Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

Going back to nature sounds wonderful... in theory! If you'd rather skip the heat and insects, and experience the romanticised version of outdoor activities, have a picnic at The Secret Patio's pop-ups, dine in an indoor garden cafe, or go "camping" at Escape 城市.逃离.

Camping-Themed Ambience at Escape 城市.逃离 Restaurant

Located at Vision Exchange, an 8-minute walk from Jurong East MRT, the new camping-themed restaurant is designed to look like a serene forest with faux greenery and a winding path between gravel and artificial grass. In place of traditional dining tables and chairs are camping tables and folding chairs.

Diners will enjoy a camping experience with all its charming and aesthetically pleasing aspects, and without any of its discomforts. The space is air-conditioned, of course, and there's no mud or mosquitos to worry about.

A glowing "moon" and a canopy of dangling lights resembling shooting stars complete the romantic ambience.

To top it all off, diners will also be entertained with live music.
