AMK Park McDonald
is the favorite restaurant for family, students and friends who are living nearby Ang Mo Kio.It is opened 24 hours so it also attracted those people who are “nocturnal” and provide a good place to find food after midnight or 24 hours.It is situated within the Ang Mo Kio West Garden and it is usually very crowded.I have visited this McDonald many times and the things that attracted me is the atmosphere of this outlet.It is surrounded by greenery as it is in the park and the non-aircon part of the restaurant is beautifully landscaped with small ponds and waterfall structures.The restaurant is divided into indoor, outdoor and a children playground.There are some seats in the outdoor portion which is cater for smokers.The outdoor portion is cooled by the ceiling fans and is pleasant and peaceful to enjoy your meals especially the feeling is like eating in open-air in a beautiful garden.
