What to eat at East Coast Park?

May 8, 2017

East Coast Park is one of Singapore’s most famous parks thanks to its location, its scenic coastline that stretches over 15 km and the multitude of activities that can be enjoyed there such as BBQing, camping, cycling and dining by the seaside. Did you know that more than 7 million people visit East Coast Park a year?

If you haven’t visited East Coast Park in a while, you may be interested to know that it has undergone a number of changes in the past few years.

  1. Parkland Green — The old golfing range has been turned into Parkland Green, a dining enclave with a huge lawn for activities. (Opened in late 2014)
  2. Marine Cove — Also known as the area where McDonalds is located. It has finally been renovated and now boasts 5 eateries plus a huge children’s playground. (Reopened in mid 2016)
  3. Seafood Centre — There are non-seafood centric eateries here, namely halal restaurant Enak Enak Hong Kong Teahouse!
  4. Big Splash — Vacant and awaiting redevelopment
  5. Raintree Cove (Where Burger King used to be) — Vacant and awaiting redevelopment
  6. GoldKist (Chalets) — Vacant and awaiting redevelopment

So…. the key question is, what is there to eat at East Coast Park, aside from the Hawker Centre near the East Coast lagoon? Scroll down to find out more! The eateries are arranged by location, from nearest to town and then heading east. Note the carpark area, to make wayfinding easier. Scroll to the end for the Google map of East Coast Park.

Parkland-Green

Parkland Green boasts 8 dining establishments, 2 sports retail outlets and 1 laser tag arena. The unique feature of Parkland Green is the huge lawn in front of the development that is free for all members of the public to use. Another unique feature is that all the dining establishments face the same direction, so they all have sea views! Compared to Marine Cove, Parkland Green offers a larger variety of Western food, and alcohol.

Marine Cove - Playground

Marine Cove closed back in 2012 for upgrading works and reopened again in mid 2016. It looks totally different from what it was before but I guess all the children won’t mind that thanks to the huge playground that is now the highlight of Marine Cove. Word of warning, the playground is hugely popular on the weekends, so be prepared to spend quite some hours here as you won’t be able to tear your children away so easily. Oh and did I mention there are now 5 F&Bs here as well.

The F&Bs at Marine Cove in general offer food options at a more affordable pricing than compared to Parkland Green, with a number of the outlets also offering numerous local dishes. If you’re looking for cheap eats at East Coast Park, this is the place to be.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf needs no further explanation as well, having been in Singapore for 2 decades it seems? But if you want a review, here’s my review of The Coffee Bean’s latest menu.

Marine Cove - MyBriyani House

This is one of those eateries whose menu spans pages and pages. Think all manner of pratas, briyani (of course), mee goreng etc…

Marine Cove - McDonalds

McDonald’s

And McDonalds, having been at Marine Cove for 30 years prior to its redevelopment, it would seem inconceivable if they don’t return to their ”home turf” right? The outlet feels smaller, but is a test bed for many interesting things such as a salad bar! A salad bar would certainly be good news for the health conscious who are time-strapped! Read my blog post on the new Marine Cove McDonald’s outlet.

 

 

~~~ Seafood Centre — Area E1 ~~~

(Blk 1202/1204 East Coast Parkway, East Coast Seafood Centre Singapore 449883)

The East Coast Seafood Centre, beloved for decades as the go to place for large family gatherings over sumptuous seafood dinners. But actually, a number of the restaurants here are open for lunch and offer affordable lunch menus too.

The only eatery at the Seafood Centre that is obviously not seafood centric, this halal restaurant is also one of those restaurants with like 20 pages on its menu. You name it, they probably have it! Halal dim sum, fried rice, steamboat, crabs etc at affordable prices. You can have a meal here for less than $10! They also have another outlet at Simpang Bedok.

This restaurant made the news when it opened because it uses robots to serve food to customers. If you want the human touch, don’t worry because they only have a few of such robots, and there are still waiters and waitresses around.
