As it was in my title, the national day/hari raya holiday was a long weekend, after rotting at home for the longest time, boyfriend and I decided on a good meal! It all started with a craving, a craving for steak, the suggestions we got from his friends were all REALLY expensive steak houses, which we weren't too keen on busting for a day with no special event. We finally settled for coastal settlement which had many extreme reviews. People either really liked the food there or really hated it.

First things first, I LOVE the ambience of the place, with vintage looking decorations and old school beetles parked right outside. I love those details to bits. Anyway, we walked in without reservation, and I think it is pretty easy to get seats, however, less attention gotten by the servers there.

That is just the cute old school painted wooden window panes, wooden chairs, and as seen in the above photo, there's bicycles! Moving on..

Boyfriend ordered ribs ($34) which was a full rack, and tasted pretty awesome. The ribs were moist enough, not as dry as the ones we had at Chilis. I ordered medium rare rib-eye steak with rosti ($32), my steak came as medium well-done, didn't bother to ask them to redo my steak because we waited 30 minutes for our food to be served. We were really insanely hungry already, I couldn't be bothered to wait another 30 minutes for my steak, so I stuck to my medium well-done steak. If my steak was medium rare, everything about the dish would have been perfect, I think it passes off as a pretty good steak.

All in all, I think Coastal Settlement passes off as a place for a good date or a chill out place, IF you're not too hungry and willing to wait quite awhile for your food to arrive.

For people who don't know where TCS is, it's near Changi Village, and HERE is the website so you can check out the updates and food!
