Whisk & Paddle Restaurant Review: Punggol

Punggol waterside Bistro dining at its best at Whisk & Paddle

Whisk & Paddle Review in Punggol offers a delightful riverside dining experience in Singapore. Situated along the serene Punggol Serangoon Reservoir, the café provides both indoor and al fresco seating, allowing you to enjoy scenic riverside views. Cycling on Coney Island and even prawn fishing are nearby neighbours…

The Whisk & Paddle Menu features a variety of dishes suitable for different times of the day. For breakfast enthusiasts, the Whisk Breakfast Pan is a popular choice, comprising eggs, smoked pork sausage, thick-cut bacon, sautéed mushrooms, corn on the cob, green salad, artisan bread, and sea salt butter: I can vouch for this…

For those visiting later in the day, the café offers a selection of pizzas and pastas. The Crabmeat Linguine stands out, featuring al dente pasta with a generous portion of crabmeat in a spicy tomato sauce, topped with Italian parsley: get in there Wifey.

Dessert lovers will love the café’s homemade pastries and desserts, made fresh daily in their pastry kitchen. Pair these sweet treats with a cup of freshly ground coffee for a rather yummy end to your meal.

The ambience at Whisk & Paddle is just so relaxing and family-friendly. The spacious al fresco dining area is perfect for families, and there’s even a small playground to keep children entertained. It’s buzzing with packed tables, and families just chatting and having fun.

It’s worth noting that the café does not accept reservations on weekends and public holidays, so it’s advisable to arrive early to secure a table. Additionally, Whisk & Paddle is not pet-friendly, so plan accordingly if you’re considering bringing along a furry friend: including your kids…

 

Whisk & Paddle Outdoors

Remember our visit to the sister restaurant, Fat Po? As in right next door, and I think even kitchen sharing. Well, today we hit Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol.

This one has a huge open decking area right on the river. I like that. No booking available on weekend or public holiday so we were VERY lucky to just walk-in today, as it was absolutely mobbed!!! And, rightly so, because like its sister, this place rocks in terms of the food they are serving up. It is of absolute quality at superb prices.

I’d class it as a Western/Asian Fusion Bistro style perhaps? It has a broad variety, does the Whisk & Paddle menu, from all-day breakfast and brunch, pizza and pasta, then very Western fare in the mains, but then some Asian fusion just to distract you further. It’s a big menu, maybe a little too big and a tad confusing with regards to their ‘identity’, but is such good food, as you’ll see.

And who wouldn’t want to be sat here come rain or shine watching the world and the wildlife go by as you sup and chomp of the scrumptious food and drinks?

Where to eat in Punggol

Whisk and Paddle Menu: Our choices

I had made my choice and I was excited, only to find out that the ‘mains’ menu is only available after 1500. Damn!!! Change of strategy to tapas-style, and then I get a variety as well. So, one thing to note visitors. When they give you all the Whisk and Paddle Menu: MAINS ONLY AFTER 15:00.

whisk paddle mushroom soup Whisk & Paddle Restaurant Review: Punggol

1st of 2 soup dishes for me. Simply called Mushroom Soup and served with a cheese Feuillete stick.

Simple it is not, in terms of flavour though. This is a mushroom soup on steroids. So fresh tasting and damned intense mushroom with some beautiful black pepper overtones in there. Yeah, this is GOOD… up there with the best I have ever had, easily.

@ $8.80

Potato and Bacon Soup

But, soup #2 was the overall winner. My God, I could have bathed in this it was so good. I needed to season it a tad with some salt though, but then this thing was Angelic in flavour.

Creamy with hints of potato and smoky bacon and Spring onion. This is a superb soup. This I will have every single time I dine here. This is surely a die, die must try soup. Again, simply known on the menu as Bacon Potato Soup.

@ $8.80

whisk breakfast pan Whisk & Paddle Restaurant Review: Punggol

This was number two on my choice list and #1 got in there for his main. I love the concept of breakfast served in a pan. Genius.

It looks superb and he agreed with that with a squeaky clean pan at the end of lunch. This is Whisk Breakfast Pan. 2 eggs of your choice, smoked pork sausage, thick-cut bacon, sauteed mushrooms, corn on the cob, green salad, artisan bread and sea salt butter. Wow! Superb brekkie platter indeed!!!

@ $20.80

If you don’t want to venture from the house, why not try ISLIFEARECIPE’s very open recipe for Breakfast in a Skillet recipe HERE.

whisk & paddle punggol eggs benedict

Wifey gets stuck into this beauty. Massive waffles, like massive, but wifey said they were so light and fluffy that she was able to devour the lot. So she did.

Again. check out the food because it is just no-frills, great bistro food. This is their Eggs Benedict. Wifey had hers with Smoked Salmon as you can see. She was even commenting on how good the salad dressing was.

@ $19.30

whisk and paddle punggol mexican corn

My last little food foray today was this. Remember the miso corn with edamame I raved about at Fat Po? Well, folks here is Whisk & Paddle’s version. And she is a bloody beauty. I could have just eaten this over and over again. Mexican Corn. Grilled corn on the cob, cheese, paprika and Cayenne mayonnaise. Holy cow this is sooo good.

@ $6.80

whisk & paddle punggol mac n cheese

And next up is the kidlets, who decided it was in a pan for them too. Have a look at that beauty. I had a little taste of forkful and yes this is such a great version. I’d have this as an adult and not worry at all re my choice. Spanking!!! This is Macaroni & Cheese. Macaroni, honey-baked ham, pink sauce & mozzarella cheese. Woof!!!

whisk & paddle banana milkshake

To pass the time of day I even had one of their fresh banana milkshakes. Oh, yes. Yummo…

Awwww, it even comes with Iced Gems, sweets from when I was a kid. One for me and one for Jude Jude.

What else could you do around Tebing Lane?

What else is there to do around Whisk and Paddle? What if I can’t get in and it is fully seated? How about…

  1. Try popping 5 steps next door to their sister restaurant, Fat Po. Have a read of our review of FAT PO MENU HERE also in the same blog you’ll see our adventures of prawn fishing a 2-minute walk away
  2. How about a short trip to enjoy Coney Island & Punggol Settlement, a family favourite of ours
  3. Try some family fun and walks in the area, such as Punggol Waterway Park 
  4.  If you don’t want to go anywhere you could even try our recipe, Miso Butter Corn & Edamame ‘w’ Skirt, which includes some theft from one dish we consumed at Fat Pao

Whisk & Paddle Reviews: Final thoughts....

In summary, Whisk & Paddle in Punggol offers a pleasant dining experience with its diverse menu, scenic views, and welcoming atmosphere. Try a hearty breakfast, a leisurely brunch, or a relaxing dinner by the water, this café is a such a cracking choice in Singapore’s dining scene.

We love Tebing Lane and we love Punggol. We really love it here. It is an awesome part of Singapore to explore if you have not been before. We have also done prawn fishing here, with neighbours of Fat Po & Whisk & Paddle.

Plus we have yet to enjoy the delights of the container park, which is a hotchpotch of containers arranged in an avenue that is about another 5-10 restaurants and bars alongside the river. More blogs to come it seems. For now, though this was Whisk and Paddle Reviews, and what a cracking lunch it was. ENJOY!!!
