A Leisure Afternoon Spent at Pulau Ubin

To get to Pulau Ubin, we got to take the bum-boat from Changi Jetty.

Once we reached the jetty at Pulau Ubin, we took a van to drive us to Chek Jawa.  The van dropped us at this point where we saw a number of

WILD BOARS!!!!  

This was the first time that I saw wild boars at Pulau Ubin and everyone was so excited, taking out their cameras to capture shots of these "superstars".

This fruit is known as "Nipah".  The edible seeds that come from it are known as "Attap Chee".  Does that ring a bell.

I did intertidal walk at Chek Jawa 5 years ago but I think there is no more such guided walk anymore.

This Tudor-styled cottage is known as "House No. 1" - Chek Jawa Vistor Centre and was built in 1930.

There is a fireplace inside the cottage.

 Spotted a pretty vending machine.  :)

More wild boars spotted as we made our way back.  I decided to slow walk from the cottage back to the jetty with my 3 other colleagues instead of taking the van.  We spent almost another hour walking back.

October meet-up to celebrate our friend, Eeling's birthday.

In short, there was a good variety of ala-carte dishes here and the food was good.  Sashimi was fresh and thickly sliced.  The lunch buffet cost $35++ and with OCBC credit card, you will get to enjoy 15% off.  However, probably due to shortage of staff, service was very slow.  

Even baby was eyeing on the food!
