Because of its history and heritage, Seletar Aerospace Park is a charming enclave that offers surprisingly good dining options.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There is something that is rather incongruous in Seletar Aerospace Park. Despite its futuristic name, the park has few modern structures, and is actually home to numerous heritage buildings.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because, in the 1920s, the British colonial government developed the area to house a Royal Air Force (RAF) Station that served Singapore from 1928\u20131971. The RAF personnel and their families lived in those quaint but spacious black-and-white bungalows, some of which were later slated for conservation as part of The Oval at Seletar Aerospace Park. These bungalows now house restaurants, spas and shops. Here are some dining spots to check out.<\/p>\n
