Ubin Town

Ubin Town is the heart of Ubin.

As you leave Ubin Jetty and turn left (westwards), the first eating establishment you come across is Pak Ali's Malay Stall which serves the best lontong in Singapore (only on Sundays though, and it sells out very quickly).

Along the 'main road' is the soon-to-be-opened Ubin Green House by the Green Volunteers Network. More about Ubin Green House on the focus ubin forum.

Further down the road, more bicycle rental shops and more eating establishments. The restaurants serve home-cooked seafood and other local dishes. They can be quite crowded during weekends at peak mealtimes.

In the centre of town is the wayang stage which has a colourful history.

Nearby are provision shops that stock almost everything you could possibly need on your daytrip and offer fresh coconuts and other delicacies of the island.

There is a temple tucked away in a corner.

Moving further along in this direction, you will pass the Ubin Volunteer Hub (previously the Community Centre). The Basketball Court facing it is a conveniently place to start off large groups visiting Ubin. Cycling groups, student outings and even the Chek Jawa public walks start here.
