If you have ever been on an aircraft on final approach to Changi Airport from the north-east, and had a window seat, you may have noticed many kelongs off the coast of Singapore and Johor.
Kelongs are wooden structures built on the sea, used for fishing. These often have living quarters on them. A very small number of them are open to visitors for dining.
Uncle Tan's Kelong is one of those kelongs which serves rustic local fare, with an emphasis on fresh seafood. It is not exactly a restaurant: it is more akin to private dining although there is nothing really very private about eating on an open floating platform in the middle of the sea.
You call to make an appointment for dinner, and at the designated date and time, head to Changi Point Ferry Terminal for a short bumboat ride to the kelong for your meal, bringing along your own beverages, as none are provided.
As regulars on SQTalk would have guessed, it was all Mrs yflyer's idea. Not content to roam the far corners of Singapore in search of sustenance, she decided that she wanted to sample cuisine offshore as well, and roped in a few of our friends to join us for dinner.
