Palau Ubin is an island situated in the north-east region of Singapore and can be reached via a 15min bumboat ride from the port of Changi Village. The entrance to the island does not require passport or any travel documents so feel free to roam the area the moment you step onto the docking platform.
We planned to spend about half of the day exploring the place but obviously we underestimated. It may seem small on the overall map of Singapore but it's packed with attractions on every corner. For those who intend to complete the whole course of Palau Ubin, you will need a bicycle that can be rented at the shops after you exit the jetty.
We did not follow my advice and we went to explore by feet as we wanted to pay attention to the information markers scattered around the area and be immersed with the cultural heritage of Palau Ubin. I was amazed to see how well maintained the area and it makes me feel that I was on a really remote island away from the city. I’m impressed by how the locals are really making an effort to preserve the abundance of forest and its habitat.
After a few hours of trekking, we decided to get to my favorite part of the trip, “food”! There are a variety of food choices in Palau Ubin, it ranges from local Chinese, Indonesian and international cuisine.
The one that gets our attention is the Season Live Seafood Restaurant which features fresh seafood prepared in the local style of cooking.
From the menu, we picked Black Pepper Crab, Cereal Prawn, and some vegetables to go with it. The crab being the star of the table is considered the most pricey but it's totally worthy as it's so delicious and fiery hot. The restaurant also features alfresco dining while having a view of the ocean.
To put in a nutshell, the variety of the activities and food choices that we can have in Palau Ubin is more than enough to make me revisit the place. It may be small in size and may not rival other attractions but it is something that I look forward to when I feel the need to relax and reminisce my olden village days.
