You’ve read all about the exciting array of facilities at the newly-opened clubhouse. Perhaps a weekend staycation at one of its beautifully designed waterfront villas has already been pencilled into your calendar.
But, if you also happen to be a foodie worth his salt, it’s time to map out your meals for a weekend escape at the clubhouse. There are multifarious choices available, whether you’re an early bird looking for a family-friendly breakfast or a night owl chatting with friends over supper. From kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs at Fun Toast to fast food fixes at Burger King, we’ve got your main meals covered.
BREAKFAST
Fun Toast
Rise and shine with an authentic Singaporean breakfast of kopi and teh, along with charcoal-grilled kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs at Fun Toast. Founded in 1941, the local chain prides itself on its signature Yuan Yang soft bun – a fluffy, freshly-baked bun slathered with homemade kaya butter and lightly toasted.
If you’re anticipating a busy day ahead, Fun Toast also offers more substantial local favourites such as mee siam, curry chicken, chee cheong fun and soy sauce chicken. And for those who are bored with the usual kopi-o (black coffee with sugar) or teh-c (tea with sugar and evaporated milk), check out their old-school red cane leaf iced drink topped with crunchy bits of water chestnut. HomeTeamNS members enjoy 15 per cent discounts, for ala-carte food items only (excluding toast).

Burger King (Halal)
Stash away that dismal looking cereal box and spark joy in your little ones with breakfast at Burger King. For the most important meal of the day, take your pick of your beloved Burger King creations – how fast can you say, ‘Mushroom Swiss’? – sandwiched between flaky golden croissants. And nothing says, ‘fun weekend food’ quite like a breakfast platter stacked with warm pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, sitting cheek-by-jowl with toasty tater tots and a succulent sausage. HomeTeamNS members enjoy selected value meals at exclusive prices, as well as a complimentary soft serve cone.

LUNCH
Sri Bistari (Halal)
A familiar favourite among HomeTeamNS members, Sri Bistari – a halal eatery formerly known as D.U.I.T at the now-defunct HomeTeamNS Sembawang – is well known for its nasi ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken with rice). Online reviews say that the juicy chicken is truly sedap (delicious) and the chilli so fragrant, you’ll want more rice to eat it with.
But if you’re not in the mood for fried chicken, Sri Bistari offers options such as grilled sotong (squid), stingray and prawns, as well as Western dishes like black pepper sirloin steak and fish and chips. Sweeten the experience with a warm Belgian waffle topped with your choice of gelato. HomeTeamNS members enjoy 10 per cent discounts off their purchases.

Chef’s recommendations include freshly-made har gow (steamed prawn dumplings), the signature hot and spicy dumplings, golden custard buns and signature pandan crispy pork buns. HomeTeamNS members enjoy 15 per cent discounts.

DINNER
Xiao Mu Deng
As the sun sets and the temperature dips, it’s time for a comforting steamboat dinner with family and friends at Xiao Mu Deng. The restaurant pays tribute to the rich culinary traditions of Chong Qing – a region in China synonymous with mala, a popular spice mix characterised by its tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorns. Besides mala steamboat, sample the restaurant’s hometown specialities such as the fish-flavoured pork rice bowl, green pepper fat intestines and pig ear in red oil.
While sitting back contentedly around steaming bowls of soup, be sure to take a closer look at your surroundings. The restaurant’s interior, decked out in rustic wooden furniture, recalls the south-west China of yore. HomeTeamNS members enjoy 15 per cent discounts.

SUPPER
7-Eleven
If you’re in the dark about 7-Eleven’s sheer variety of cooked food, snack and beverage options, you clearly haven’t been watching enough TikTok, where Gen Z has been busy showing their love for the round-the-clock convenience store.
There’s more than just potato chips or biscuits to look forward to at 7-11 these days: It also has onigiri (Japanese rice balls) in flavours such as grilled salmon and unagi (grilled eel), instant meals such as butter chicken biryani, kimchi fried rice, and Thai basil chicken, and desserts not limited to soft-serve ice cream. If you’re feeling hunger pangs during your villa stay, you might be surprised by what you’d find at 7-Eleven.
