I particularly enjoyed the main entrance building, especially the lounging area that boast a water feature like a shallow never ending pool and lounge chairs for you to order a cuppa of coffee to laze. Walk down to the park, you can see many local exotic plants that could are planted for food. There are themed vegetable patches that are adopted by farm enthusiast and I spotted lots of edible vegetables that I've never been able to recognise unless packed in Styrofoam plates and wrapped in film at the supermarket trays.
Its very educational and the place is very well maintained with lots of sitting and lazing areas as well as a large compound for those who like to grow, hand make or recycle plant based items. The park is big, airy and is mostly made up of exotic fruit trees, vegetables and herbs. There are also some very interesting sculptures places all over the park like scarecrows and huts covered with beans and peas. A couple of playgrounds allowing children to have fun and some nice grassy slopes for picnics.
The toilet is only available at the main building and have very few cubicles yet its kept pretty clean. Beware, do not just pluck and fruits or vegetables you see, you have to seek permission from the staffs at the main buildings and they will be happy to bring a snipper to give you some fruits. Plucking or trampling on these plants might kill it and spoil the fun for others who visit the park.

Attracted by the beautiful christmas tree and the equally pleasant window by the street shop front, we entered the small european feel wooden door just to be greeted by smiling staffs! We managed to grab the seat just by the window facing the small street outside and it totally felt like NottingHill. It was great to watch the diner and the club hoppers pace around while some settling down on the high table and chairs for a quick bite some beer with smiles plastered on their faces.
The choices on the menu was fabulous, they have a good variety of mains, sandwiches, finger food and everything in between, not to mention the slurpilicious concoction of dessert and fantasy drinks. We ended up with a slice of orea cheesecake which is rich and creamy and a superlicious mudpie which is like an ice-cream cake on brownie but think more chocolatie and messy.
A carafe of cranberry punch makes the calories go away, the place is clean, scenic (thats if you think street drunks are a scene) and extremely comfy cushy seats. You can get almost what young chaps like us love to eat and price is pretty affordable.

Its a pretty place, situated at the top level of the building. Its not as cold as most bowling alleys used to be. We have decided on the first two lanes to avoid being laughed at when our balls rolled backwards. These days the facilities are much more advanced. Instead of flipping the guiders up manually (for the children to avoid washing the drains), it is now automated and could easily be programmed for a certain player. The balls were pretty well managed, though still oily like before, but the lanes well oiled, maintained. Unlike some of the old bowls where the lanes are wooden, this one is a spanking polishing plastic lane.
I think not many noticed the bowling alley of this club is open to public, as such it is not crowded on a weekend afternoon. Well, if you have the NTUC card or Passion card, you get a discount also other than the public rate which is pretty nominal. The service at the payment counter was quick and at the shoe counter pretty friendly. The lady also offered us a ball for our little 8 year old with 5 holes for all five fingers!
Overall, this club is clean and facilities pretty well maintained. Its not new but its pretty okay for use. The animation on the score screen is also pleasant to look at. Food selections are few but you get some nice snacks and the toilets are clean and dry with paper.

The place is somewhat situated in the middle of nowhere but you if get to seat in the middle of restaurants, you get blasted by loads of conversational noise. Its pretty comfortable and the ambience is casual and relaxing. The menu serves up a good deal of whatever that is not healthy but yummy. They have mains, pastas, pizzas and also a good promotion of a set meal and 50% off the second meal ordered. So we proceeded to order and were advised to share as the portion is pretty good for a growing man, yet a little too much for the forever "too fat" ladies.
The set came with a hearty mushroom soup and a choice of a drink, The mushroom soup is extremely creamy and i love the bits of mushroom still slightly chewable. We had a fried mushrooms which was of a good value and a good portion. Healthy, cancer fighting and extremely yummy to share. Next up the seafood pizza which is thin crusted with a generous topping of the catch from the ocean. You have prawn, squid, fish and everything else fishy in a tomata based sauced generously cladded in cheese. The bratwurtz wrapped in honey roasted bacon is both savoury and unstoppably yummy. Well executed and I must say the mash was creamy and smooth.
Well desserts are to die for especially signature mudpies. We ended the night with our sweet tooth extended. The Baileys Me!
mudpie is a bailey's drizzled bailey flavoured cheese cake, ice creamy and superlicious.
The dinner ended expectedly good and we didn't order too much, we left still feeling the gym workout still a profit.

Yes, fruit juices are the most natural and slimming beverage and dessert you can have especially on a hot afternoon right after some filling lunch. I quote Jan "I always love a takeaway from Freshman because its so healthy, they don't add sugar and most importantly, it keeps my skin "Toink Toink"! "
And I observed, pretty true. The cut fruits i see on the display counter not only has variety and of a good portion, they looked fresh and I cannot find a reason not so because they are so fast selling. I mean check out the queue during meal hours. I love the concoction they have, some for beauty, some for relaxation, some for uplifting of your mood, destressing and a matter of fact, i think they have something for every psychiatric conditions a modern day bustling officelite would require.
The staff is friendly and we got our sexy drinks neatly sealed in a cup undiluted. Though the price could be a little high as expected, i mean it could go to as low as $2 for a cup or $4 on a high side. But do also check out the exotic fruits in your chosen concoction and you get the pure stuffs almost right from the fruit itself.
