Beach Culture @ Watercross

A big thinks to the teacher for organising this wonderful gathering in Beach Culture @ Watercross in Pasir Ris. How long has it been since we the bunch of us from 4L last met? Probably not long ago when the teacher is holding her wedding ceremony. =) I am really glad that after 9 years, there is still a strong bond staying within the core group of our class and we still frequently meet up and update each other. Hopefully, this bond and class spirit will continue for the many years to come.

Beach Culture @ Watercross.Add Image The whole shop is separated into 2 sections - an indoor air-conditioned room which has a nice ambient setting completed with soft lighting and an open air dining should you want to experience some refreshing sea-breeze and relax your evening away. The only complain I had with the shop setup was the rather old and dull ceiling in the air-conditioned room. Everything was nice and cozy in the room, comfortably relaxing in the couch provided, that is at least until you lift your head and catch a glance of the ceiling. The scene before your eyes will surely kill off some of your mood. =p

For the food wise, the class ordered a seafood platter and for me, a combo meal fit for 2 consisting of 1 slab of steak, 1 stack of lamb and 1 serving of chicken meat. I am not particularly impressed with their cooking as I feel that all the meat served are below standard. The steak was pretty raw when I ask for a medium well done. The stack of lamb meat was pretty hard. The only consolation was their chicken serving, which was manageable. However, how bad can a chicken meat goes?

The only recommendation I could give was probably their seafood platter. The calamari ring they served was the biggest size I have ever seen so far. One bite through them could send your taste bud tinkling. For their beverage section, happy hour was until 8pm, which is a draw as most of the alcohol was quite reasonably priced and customers would look forward to ordering them to go with their meals.

As we could not decide on a good after meal activities, we headed to Xin Wang 茶餐厅 for more chit-chat and indulged in a "big" tub of 豆花. A great evening and I hope there will be more to come =)
