We celebrated Clement belated birthday @ Bottle Tree Village on the 12Jan2007. David and myself were wondering where is this place and we later found out is at Sembawang. It took us 1.5hrs to reach and 1.5hrs back home due to jam and the rain. Can see the burning fury face while David was driving as he thinks this place is reali out of the way and is so ulu.. When finally arrived, all were waiting for us before they start ordering. Overall the food were nice especially the "butter squids" and "cereal prawn". Why the place is called Bottle Tree Village? there is a story behind it actually, as there are trees around that have a shape of a bottle in the village and two of the oldest and largest of the bottle trees (named after the bottle-like shape of its trunk) now in Singapore are more than 100 years old and it takes about four adults, holding hands, to hug the tree. A mature bottle tree can grow up to 12 metres tall. Interesting huh!! But David and myself dint even have a peep on that as was raining and was too dark to be spotted then.
