REVIEW: Good Cafe food in Singapore: Canopy Garden Dining at Bishan Park

I've added this café to my list of places to visit in Ang Mo Kio/Bishan. It's closer to the AMK swimming complex and behind McDonald's. You can reach it by taking bus 50 or 53 and getting off at the Bishan Park bus stop. The surroundings are lush with greenery, hence the name Canopy Garden Dining.

I appreciate the glass walls allowing natural light in for good photos. The café is impressively spacious with outdoor seating under a unique rock canopy bar that operates at night. Inside, the décor is predominantly wooden, including the flooring, chairs, tables, and ceiling.

I ordered the lunch set priced at $18, which includes pasta and soup of the day. Drinks are available as extra, but I chose water. The Crab meat aglio olio I ordered was delicious, featuring linguine, crabmeat, garlic, fresh herbs, chili, olive oil, coriander, and spring onion. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the crab meat was plentiful, with a spicy kick from the chili. The thick soup of the day was also flavorful, a far cry from canned soups.

After your meal, you can explore the nearby park, perhaps even hunting Pokémon.

I revisited the café for lunch with a friend and noticed the intriguing BURGER BENEDICT on the menu. It's made with poached eggs, grilled Angus patty, melted cheese, bacon jam, pickles, and shallots on a sesame bun, served with homemade hollandaise sauce, sesame fries, and crispy anchovy. The Angus patty was particularly juicy and delicious, though the sesame fries with anchovy didn't quite hit the mark, in my opinion.
