For a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, there’s a little corner at Gillman Village along Lock Road where one can retreat to for some food and drink amidst lush greenery.
Thanks to a colleague who suggested this place for our company’s annual staff party, I’ve discovered Little Bali which is such a lovely spot to chill out at.
There’s a restaurant and bar there and the place does get pretty crowded on weekend nights. It’s a nice and relaxed slice of Bali away from the real thing in the little island of Singapore. The owners have taken great care to recreate the Balinese feel in its stone ornaments which dot the place, the water fountain features, the tropical plants which surround the place in orderly mayhem fashion and the rattan/cane furniture.
I didn’t try the food served at Little Bali as our food that night was being catered by an external source. I think it was Patara Thai and the food was pretty good/ Will definitely consider them for future catering needs.
Everyone loved the place as it was something different from a sitdown Chinese wedding diinner-like kind of staff party which is the norm. This was casual and relaxed, plus the open bar was welcomed by everyone.
Anyhow, this is definitely a place I’ll want to drop by again. Great place to chill out. But it’s not a place for people who can’t survive anywhere but airconditioned rooms. I’m a warm weather creature so this place suits me just fine!
