Tucked away in the west, the quiet estate of Sunset Way is Clementi’s best kept secret. Most of us might not even know of its existence!
But if you happen to stay in the vicinity, or feel like exploring a relatively unpopular place, you’d soon realize that there are actually quite a number of things you can do there.
Here are 7 things for you to check out the next you are in the area:
1. Café hop in the most unassuming of locations

Spice up your Instagram feed with these instaworthy desserts! One cafe you should visit is Buttercake n Cream, famed for their chocolate pudding and other homemade desserts. Order a cuppa from The Tiny Roaster a few doors down, which brews the much raved about coffee. Over at Drips Baker’s Playground, get tempted by their glass display of pretty quiches and tarts.
2. Brunch: oriental-‐style

Alternatively, go for the wide variety of dimsum available at Foodpark. They come at pocket-‐friendly prices, and definitely give the salted egg custard buns a try!
3. Go for old school cakes and pastries

Not many know this, but The Daily Scoop opened their first outlet here at Sunset Way. Indulge in a scoop of homemade ice cream, which tastes even better on top of a waffle!
5. Take a good walk and enjoy a rare moment of tranquility

So what do you do after all the good food? Take a stroll along the Ulu Pandan Park Connector and enjoy the tranquility of your surroundings. You may even catch a glimpse of kingfishers and komodo dragons if you’re lucky.
6. Explore the abandoned railway track

Trek this hidden railroad as an alternative to the one at Bukit Timah. There’s just something satisfying about hearing gravel crunch beneath your feet. Remember to bring along mosquito repellant though, you have been warned!
7. Take an #OOTD
With foliage that adds a different dimension to your photos and the railway bridge as a unique backdrop, be sure to pose for a picture. What better way to commemorate your visit to Sunset than with an #ootd!
