4. Bottle Tree Village Seafood Restaurant - Chinese Cuisine. 60 Jalan Mempurong (Sembawang). This is a very tranquil and unique place located deep inside Sembawang Park and is facing the beach. A very nice ambience. You can only drive there and the place is so secluded that it is not easy to find. Direction: From Sembawang Road, head all the way to the end, in the direction of Sembawang Park, past the Sembawang Straits estate. When you come to Andrew Ave (where some pretty nice houses are being built), turn right and follow the signs leading into Jalan Mempurong where Bottle Tree Village is located. It serves seafood with Thai-Chinese style. Try the butter prawn, it is one of the best i have ever tasted. The rest of the food tastes pretty good too!
