An Evening to Remember: Our Family Reunion at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront

Welcome to Woodlands Waterfront Park For us, it was a change from our usual reunion dinner tradition of either a home-cooked meal or a mini buffet catered at home. This year, we decided to dine out for the first time at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront, a Halal restaurant serving a variety of Zi Char-style dishes. The experience was made even better by the stunning view of the Woodlands Causeway leading to Johor Bahru, with the upcoming RTS railway set to open by the end of 2026. Excited for the speedy ride and custom clearance for a JB day trip in 2027. Though we got stuck in traffic for a bit on our way from the West to the North, I didn’t mind too much. After all, everyone’s in a rush to cross the Causeway and be with their families for the Lunar New Year. That RTS that links us with our neighbour, Malaysia Hello neighbour The restaurant is located on the bridge, and while waiting for my brother and his wife to arrive, we took a stroll along the stretch.

Food Review | 炭 Taan Charcoal Grill


There is a saying that we should always go out there to explore more things. I apply this on food exploration. We spotted this grill bar one night after dinner. What attracts me was skewers and beers. Convenience and refreshing with a beer. Grilling is kind of heaty somehow.

Before 8pm, $1 per skewer so you can eat as much before the time is up. Simply fill up the order form and pass it to the server. They have others on the menu like noodles, oysters, a few to name and they are reasonably priced. Minimum order of 2 sticks for some skewers and you get to choose how you want your food to be seasoned. From original, Chinese seasoning, lightly salted and so on. 

Last but not least, 1 for 1 beer. Tiger or Heineken. Or Kirin. $12 for 2 pints. I remember the first time, I got my Tiger for $1 but was limited to 1 for 1 customer. I guess their promotion changes once a while for drinks. So do look out for their Happy Hour promotion. Till 8pm too.

Recommend you peeps to try their oyster topped with minced garlic, which cost $5.80 for one. Already vouched by my hub and my bff. I would think it is fresh because my hub has a sensitive taste bud towards freshness of food. So hope you peeps like. 

Now let me bring you through my food talk.









The only thing to note is their seating capacity is quite limited because of the small shop place. So come early. Cosy and nice ambience. You get to see the chefs grilling your food live. The setting is just like those Japan ramen shops. 

A great choice for budget diners. Decent food and reasonably priced. Try is to believe.
