7 Places To Check Out At Seletar Airbase
The redevelopment of the former British military airbase in Seletar stretches back to 2007, when plans to revitalize the area were unveiled. Fast-forward to today, and the Airbase is now an established place for foodies to head to.
Black-and-white colonial bungalows currently house restaurants in a pastoral setting, making it — like Dempsey — a go-to enclave to dine in. And with the $80 million Seletar Airport set to begin catering to chartered flight passengers as well as to budget travellers, we’ve no doubt that this quaint area is set to become much more bustling.

If you think that Chinese cuisine is a tad incongruous in these settings, you’d be right. But hey, you can’t knock Teochew cuisine, done well. Spearheaded by co-founder and head chef Khoo Tai Guan, expect authentic dishes like the Signature Teochew Cold Crab and Teochew Pan Fried Pomfret (seasonal prices).
Other dishes to try are Crayfish Porridge ($20 for a small portion) and the Fried Noodles with Shrimp and Honey Glazed Pork ($6 for a small portion). This flagship outlet at The Oval can seat up to 140 people, ideal for large family gatherings or company dinners.
Di Wei Teo Chew Restaurant is at 1 The Oval.
