Located at the far-flung location of Woodlands Waterfront Park, Rasa Istimewa Waterfront Restaurant opened in 2012, and the restaurant has been gaining a lot of neighbourhood buzz for its excellent halal barbecued seafood dishes which you tuck into while soaking in the lovely views of the Johor Straits.

Situated on a pier off the park, they serve a whole host of seafood dishes in a myriad of styles from Malay Chinese to Western and Thai, but the popular dish on many tables is the BBQ Seafood Combo.

But more than a place with excellent value-for-money seafood, it’s also a reminder of all those non-food elements which make up a great dining experience — in this case, the excellent ambience.
