Dinner at Canopy Garden Dining & Bar

Looking for a comfortable, peaceful garden ambience to dine on a cool evening? Look no further - pop by to Canopy Garden Dining & Bar at Bishan Park II, 1382 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, Singapore 569931. The number to contact them is 6556 1533.

This restaurant offers both indoor and alfresco dining. We chose the outdoor seating area as it was a cool night, and the ambience is more cosy. Pet lovers could even bring their dogs to the outdoor seats.

It is a very serene environment surrounded by nature, and the diners are not loud or boisterous despite many of them having drinks.

There is music in the background, and the staff are pretty effiicient. The simple garden setting makes it perfect for friends to hangout at, or couples to hold intimate conversations during their meals.

After browsing through the menus, we placed our orders. I kept debating between the Chilli Crab Pasta and Lobster Pomodoro Pasta, in the end I got the latter.

For the price of my pasta, I expected the flavor to be succulent with tomato and spices sauce while the lobster meat would probably be paltry. But I was wrong. My Lobster Pomodoro - spaghetti tossed with lobster meat and red wine tomato basil sauce - tasted rather bland and the pasta was softer than what I would have preferred. But nonetheless, the meal was still enjoyable as the lobster flesh was aplenty, in huge chunks around the pasta right till the bottom of the pile! I was amazed.

My dining partner had the Sakura Chicken - chicken marinated with mixed herbs served with potato wedges, seasonal vegetables and mushroom sauce.  The meat was not very tender, but the taste was rich enough; in fact, rather pleasing to the tongue.

We also had drinks. I am impresed with the Chile Cabernet Sauvignon they served - that boosted of flavors of wine cherry and vanilla - very apt description of how it tastes exactly. It was very lovely and sweet.

The total bill came up to about SGD$40.00 per person, which is pretty reasonable for dinner and drinks. Do drop by for a taste of dining in the gardens.
