Raffles Marina Bistro (Raffles Marina Country Club)

Raffles Marina Bistro is located in Raffles Marina Country Club in Tuas, near to the Tuas Checkpoint (2nd link). It serves a variety of food; Indian, Western, Local and dessert cuisine. Raffles Marina Bistro is not only well known for its food but also the view it offers. You can dine and enjoy the sea view, sunset and sea breeze.

I was told that they are well known for their Satay, Beef Hor Fan and Laksa. Was brought to this place by chance. It is not very accessible unless you have a car (after all it is a prestige country club, people who comes in mostly drive or take a cab).
Laksa $9.80
I ordered the Laksa which consist of thick bee hoon, prawns, fish cakes, bean sprouts and quail egg. The laksa gravy was fragrant and there were lots of bits of dried shrimp in it. In terms of spiciness it was just right for me. It was delicious and I drank quite a significant portion of the gravy. Another highlight would be the prawns which were extremely fresh though small in size. It was a very delicious bowl of laksa. But I still prefer 928 Yishun Laksa. Reasons being, the portions given are more, the gravy is more fragrant and it is more value for money!

I did try the Satay too. However, did not manage to take any photos. The Satay were delish! Tender and juicy!

The downside of Raffles Marina Bistro is that it is really inaccessible unless you drive. In addition, I live in the North part of Singapore. It is very unlikely I will be back here any time soon unless I come by Tuas again. It's a pity as the view is awesome; a great place to just chill out and relax.

Qiu Yun Ban Mian (Golden Mile Food Centre)

I have noticed that there was always a queue at this stall; Qiu Yun Ban Mian (Not Qiu Lian Ban Mian) during my visits to Golden Mile Food Centre or Beach Road Army Market. There are no reviews in the internet on this place at all. But I am sure there's a reason for the queue.
During this visit, the queue stretched all the way to the opposite stall. I noticed that this stall is manned by a young Chinese couple. The female takes the order, collects the money and prepare the ingredients for cooking. Interestingly, the male does the cooking, multitasking between 4 stoves.
Menu
A quick glance at some of the items and prices. I noticed that the items are relatively cheap.
Yu (You) Mian $2.80
I queued for almost 20 minutes before receiving my order. Quite fast despite the queue. I was shocked when I received my order as you may notice from the above picture, there was no vegetables given. Thinking that it was a mistake, I inform the lady, but she told me there was no mistake.

Well this is the Yu Mian / You Mian. The broth was surprisingly flavourful. The You Mian (thin noodles) normally hand made by each individual stall was delicious! One can taste the fragrant and flavour in each strand of the noodle. It has been a long time since I ate a You Mian that was this fragrant and flavourful. Overall, a very decent bowl of You Mian. In addition, at $2.80, this is very cheap as most other handmade noodles stalls sells their You Mian at $3.30 or $3.50 at other coffee shops. The only down side was the lack of vegetables. Qiu Yun Ban Mian is certainty worth a try. No wonder there is always a perpetual queue at the stall.
