Food Review: Soek Seng 1954 Bicycle Cafe

Soek Seng 1954 Bicycle Cafe is a place I chanced upon on social media. It was only one post but that post totally captured my attention. Why?

This. Because of this view.

This cafe is located just beside the Seletar Airport runway! Ok the view may not very pretty and all but it is very very relaxing! Imagine watching aeroplanes taking off and landing beside you as you dine alfresco.

Besides the outdoor seats there are also plenty of indoor seats for those hiding from the heat. As the name suggests, their decor follows a bicycle theme so they have all the bicycles on their walls etc.

In terms of the food and drinks, they offer a mix of Western, Japanese and local food. I forgot to take a picture of the menu oops but the variety is alright, a few dishes from each cuisine.

Sirloin Steak ($15.90)

My father had this dish and he wanted it medium (if I remember correctly). Do note that it came in one slab, I just cut a bit to stack on top of the other for photographic purposes hahaha. The steak came with french fries and a very small portion of lettuce. Unfortunately, the steak was tough and lacked in flavour.

Unatama Don ($7.80)

This dish is thankfully much better. I am impressed with this humble but superb bowl of Unatama Don! Firstly, the price point already wins me over. First time I see an unagi don under $10! Not counting food courts, of course. I initially expected the unagi to be the food court kind - thin with a thick layer of fats. But no, the piping hot bowl consists of thick slabs of unagi mixed with the egg, served on a huge serving of Japanese sushi rice!

Look at the unagi! I love it so much - it was so flavourful and even better than some Japanese restaurants, in fact! I will definitely come back and order this again.

A panoramic view of the outdoor seating area facing the runway. (: It was a very relaxing evening and I enjoyed my dinner. I think the Jap food is better than the Western selections, though I can't say I've tried everything. Prices are rather reasonable, only thing is that this place is only (more) accessible by private transport, i.e. cars or taxi. But I'll definitely return for the ambience. (:
