I found this place without much problem as it's located near the Raffles Place MRT. The exhibits were interesting as I found that some of the cultures have stronger influences than the rest.
There are well-placed self-help guides and detailed information for each exhibit. Walking around is a breeze and there are benches available for those who are tired.
I like the fact that the place is wheelchair friendly. However, some of the exhibits for interaction aren't that friendly for wheelchairs which is a pity.
You can even place your bags in the lockers provided so you can roam around with less things to carry.
I am rather disappointed. Even when the selection of songs have been upgraded to using remote control method, I have a lot of difficulties with the room that we were given.
Problems
1. The remote was not sensitive or too sensitive at different times.
2. Attempts to select "All songs" for any singers had the menu jumped to other singers.
3. The mic provided were too soft.
4. Changing to Singer mode resulted in louder music.
Mostly, technical problems plagued the place. Otherwise, it would have been a more enjoyable session with friends.
It was our first time to dine at Sakae for this branch. I was more used to be sitting next to the conveyor belt rather than just at a table.
The four of us had to sit near the entrance because there wasn't any space left. Thus, we asked if the place allowed booking but unfortunately, the lady didn't seem to understand my question that well or I couldn't understand her. We could book but there is a time limit. That didn't answer my question exactly. A simple yes or no would have suffice if we could book a table for Fridays.
The waitresses weren't that attentive. We had to request for the menu after 5 minutes of waiting for them to attend to us. They were just a step away and could obviously see that we haven't ordered anything.
If not for the crowd, we would have left immediately since we weren't attended too.
The food is almost the same as other branches that I have been too. The space was a little cramped as the outlet had a small area. I felt claustraphobic while dining there.
I went in to try this because there was a promotion going on. The place was quite comfortable. The food was just average. I dislike my soup to be too salty and was rather glad that mine wasn't too salty as I ordered a tomato based ramen.
It was ok to me while the gyoza was good. However, the beef ramen's soup base was too salty. The waitresses were polite and helpful.
It would have been better if they had offered refillable green tea too.
Having been there twice for late night movies, I found the place average. The queues for the tickets and popcorn counters often cut into the entrance to the cinemas.
The cafes in front of the counters take up space in an awkward manner and I find it difficult to navigate from the escalators to the counters when the crowd gets huge.
What I do like is that the person sitting in front won't be blocking my view unless he/she is really very tall. The seats are comfortable.
However, the exits to the multistorey carpark were locked after midnight so we had to go to 2nd level and take the carpark lift to the 6th level after the movie.
The lesson learnt was that the car should be parked at level 1 or 2 or in the open space carpark just opposite the building when watching late night shows.
