TCS ~ The Coastal Settlement

Whether it’s vintage clothing, or retro home deco and restaurants, they seem to have made a huge comeback recently.

最近似乎很流行怀旧风，不管是衣服、家居还是餐馆都充满复古元素。

This is a newly opened restaurant located in the ulu Changi area. The building used to be a British Army camp.

找食趣要介绍的是一家刚刚开业不到一年的餐馆。这栋建筑物原本是废弃了的英军营地。听说业主花了大半年的时间修复，并改装成餐馆。

If you are driving, you can either park at the private carpark outside the restaurant or the public carpark at Turnhouse Road. Both are free parking.

驾车的朋友可以将车停在餐馆外的停车场或是距离不远的 Turnhouse Road 停车场。

Lots of greenery. Indeed a great way to enjoy food, nature and fresh air at the same time.

在绿意盎然的庭院里一边用餐，一边呼吸大自然的空气。

Old bicycle at the entrance.

门口处摆放了一部旧脚踏车。

Bar counter, with a mixture of modern and antique feel.

一进门，就会看到这个结合了复古与现代感的吧台。

Kampong corner.
非常富有殖民地时代的甘榜情调。

The restaurant is very large and spacious, maximum capacity can be up to 200 people.

餐馆面积很大，单单室内就可以容纳多达200人。

The furniture here is reminiscent of the British Colonial period.

英殖民时代的家具用品，充满了浓浓的怀旧风情。

Relive the old days with these nostalgic items: old record player, old records,

老唱机、老唱片、还有柜子上的洋瓷杯…餐馆的环境就像是要带着食客穿越时空回到70年代。

Old typewriter and telephones.

旧式打字机和电话，现在都不容易找到了。

Wooden window shutters on the ceiling.

木窗口倒挂在天花板上，很新奇吧。

Wooden chairs lining up near the ceiling and sofa skeleton frame hanging from the ceiling.

还有木椅子和沙发框架都为餐馆的天花板增色不少。

Appetizer: Wagyu Cubes – $22
Lightly seared wagyu cubes, with mushroom salsa, mesclun salad and japanese dressing.
The wagyu cubes are not too hard and taste good.

前菜: 香煎和牛粒 – $22
牛肉不会太硬，味道很不错。

The Coast Salad – $16
Fresh prawns, pork slices, mixed greens, red chillis, local herbs, chopped peanuts, with homemade Vietnamese dressing.
Tossing the salad inside the glass jar was fun.
The Vietnamese dressing adds a refreshing touch to the greens.

南洋风味鲜虾沙律 – $16
装在玻璃罐里，倒入酱汁，甩一甩，把沙律和酱汁搅拌后，就可以吃了。
蔬菜好爽口哦，配合餐馆特别调配的越南式酱汁(有鱼露、小葱头、小辣椒)，口感很清新，也富有南洋风味。

Mussel & Clam Soup – $18
Tomatos, fennels, white wine, lemon juice, lightly creamed seafood broth, and chargrilled toast.
JAF finds this a little bit salty, but other than that, the soup is flavourful and goes well with the crispy bread.

淡菜蚶肉汤 – $18
好浓郁的汤，有海鲜自然的鲜甜。虽然有一点点偏咸，但海鲜的精华都在汤里，配烤得又香又脆的面包，很够味。

Nasi Lemak – $16
Coconut rice, fried chicken, tiger prawns, sunny side up egg, fresh cucumber, ikan billis and sambal chilli.
The ikan billis here are big sized, and not forgetting the tiger prawns too! JAF likes the specially marinated chicken meat, a different taste from the normal chicken.

椰浆饭 – $16
一般的椰浆饭，只有鸡翅膀、小江鱼仔和荷包蛋。这里的江鱼仔就特别大，而且还有这么肥的老虎虾。
值得一提的是鸡翅膀，味道相当独特，看来是用了特别的材料来腌制。

Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza – $22
16th month old aged Prosciutto, baby tomatoes, arugula, mozzarella cheddar, shaved parmesan cheese.

火腿比萨 – $22
轻薄纤细的饼皮烘烤得好酥脆。

Truffle Mushroom Fettuccine – $21
Sauteed wild mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, with creamy truffle sauce, white wine reduction, shaved parmesan and fresh chives.
A vegetarian meal, the mushrooms are simply fabulous.

松露菌菇宽面 – $21
这一份意大利宽面，没有肉类，只用来自韩国的各种菌菇，淋上的松露油有如画龙点睛，让人一口接一口，完全停不下来。

Cheese Burger – $26
180g Wagyu beef patty, melted smoked cheddar cheese, sliced mushrooms, bacon strips, mesclun salad and fries.
This burger is humongous!!!

和牛芝士汉堡包 – $26
这简直就是汉堡包当中的巨无霸，有培根，又有牛肉。单单是和牛肉，就有三公分那么厚。
难得的是，那么厚的肉，却也煎得恰到好处。再配上洋葱、番茄等蔬菜，完全不觉得肥腻。

Gula Melaka Panna Cotta – $12
Vanilla panna cotta, red beans, green jelly, gula melaka.

意大利奶冻 – $12
主厨在这个意大利甜品里加入椰糖和红豆，变得富有南洋特色。

Sea salt caramel cheesecake
海盐焦糖芝士蛋糕

All in all, the food is not too bad, but it’s really all about the charming retro ambience which just put this place over the top.

总的来说，这里的食物还算不赖。不过，找食趣认为来这里主要还是为了感受怀旧气息和其所带来的“视觉享受”。
