Canopy Garden Dining at Bishan Park

Canopy Garden Dining is located in the heart of Bishan Park, tucked between the greenery surrounding and residential area. 

Canopy Garden Dining is a popular dining spot for residents staying in Bishan to unwind after their activities in the park. Furry pets are welcome at the cafe too.

It has been 8 years since I last visited the park, the cafe I been to previously was not longer around.

The alfresco dining does not have much of a view except for the leaves covering up the roof. Nevertheless, it is still a great place to chill over a meal. Beware of ants dropping down from the roof, I flipped away at least 3 to 4 ants dropped on my hand during my entire time there.

I had Ice Chocolate which I felt was too bland in taste.

I decided to order Grilled Chicken Sandwich because it was served with fries. It came in a generous portion, making the fries very addictive.

The grilled chicken was sandwiched in between the sourdough toast together with onion marmalade, tomato, mesclun. Each ingredient contained different texture (hard, soft and crunch) and flavours.

After the lunch, it was time to burn off the calories away. Took a stroll along the park and admire the green landscape. The mid afternoon sun was glaring and half of the time we were power walking so that we could complete the walk faster. 

After taking in the greenery, we spotted McDonald and decided to seek a shelter there while having ice cream. The hot afternoon heat just made me want to stay indoor and had something chilling.

It must have been years since I last had Oreo McFlurry Ice Cream, the packaging has even changed, missed it so much. I love that it comes in a big cup that satisfied my cravings for oero ice cream in a quaint surrounding.

I think it is hard to find another McDonald in Singapore that offers such a great greenery view and cloudy sky. This is the view that I have when having ice cream, the view is even better than Canopy Garden Dining.

Lime Restaurant at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering

 Every time I walk past PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, I would always steal a second glance at their green city architecture. From the exterior to the interior, there is no shortage of greenery from the hotel. I finally visited the hotel for their lunch.

The greenery at the lobby created a tropical atmosphere and added liveliness to the hotel. It gave a comfortable feeling as I walked past the area to the restaurant.

Lime Restaurant is a warm setting and vibrant restaurant that offers buffet and ala carte menu ranging from local to Southeast Asian cuisine and international delights. I love the bright interior of the restaurant and we got a very comfortable sofa seat spot.

It was so thoughtful that they served Lime Juice as welcome drink.

I had Crispy Skin Lemon Smeared Norwegian Salmon and Crystal Bay Sweet Prawn which was served alongside with artichoke cream, edamame, roasted beetroot medley, king oyster mushroom, citrus quinoa, burnt tangelo and saffron sauce.

One of the best salmon I ever had. Not only was it beautifully plated, the salmon flesh was tender while the skin remained crisp and retained a flavourful taste when consumed. The prawns were very fresh that I could taste the natural sweetness in it. 

Lime restaurant won my heart with their delicious food and relaxing ambience, it is worth visiting even though you are not staying at the hotel. Indeed a good finding.
