The Coastal Settlement

It is a blast from the past at The Coastal Settlement. A museum filled with souvenirs, antique vehicles, paintings and furniture welcomes you, taking you on a trip down the memory lane.  Located very close to the Old Changi Hospital, this food joint has an exceptionally calming vibe owing to the lush greenery which surrounds it. This serves perfectly well for those looking to take the day off for a change. While the interiors talk about everything vintage, the menu card tells a different story. The people at TCS have put a lot of thought into crafting the menu to be a balanced combination of local flavours and a contemporary twist. Loads of mouth watering mains like Wagyu Cheese Burger, Mushroom Burger and Grilled Lamb Chops are readily available. Moreover, there’s an all day breakfast menu too- yay for all the breakfast buffs. Besides, there is ample variety of rice and noodles and the desserts are simply to die for.

Psst. Did we mention that the place is dog friendly? Get your pets along.

The alfresco area at The Coastal Settlement is full of greenery, waterfalls and it literally feels like a picnic spot. Perch yourself on one of the tables and let your doggo enjoy the fresh air as you indulge in some high-tea. It costs S$19 and consists of macarons, panna cotta, strawberries and Nutella dip, assorted cakes, mala fish balls, salmon ceviche, mini curry puff, pain au chocolat, ham cheese, and tomato croissant with free-flowing tea or coffee. You can also go for their ala carte delights like Spam Fries (straight-cut luncheon meat, sriracha mayonnaise, chilli sauce) for S$14 or Wagyu Beef & Mushroom Pizza (S$25).

The Coastal Settlement is a casual dining restaurant, café and bar, surrounded by lush trees, shrubs and green fields; you can even take a peek of the sea while dining. Occasionally, you can chance upon a cruise ship sailing by and cackling hornbills in their flights.

A sneak into the history:

… previously known as Block 20, Changi Camp, it was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a fault control and telephone exchange, operated by the 19 Signal Regimen. In fact, this general area was known as the Changi Military Base in the British times. If you have more stories, do share it with us!
