Imagine having a meal on a farm, in Singapore. Just the mere thought of that does not sound real, but that was exactly what we experienced at the well-known Bollywood Farms located in Kranji. Founded in 2000, the restaurant and surroundings look as if they have been around forever. Here is a piece of Singapore that used to exist but is surely becoming extinct when urbanisation takes over. Even the Lim Chu Kang Road that leads to Neo Tiew Road is new, just opened in mid-June.

The eatery is called Poison Ivy, named after its founder, the social justice warrior Ivy Singh Lim, but everybody knows it as Bollywood Veggies. Its idyllic setting and unpretentious vibe are the perfect place for a healthy meal at modest (for restaurants in Singapore) prices. No pork or beef is served here, and the portions are hearty. Here are the pictures from our simple lunch here, and the lovely greenery that surrounds us. Thanks go to Amy Ho and Phan Ming Yen for introducing to us this bit of paradise in Singapore.
