sembawang park

sembawang park located at the end of sembawang road where bus service 882 terminates, it is one of the quieter and less crowded parks, on weekends, in singapore. there is the historic beaulieu house which now houses a chinese restaurant. the other entrance to the park is at tuah road. the restaurant was closed down for a while before it reopened under the same name. when it was closed, the owner of the restaurant operated an outlet at the safra yacht club along admiralty west road.

the jetty - facing johor - is very popular with anglers and crab catchers. the flower crabs are mostly of medium and small sizes. it is uncommon to land a big one in this area. there are facilities for bbq and picnic. this place is popular with residents from the sembawang area.

admiralty primary school held its family day at the park sometime in april this year.

more than 20 years ago, together with mc wong, i caught more than thirty flower crabs from the same jetty. took them home and my mother had them steamed for dinner.
