Ema’s Diner located at Greenwood Avenue, is formally known as 8 on Greenwood. Opened by the Halia group at the stretch of restaurants along Greenwood. Greenwood is being spoken at the same breath as Dempsey, Holland Village, Rochester Park as the hidden and hot spot to go.

All these used-to be forgotten little outposts of Singapore have been transformed into mini lifestyle destinations of their own. The location of the restaurant is no longer a issue, so long there is the “hot” and “in” place to go, well-travelled food enthusiants living in all corners of Singapore will be willing to travel to other corners as well.

Maybe not known to all, Greenwood Avenue was created by Les Amis group, one of Singapore dining giant. Out of close to 13 restaurants there, 5 belongs to Les Amis Group;

• The Grill at Hillcrest
• Sebastien’s Bistrot
• Peperoni Pizzeria
• Raku Japanese Restaurant
• L’estaminet Bar

The intimate Bistro welcomes you with its fresh flowers on tables, blue and gold decor and open kitchen. Dark wood furnishings, subtle lighting and a candlelight option create a romantic and warm feel. Great seafood platters are a highlight, suitable for appetizers or main courses, individually or shared.

Went with Mister Ang and Mister Ong to Greenwood, its behind NJC, rather hard to go if you do not drive. Luckily for us, Mister Ang got car, haha so we are able to go. When the car turned into Hillcrest park leading to greenwood avenue, we were quite surprise the rather remote place has a whole street of restaurants, western, jap, pizza, u name it they have it.

The external part of the restaurant does not really have the appeal, like the name implies, Greenwood fish market. It is literally a fish market where u can buy their fish, prawn, oyster. But the interior part is diff (see picture) the lights are dim jus nice and its rather small, so make your reservations before going.

Greenwood is quite famous for their fish & chips, many types of diff fish like snapper, sole filet, salmon, barramundi, tusk fish, yellow fin tuna, nz pink snapper and so on. They also had diff style of cooking the fish like pan-seared, baked, steamed, char-chilled, battered or crumbed. Cool huh? haha. So we had quite a dilemma in choosing what fish we wanted.
