The Wheelhouse (The Tanglin Club)

The wheelhouse serves the bestest fish and chips i've ever eaten. The Fish is huge and fried with a good batter. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and not oily, served with a generous side salad and lots of pipping hot fries and good size of tartar sauce.

If you happen to be there, also a must try is the thai fried fish.. The serving is sooo huge and good for two. The meaty fish is fried till its sooo crispy that you could laterally eat all its fins and bones. Paired with a tasty sauce and some rice as well as the famous thai mango salad... its simply delicious carp.....

If fried food is not your kind of food, you may also go for the local delicacies like Hor Fun or Fried Noodles, Fried Rice, etc.. The other die die must try is the Lamp Stew.. Succulant lamb braised in a thick savoury stew eaten with some bread and a little bit of potato mash.. The lamp simply melts in your mouth and the stew leaves a sweet aftertaste and does not have the muttony taste at all. I love the vegetables like potato, carrots, turnip cooked in the stew best.. It fully absorbs the yumminess of the stew and is soft and creamy when chewed on.

I also love the butter / garlic naan , chicken curry, beef curry and mutton curry.. Its nice... and a type of comfort food for me. The indian spices are generous and very tasty... However, go with some water instead of sweet juices or wine or pair it with some yoghurt.. That is how i think goes well with a good naan and curry dishes.

After Dinner, have a good glass of wine or beer and start having their wonderful desserts. Choose from a light slice of strawberry short cake or tiramisu or even local desserts such as the chendol and the oh sooo funky bobo cha cha! The Old School Sago with gula melaka and coconut cream is simply DIVINE!!! A really old school dessert and their serving portion is sooo good.. I love the chewy sago and the Carmella taste of the gula melaka topped with creamy coconut milk....

If desserts are too heavy, opt for a good scoop of movenpick ice-cream, smooth, simple and calorie mindful. The Wheelhouse also serve a good variety of buffet, international choices of food, eat till you drop with a salad bar, juices and ice-cream.

Set by the swimming pool, a level below the lobby, the wheelhouse also serves snacks and smoothies for the good afternoon after swim recharge.. I'm most amused by the waiter.. which still wears a BOWTIE... and I find that really cute.. Its more of a homely, easy going setting.. Expect service with a smile and expect local style serving attitude.. It somehow feels extremely singaporean dining in this place. I love the ambiance, the food, the friendliness and the price is reasonable.

Great place to dine out at however you really need to be brought in by a member... Or be a member today!
