Relax Bar Punggol Settlement Review: Affordable beers and Korean Cuisine!

Relax Bar is a new restaurant at level 2 of Punggol Settlement. It has a great frontage with sea views of the Johor Straits. This time, we decided to give it a try since there were deals on its Erdinger Beer Tower at $39.9++!!!

First and foremost, the vibe is indeed relaxed at Relax Bar. Even the servers are quite relaxed. When we arrived, there were actually several tables waiting to be served and since there was no one attending to us, we took the liberty to sit at one of the tables with unblocked sea views. About 5 minutes after we were seated, we were told that the entire row of seats were reserved, apparently for regulars. Hence, to snag one of these seats, you’d have to call ahead or visit often enough. With that, we moved to a seat at the next row 😭

Thankfully, throughout the evening, there were no one seated at the first row. Hence, our views were still unblocked – which begs the question of who really made the reservation? 🤔

Going along with the relaxed vibe, it took us another 5 minutes before we were given the menu. Even with the increasing number of people, we noticed that the servers were keeping to the relaxed vibe and walking at the usual pace. Which, in a sense, does add to the relaxed atmosphere. What’s your hurry right?

While we settled in and chose our food from the menu, we also took time to enjoy the sea views as well as the sunset this evening. For food and drinks, we went for the Erdinger Tower ($39.9++) and the Army Stew ($38.8++)…

While waiting for our food, we commenced on our usual game of Scrabble, accompanied by the views and gentle breeze this evening…

Before long, our Erdinger Beer Tower arrived and we immediately sculled our first glass to quench our thirst…

Ah…came the reply to that…

Soon our Army Stew arrived! 😲

At $38.8++, it was not the cheapest Army Stew that we’ve had but it was certainly quite worth it. As you can see, the portion is quite huge and it comes with seafood such as clams and prawns. The Korean noodles got tastier as it soaked in the broth. There were loads of other ingredients that usually comes in a Korean Army Stew such as mushrooms, sausage, spam, vegetables, toufu and meat. Yes, the broth is also refillable. The server will make his rounds to check if you’d like to add more broth (free) or noodles ($1.5 each) which is not too bad for a restaurant with sea view frontage.

Conclusion

To conclude, we think that Relax Bar is a great addition to the Punggol Settlement food scene. The atmosphere is relaxed and the servers observe that rule as well. You can really ease in, chillax and enjoy conversations with your buddy and companion. With the ongoing pandemic and restaurants going belly-up, it is refreshing to see a great venue popping up to provide us with more choices. Hope Relax Bar can continue to serve up great food and drinks at affordable prices in the coming years!

P.S. Apparently, the “seating ordeal” has affected several other patrons as well. See comments section for more details.
