Raffles Marina

This is the first time I've been to Raffles Marina. Frankly, unless you're totally nuts about boating or yachting then I don't see why you'd come here. Not that the place isn't nice, but cos it's all the way at the end of Tuas (West of Singapore island) - just beside the Immigration checkpoint actually or what is also commonly known as The Second Link (to Malaysia).

We only happened to be there because Edmund had to drop by his work site for a while one weekend day and it so happened that his site is in Tuas. So while we waited for Edmund to finish his stuff, Caelyn and I had a mother-daughter lunch right beside the dock. I was surprised to find that there was quite a number of people having lunch there too.

The place is rather relaxing, quiet and a little breezy. We ate on the terrace, can't remember the name, but there's really only one there. The food wasn't that great, even if it was just fish and chips and lobster bisque that we ordered - I was rather disappointed considering it's supposed to be a "aseanarean's premier marina, country club and nautical lifestyle centre" (http://www.rafflesmarina.com.sg/). Maybe the other stuff on the menu would be better.

I wonder who the boats and yachts belong to....

see The Second Link checkpoint in between the trees there?
