Colbar Eating House @ Whitchurch Road

Living in a city surrounded by major dining labels, it is refreshing to know places such as COLBAR still exist, and best of all, it is tucked away in a rather inconspicuous location, and so for people out there looking for a private dining experience, this is the place to be.
While I have only started patronizing COLBAR only recently, I must say each visit is always a pleasure as there is simply no fuss and pretense in its food and the surroundings. This 58 year old restaurant is non-air-conditioned and rustic and the entire structure was actually transplanted (after much debate) from its original site (which is five minutes away from its present location) as it was in the way of the highway construction, which makes me wonder about the fate of these historical structures in the nation’s progress towards a global city.
Moreover, COLBAR is a place for both adults and kids, and I just love the playground just beside the restaurant, where kids run around under the canopy of trees above, during a hot and sunny day. The feeling experienced at COLBAR is simply nostalgic and serene, and the idea of the bustling city is thrown way behind, just for a moment, I am at peace.
