4 min readMar 22, 2019

Citrus by the pool

Situated right beside the swimming complex all the way at Woodlands, this hidden gem has been overlooked by many. Great place to have a good meal before and after a good swim with friends and families.

Citrus By The Pool introduces more than 20 new dishes, drinks and desserts to its menu. Expect more side dishes, burgers, milkshakes and desserts.

BIG Boss Burger (Double Patty) Beef & Mutton ($17.90)

This burger brings a local twist to the conventional burger by using satay sauce for that explosion of flavors at the first bite. Idk about you but this is the first time i have heard of anyone combining the best flavors of beef and mutton in 1 patty leh. Accompanied with crispy fried onions, sliced tomato, cucumber and crisp lettuce and purple cabbage slaw. Served with a basket of Cajun fries.

Catch of the Day: ($16.90)

Pan-seared salmon served with seasonal vegetables, mashed potatoes and cream sauce. A well-cooked pan-seared salmon should have crispy skin but retains its tender flesh and this is exactly what was served. Seasonal vegetables includes sweet potatoes, corn, mushrooms, broccoli and cherry tomatoes.

Cajun Lamb Rack ($21.90)

Pan-fried lamb rack seasoned with cajun spices, served with seasonal vegetables, and mashed potatoes, topped with their homemade brown sauce. There is no smell of old sheep’s meat and it’s probably because of their marinade. Scrumptious dinner!

Tom Yum Seafood Pasta 🍝 ($13.90)

Fresh prawns, squids, mussels with linguine, served in their signature tom yum broth. I am a huge fan of thai food!! The iconic tom yum flavours — sour and spicy sauce coats the pasta so well. If you love the tart and hot of a tom yum broth, this dish is the true flavor bomb for your taste buds.

Turkey Bacon & Chicken Ham Carbonara ($11.90)

Turkey bacon and tender chicken ham with linguine, served in a rich cream sauce and sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. I love how creamy this is! A heavenly convergence of cream and cheeses create these decadently silky and creamy sauce that goes so well with the al dente pasta to become the ultimate comfort food!

On top of all the mains and pastas that I have shared, here comes the last part which is the desserts!

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with paddle pop, Thai milk tea and Vanilla ice cream 🍨 ($10.90)

Mighty Milkshakes — Classic Vanilla, Double Chocolate 🍫, Strawberry Gem 🍓 ($8.90)

Caramel Popcorn , Cookie Rush 🍪 ($9.90)

Snickerhead ($10.90)
