​A Quiet Visit to the Live Turtle Museum: Finding Comfort in Grief

Live Turtle Museum at 11 Chencharu Close The Gentle Motivation Behind the Visit The Live Turtle Museum reopened at its new location on August 23, 2026. By a heartbreaking coincidence, that very same week, I lost my beloved baby of 26 years . Just a week later, while still deep in grief, I decided to make the trip. Being just a short bus ride from my house in Yishun, it felt close enough to reach out and a touch of familiar comfort. But stepping inside brought a flood of conflicting emotions. I found myself looking at all these gentle creatures living, breathing, and thriving, while my own one and only was gone forever. It sparked a strange, heavy mix of feelings that I hope people can pardon, as grief naturally makes the heart process things in complex ways. Tucked next to HomeTeamNS Khatib and surrounded by the ongoing construction of upcoming BTOs, the site carries a sense that it may not be their permanent home for long. It made me think of how stressful moving from place to place ...

Food Review | PAUL Restaurant


Be a smart diner, grab their All Day Set Special from 11.30am onwards, Mondays to Fridays (except for Public Holidays). Lucky me and my friend. Spotted this offer and headed straight in.

At $15.80 per set, you get the following:

  1. Appetizer: Soup of the day or Prawn Cocktail Salad
  2. Main course: Roasted Chicken Thigh in Rosemary Sauce or Pan fried Salmon Steak
  3. Dessert of the day (check with the staff)
  4. Drinks: Homemade Iced Tea, Coke or Coke light
Because there were two of us, so we enjoyed the best of both world. Anyway, there are only two choices.


Appetizer

I fancy their Prawn Cocktail Salad. Especially when mixed with the sauce that tastes like Thousand Island. The vegetable soup was good too (my friend said it was broccoli) but the bread was extremely hard to consume even after dipping in the soup, in hopes that it could soften it. But it didn't.



Pan Fried Salmon Steak

Fresh is the word that I can use to describe the salmon steak. Finely mashed and savoury potatoes to match. And a little crunchiness from asparagus. Overall, decent taste but no hype over it.



Roasted Chicken Thigh in Rosemary Sauce

Tender and flavourful meat. All thanks to the roasting skills of the chef and also their rosemary sauce (the saving grace on the overall taste). At least, a little moisture on the meat was retained that made it less dryer. 



Dessert of the Day: Raspberry Cake

Every meal should end with a dessert. Especially something sweet. And I would say you get a layer of taste from this slice of cake: light flavour on the outer layer of jello, creamy and smooth on the second layer (cheesecake I suppose) to a mix of sweet and sour taste from the middle section (berries especially), you don't know how to react and just squeak a little. Good attempt. Like sending a shock wave to the entire body. 

I would think that if an expensive restaurant has set meal offers like this plus you are not so particular with taste, go on and dine in now. If not, just pay more for better choices. The former is just right for me though. Bucket list checked.
