Pulau Ubin lontong outted in STB advert in the UKs the Guardian: Pulau Ubin - Visit this small island off Singapore’s northern coast and you’ll get a sense of the country as it was a half-century ago — when it was a collection of charming kampongs, or villages. To reach Pulau Ubin, catch a bumboat from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal. The 15-minute voyage will set you back a mere $2.50 (a little over £1). The most enjoyable way to get around the island is on a bicycle, which you can rent from several shops near the Ubin Jetty. A favourite destination is Chek Jawa, an intertidal flat that is home to a number of ecosystems, including a mangrove swamp. Wildlife is abundant on the island, and you’re likely to see fiddler crabs, mudskippers, monkeys and even wild boar. There’s a good chance you’ll be hungry at the end of your ride, so make a point of sampling the super-fresh seafood available at one of the many eateries in Ubin Town. Or visit Encik Ali bin Montail’s place for the famous and incredibly popular lontong (rice cake in banana leaf). Try to get there before they sell out.
