Healthy Food in the Neighbourhood Park

The Canopy at Aramsa

10 March 2011, Singapore

I ever expected there is quite a number of restaurants setup in Neighbourhood Park in Singapore. My good friend, Mdm Pang, introduced me a restaurant in the middle of Bishan Park. It was The Canopy @ Aramsa. There were live bands and several restaurants there. I can enjoy music, cuisine and flowers at the same time. Bishan Park is a great place to chill out after work. We ordered The Green Room Gado Gado as appetizer, Yorkshire Pork Rack and avocado mustard wrap as entrée, and Affogato as dessert.

The Green Room Gado Gado is the modern twisted of the traditional Indonesian Gado Gado. It consisted of cucumber, sweet turnip, french beans, tempeh and tofu served with special roasted cashew sauce. The roasted cashew sauce was delicious and complement with the ingredients.

The Yorkshire Pork Rack with buttered broccoli and caramelized onion glaze was perfectly seasoned. The grilled pork chop was tender and juicy. The caramelized onion glaze was complemented with the protein. It was again delicious.

The vegetarian Avocado Mustard Wrap consisted of avocado, japanese cucumber, tomatoes, mixed sprouts and zesty honey mustard deliciously enveloped with homemade wrap. The honey mustard harmonized the ingredients in the warp; thus this made this dish healthy and absolutely delicious.

The Affogato is a single shot of espresso with a scoope of vanilla ice cream. This dessert was simple, easy to prepare and absolutely delicious. I can improved it by adding peanut grinds with seasoned fruits to improved texture, taste and appeal.
