With the opening of Thomson-East Coast Line, secluded neighbourhoods with good restaurants are now more accessible. Springleaf is one of them, and if you find yourself in the area this weekend, here are nine places to eat at.

A residential district between Upper Thomson and Mandai, Springleaf is bordered by Upper and Lower Seletar Reservoir on each side.  It’s also close to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. This proximity to nature makes the area incredibly lush.
