Colbar's been pretty much a piece of history by itself, with its past stretching to the 1950s; way past most of our time. Built originally to serve British soldiers, the bar eventually stayed on even after Singapore's independence. The original location of Colbar was moved to facilitate the building of PIE, with it being dismantled and rebuilt at its current location not far from where it used to stand. Much of the colonial flavour still retains; old photos, plastic seats and wooden boards are all over the restaurant. Expect no fancy fare here; it's all no gimmicks serving rather mediocre but clean-tasting food that's all simple yet delightful, seemingly as though using recipes way back in their heydays as well.
