Dreaming about dining with the fishes, literally? ? No, we're not talking about sitting in a huge dome and watching schools of fishes swim by as you tuck into a savoury batter of fish and chips ? Instead, float on a river buoy and watch clear streams push you against the currents while waiting for your meal to be served. Castella Cafe makes any mermaid's fantasy come true with their in-house river restaurant! This isn't merely dining with a view, you're actually IN IT ?

That means scenic nature views instead of city lights and skyscraper buildings ? While they've been around for quite some time (2014 to be exact), it's certainly a hidden gem waiting for your discovery!

Take a moment to soak your tired feet into the clear waters and feel the tingles of tiny fishes kissing against your skin ? Or, jump straight into the river waters and swim with the aquatic creatures! We do recommend bringing a change of clothes and a towel or you'll be freezing through meal time ? For those that aren't hoping to get drenched, enjoy your meal comfortably amidst the huts. Sit back and relax with a cuppa in hand as you take in the sunset during evening time. If your stay seems too short (especially after a long drive), book an overnight stay and enjoy an entire day worth of delicious kampung-style food!

Prayer rooms and toilets are available for you to perform your prayers with ease ? #HHWT Tip: Do give them a call and hold your spots! The last thing you want is to make the journey and be denied entry because there's no tables available. So, are you prepared to dive straight into this, or is it too fishy for you? ?
