Bark Cafe

Went to Bark Cafe near the Changi Chapel and Museum for dinner. It's a nice peaceful place to go when you want to enjoy fresh air. No sight of air-cons in this place. There were many flowering trees in the area that gave off an interesting, strong but not pungent scent. And btw, there's free parking nearby. If it's full, fret not! Just conveniently drive the car up the grass patch and strut off for dinner! No paranoid security person will come waving after you. Yay!

Tiger went along too, as the cafe used to be dog-friendly. Unfortunately, because some intolerant customers complained to the management, they stopped welcoming pets 3 months ago. Hey! It's BARK cafe and no dogs are allowed?? Well, that's Singaporeans, forever so finicky about hygiene and ever so non-tolerant of animals. Have you ever wondered what happened to all those stray dogs and cats that were so prevalent 15 years ago? All "put to sleep" (the AVA calls it). Basically its a euphemism for KILLING innocent animals who have no place in an urban city like Singapore.

The management was nice enough to put us at the far far end of the cafe at a wooden bench. We strolled through heaps of surprised diners with Tiger scampering behind.

Crayfish Hor Fun

Black Pepper Chicken

The menu had a mix of western and local food. Expect to pay about $15 to $20 per main course. My hor fun was a little disappointing cos it had a slight fishy aftertaste and the crayfish wasn't very fresh. David's chicken was passable but the portion was small. Dessert was not particularly appetizing. We went home rather miffed.

That said, Bark Cafe has a nice laid back ambience in an unusual location. I would go back again with friends and ahem, adjust my culinary expectations a little.
