Darin once went to East Coast Park with some of his colleagues and said that he had the best food in Singapore there. So naturally, I wanted to go also!
We arrived at East Coat Park after a 90 minute bus ride (ok, this was due to my inability to accurately read the bus schedule - I picked a bus that took us in a wide loop from our apartment west and then up and then east...long story). Five minutes after we arrived, it started to rain - our timing was definitely off, but luckily we had an umbrella.
East Coat Park is a long stretch of green along the coast, and the beach and landscaped terrains make East Coast Park a weekend favourite for Singaporeans. And where there are Singaporeans, there will be food! At the hawker centre there, located on the beach, we ordered grilled calamari, satay and roasted sting ray and some Tiger beer with ice chips to wash everything down.
I was surprised by how delicious the sting ray was. It is served in a banana leaf and covered in a tangy lemon chilli sauce that is to die for. The fillet is about half an inch thick and you scrape the tender meat off of the soft bones. I felt bad about eating a stingray because I know how beautiful and graceful they are. But it was very tasty and worth the try.
