Chinese New Year is a time for family gathering and great food so I am really glad to start off the festive celebration at a unique restaurant located at De' Kranji Farm Resort (after some research, I realise it is Singapore's first and only Agri-tainment farm). The drive to the De'Beer Seafood Restaurant is an interesting one as the scenery along the way is extremely different from what we usually see in cosmopolitan Singapore. Call me "sua gu" (hokkien dialect for "ignorant") but I was quite fascinated to see lots of farms (e.g. vegetable, fish, prawn, goat) in a part of Singapore that is unknown to me till then.
We reached the restaurant at around 6pm and it was already quite packed. I guess many Singaporeans do enjoy the rustic and casual ambiance offered by the restaurant, as a refreshing break away from the norm. Here were some of the dishes we ordered:
 |
| Suckling pig roasted to perfection. Some parts of the meat is still fatty but overall, the skin is crsipy and the meat is quite tender |
 |
| Hot plate toufu with minced meat |
 |
| Kai lan with fried beancurd |
 |
| Succulent fish with mixed vegetable |
Overall, the quality and taste of the food is very good and definitely worth a try. Apart from enjoying the delicious cuisine, we also bought very cheap and fresh fruits from the fruit vendor operating from a stall in the alfresco restaurant. And this was one of the highlight of the visit:
 |
| A chef roasting a suckling pig over low fire in the open, right in front of our eyes |
Another eye-opener for me as it was the first time I witnessed the process of roasting a suckling pig.
If you are in the mood for some novelty activities after a hearty meal, you can consider fishing for big prawns at the restaurant's prawning area at a fee.
Here is the address of the restaurant:
