You probably also think that you\u2019re getting a great deal when you go to all-you-can-eat Japanese buffets and stuff yourself silly with said salmon sashimi. But what if we told you there is a better way?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/fassler-gourmet.jpg\" alt=\"fassler-gourmet\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/fassler-gourmet.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/fassler-gourmet-940x528.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/lhuwenkai.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/12\/img_9848.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=575\">Credits<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fassler.sg\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fassler Gourmet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Bring it home, eat it over the course of a week, share it with your friends &#8211; the choice is yours. Doesn\u2019t that sound like a much better option?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.

The 400m long jetty is the longest recreational jetty in Singapore, and on weekends, you\u2019ll be able to see quite a few fishermen (or rather, aspiring fishermen), patiently parked along the stretch with their fishing gear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to do some cycling, the park is also connected to Admiralty Park via the Northern Explorer Loop. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3.

Go for the more wallet-friendly option, The Crowded Bowl, a vegetarian salad stall located at Republic Polytechnic. (Nope, you don\u2019t need to be a student to get into the school compound!)<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get a base of greens, two regular sides, one premium side and dressing (balsamic vinaigrette, orange marmalade or Japanese sesame) if you\u2019re ordering the regular bowl ($3). It might look like a small bowl, but it\u2019s surprisingly filling!<\/p>\n<p>The Crowded Bowl is located at Republic Polytechnic, Level 3, The Lawn Food Court.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.
