2. Food and Accommodation
a) Food
Food will not be provided. We suggest that you bring your own food from the mainland as the restaurants in Ubin are unpredictable in the amount of food available, and they tend to close as early as 8pm. No muslim restaurants selling halal food at night in Ubin too. You are advised to bring your own food, beverage packets, drinks and snacks. Water at the chalets is not drinkable, if you'd rather not boil your own water, bring bottled water. Kettles are available at the lodge and chalet. You can bring packets of instant coffee and tea, or noodles too, if you like. Cooking facilities are available at the chalet. Both chalet and lodge have refrigerators.

b) Accommodations
We have booked accommodations at the Civil Service Club Lodge (36 beds) and 2 chalets (16 beds). We will try our very best to segregate the sexes to different rooms. There are male and female toilet facilities. Showers available. Very clean. All rooms are air-conditioned, bedsheets, blanket and pillow are provided (but not towels).
