Hort Park
2009
I’m sure many have read about Hort Park. It’s supposed to be part of the South Ridges park which starts from somewhere in Mt Faber to Kent Ridge and West Coast Park. I’ve never been there until last Saturday when my friend celebrated her 40th birthday there.
Not at the park of course. It’s really hot day to be out there. But Kha Thai restaurant has a wonderful ambience. Sit alfresco and you look out over a shallow pond to greenery. So peaceful. You see trees and flowers. And it’s not crowded, so it’s rather quiet.
In fact the next table was a Caucasian couple enjoying a bottle of white wine. Very Jane Austen like kind of setting if you like. But take away the PSA Tower that intrudes the view on one side and you can be somewhere else. It’s really not like Singapore at all.
Pity we’d to move inside with the first few drops of rain. Still the ambience was worth it.
As for the restaurant, the food is good. Prices are above average but the service and food is good. The crab cakes are good, so is the duck salad appetiser. The steamed sea bass is done just right and the duck curry is not too spicy. I had a bit of the mango sticky rice dessert – very nice. Not too sweet.
Service out in the open is a bit slow because fewer staff outside. So have to exercise patience. Otherwise, if you’re looking for a quiet evening and good food, try Kha. Worth every cent.
