HJ Bistro: Local Food and Live Entertainment at Marina Country Club

HJ Bistro at Marina Country Club in Punggol brings together local food, live band performances, karaoke, darts and pool under one roof. The bistro's tagline sums it up: local food, 'live' entertainment, karaoke, darts and pool — a genuinely social dining and entertainment venue rather than a straightforward restaurant.

From there, the menu expands into a substantial BBQ seafood and stir-fried section, featuring dishes like BBQ Stingray, BBQ Ang Kar Prawn, Gong Bao Chicken, and a wide range of stir-fried vegetables and shellfish in sambal or garlic.

For bar bites, the menu covers everything from classic fries and wings to Truffle Fries, Mentaiko Fries, Har Cheong Gai and Sinful Crispy Chicken.
