chill out place that's good if you want to get out of the city and you don't mind paying city/hotel prices for the food. The interior design's really awesome. But given that it's tucked away very far out there in the Changi area .. I don't think I will be coming back unless I happen to be in the area.
Overall, 4 stars for design and whatever limited food & drinks we have tried but 3 stars for value. Still worth at least one visit I think.
