Singapore Eats: Eating Alone at the Green Bar, Millenia Walk
Eating alone may used to be unthinkable in the past but as we are living in the modern society, it has been somewhat more accepted nowadays. Some articles from Huffington Post and Elite Daily have even encouraged the perks of dining solo without any other human being to accompany you. Being an occasional practitioner of eating alone, I know that sometimes the key to eat alone comfortably is to dine in when most people are bounded to their desk (i.e. Off peak hours) but obviously that may not be an easy feat to perform if you are also part of the corporate slaves with similar working and lunch hour.
If you happen to work in the vicinity of Millenia Walk and you are in a lookout for a nice place to eat and chill alone around noon, you may want to consider the Green Bar.
I actually had no plan to visit the Green Bar at all but as far as I remember Millenia Walk tend to have lesser crowd in busy lunch hour so here I am. Anyway, I am also in urgent need to shed some fats, so why not feed myself some salad. I opted for the 4+1 carbo salad which consist of 1 carbo selection (mine is fusilli with pesto) and 4 toppings as you can see from my receipts below. Anything below SGD 10 for a salad bowl served by restaurant which has air-conditioner is considered pretty good so I suppose I had to accept this high cost of living in the country.
Most of the solo diners are busy with their phones as there are nothing much to people watch if you sit at the corner section to be honest with you. Oh right, how about the food? I chose Japanese sesame sauce to go with my salad and the whole combination taste so good as I believe that sesame goes well with any kind of salad toppings. There were nobody who force me to eat fast (plus there's not much queue) so I could leisurely enjoy my meal bit by bit. Do note that the staff will clear your empty bowl if you eat too fast and you self-conscientiously will decide to go out once that happen unless you're eating during non busy hours.
Overall, I really enjoy my solo dining experience at the Green Bar and would like to do that again in future. Hence, the Green Bar is approved for eating alone. Woots!
