It is not easy to find a reliable and honest plumber, therefore, I think it is worth while to post this review.
My interior designer recommended a plumber to check on my water leakage problem. This plumber ( his boss is David ) came empty handedly and I have to provide him with a ladder.
Unforetunately, my ladder was too short and he didn't access the false ceiling to examine the problem area, he simply guess the possible fault. The worse part is that his mobile phone kept ringing and he was busy attending to every single call. I find it very irritating to discuss my problem with him because of the frequent interruption. He seems to be in a rush and told me that he have to come back another day with a longger ladder. But I waited for many days and he did not even call back. I wonder why can't he tell me directly if he is not interested in this small job but rather lost his company's reputation for not keeping his promise.
I have no choice but to ramdomly pick another Plumber from Internet. This guy came without ladder too but he manage to access to my false ceiling with the short ladder. After checking for a
while, he confirmed that the culprit was the water heater tank. He simply told me that both my water heater tanks need replacement and the cost is $1850 for 2 units. I had no idea whether I should replace it because I can't see the condition of the heater at all.
I hesitated because I felt that the price was rather high, so I search for another contractor. This time, I search under 'water heater' and made a few phone calls. Most of them can't provide me with the information and pricing immediately until I came across this company, Dairen. The receptionist answered my call and quoted me
a price of $460 per 10Gallon tank incusive of installation and GST. In the even if the fault lies with the valve control, it can be repaired at $95.
Without hesitation, I asked them to go ahead but requested them to double confirm if the tank was really faulty.
The Technician came equipped in a van with the long ladder and the spare heater tank ( brand new ). After checking, they told me only one tank has a faulty valve. It can be repaired but may not last long because the tank has a little rust. Finally, I replace the tank instead of repairing it and the other tank remain unchanged.
I found that the contractors ( not all, but mostly ) in Singapore are generally un-reliable. I am quite supprised that this company provide such a timely and honest service at such a reasonable price. They can always tell me both tanks are damaged or at a higher price like the previous ones but they didn't. They are well equipped and they can provide neccessary advice and charges on the spot. I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who need to replace water heater or water related services.

Sometimes back, I was told that De Coder's Cafe opened a new outlet in Clementi. The boss is now a friend of mine after some past "commotions" and constructive feedback few of us gave after the unsatisfying meal on my birthday last year. But I'm happy to say that they've improved! Not to the extend that it turned their entire menu around to serve restaurant standard food, but the taste, variety and quality have surely become better.
I visited this new outlet of theirs at Clementi, located at the void deck of a very long flat. About 7-9 mins walk from the Clementi MRT station. The shop is spacious and has the same color scheme as their other outlet at Newton.
As its a neighbourhood, they're also catering for the people staying around with breakfast sets. And I was told this was included in their menu after hearing feedback from their regular customers living nearby. Thumbs up for them for responding to customers request. And I believe, they really want to make their food and service good for everyone.
Food tasted that day includes Nacho Chips & Cheese, Roasted Honey Wings, Americaya, Teriyaki Chicken Chop, Brownie with Vanilla Ice-Cream, Waffle with Gelato Ice Cream, Chocolate Decadence and Oreo Milkshake.
My friend and I love the cheese. It's better than those served at one of the cinema but not as thick as we would have liked it more. But definitely the yummy cheesy taste is there.
Next favorite that day was the Roasted Honey Wings. Roasted to the right texture and the skin is slightly crisp. Marination was good too as the honey has been absorbed into the meat too.
Servings of the main dishes were appetizing and attractive. The size is good to fill up most hungry stomachs.
The late lunch ended with lots of sweetness. Both of us love the waffles and the pistachio gelato ice-cream is of good quality too. I personally love it!
Overall the experience and food has improved. Guess they should already have made the same adjustments too at their Newton outlet. Perhaps if you'd been there before and didn't like the food then, give it another try. You might enjoy it more this time round.

I do not know the name of this store, but I saw the address of a basement store when I was walking to the car park after makan. I thought it is worth recommending and I can still remember the store unit#, therefore I give it a name.
I came to this hawker centre after buying some plastic mesh from Kelantan Road. I do not know what to eat but wanted something with low 'C'. Walking around the food centre and looking for store that has long queue. Suprisingly, there are quite a few store with long queue. One of them is turtle soup and the other is this Mei Xin Fish.
Since Turtle soup is of High 'C', I can easily make up my mind and join in the 'Fish' queue. It is not my usual style to queue for food even if it is nice. I queue up because I find this fish soup a little unique, at least I have not seen or tried this.
The menu is very simple. White set meal and white & black set meal. It took me sometime to digest what is white and black&white. Finally, it is referring to fish slice ( white ) or fried fish ( black ).
White is more expensive than black & white.
To be on the safe side, I ordered white and black - small at $4.00. The queue is quite long, about 10 person. But it moves very fast. They have 4 persons. One lady standing next to the queue to collect order and money. One lady inside arranging the food. One man inside preparing the food and another lady doing nothing at that time.
All orders are standard. Therefore the preparation is very easy. All he has to do is to pour the soup inside the bowl. In less than 10 mins, I have my food collected.
I look at the bowl, there is fried fish, slice steam fish and vegetable. What a good balance. The fried fish is nice and is boneless. The steam fish is nice and is fresh. The veg is normal because it is veg. The soup is tasty and the chilly is hot.
Now I understand why additional chilli cost $0.30 and add soup cost $0.50.
I am very satisfied with this simple hawker food. Must recommend. Of course, it would be even better if they can add fried egg. ( oops, it will increase the C then ).

Comfort food in cosy setting.
Breeks located at the corner of level 3 at T2 is a nice place to chill while waiting for friends to arrive or depart. >.<
Being Halal certified also means that everyone is able to enjoy the food and wide variety of desserts here.
If you're looking for powerpoint for your machines, there's only one (I think) near the entrance on the red wall.
Food here is nice and the serving size fits my tummy just fine. The chicken patty is packed with crunchy onions, and some unknown stuff which I simply ignored. I digg anything chicken and with melted cheese!
The Nutella Milkshake though could be better. The shake isn't thick enough imo.
Looking at the crowd here now, at this hour (yes I'm writing this review while I'm still here) on a Friday night, I guess it shouldn't be a problem getting a table for meal.
Perhaps if I'm going to stay here longer, I might give one of their desserts a try. Anyone wants to join me?

This restaurant looks very 'china' from the outside but quite westernise inside it. Their famous dish is the cold crab but it must be ordered in advanced. I can't magine how a cold crab taste, so I did not give it a try.
We tried the Popiah, smoked chicken, wasabi prawn, crispy tofu, fried brinjai and the Yee Mee. It is quite unusual to have popiah in a restaurant. I personally like to have it at home on some occasion and you can eat as many as you like but not in the restaurant because it can be very filling. The Popiah is quite tasty but a little sautish. The ingredient used is not much different from others but the 'skin' and the sauces are home made and that makes the different.
I use to take wasabi prawn from Pine Valley restaurant. I expect the similar taste here too. Unfortunately, it tastes differently. Firstly, the wasabi used is not spicy at all ( no smoke come out from the nose ). The prawn is fried with flour and therefore a little hard outside. I wil prefer it to be fried without any flour so that it can be a crsipy outside but soft internally.
The smoked chicken is good. I don't know what do they use to marinate it but I believe should be one of their home made sources. Of course being boneless is the main contribution to this dish. It tastes a little different from others and I took quite a lot of it.
The crispy Tofu is interesting. A thin layer of crispy skin to hold the tofu and it melt at the right time as soon as you put it in your mouth.
The Fried brinjai is also their specialty according to the staff. However, I don't really like it because it taste like normal brinjai but with sweet saurce used for 'Chin Chong Fan'. I still prefer it to be fried with 'heibee'.
The restaurant looks clean, simple and tidy although the painting hanging on the wall are a little out of place. The waitresses are freindly and attentive. Reasonable crowd on a weekday afternoon and yet not noisy. It is quite a suitable place for casual lunch if you are inside the business district area.

I was contemplating to buy either Camry or Altis, so I went to this show room to take a look at the car. A sales person attended to me and explain the function and features of both cars to me. The attitude was good and not pushy at all. I test drive the Altis. For around $50K, I guess it is quite a good buy. But I couldn't make up my mind and I told him I need to think about it and decide between Camry and Altis.
Few days later, I went back to the same show room and look for the same sales person. This time, I test drive Camry. At the end of it, the sales person sat down and went through the pricing and comparision between the two cars. He even suggested that I buy a smaller car. I was a little biased towards Camry but the price of Altis is attractive. So I went home without buying. Since I was not ready to buy, I didn't take note of the detail information.
Few days later, the COE price drop to $2.00. I guessed it is time to make a decision. I went down to look for this guy again. He knew I am serious this time and got me all the detail pricing for both cars. Obviously, the price has been reduced. I promised to make a decision over weekend. On the same night, I receive a call from this guy. He said the company receive over-whelming sales and I need to make a decision by next day before 12pm to enjoy the offered price. I asked why is it so. The offer was not that fantastic but rather a reduction of COE plus $500 discount. Furthermore, an offer should not be affected by the no. of cars sold. Infact, the more car sold the better for the company. He said, 'Well, this is business.'
I was not sure whether this is the policy passed down by the company or is it a tactic to close a deal. No doubt, the service from the salesman was good but the offer does not sound sincere to me. How can an offer last only 1 day for an amount of $50k and more. Besides, the next day was a week day and I had other schedule planned. I was almost decided to go with Camry but because of this invisible pressure and inconvenience, I did not go back to them again. 2 weeks later, I got a car from another brand.

Thanks to a dear friend, I got a chance to enjoy their lunch buffet recently. According to her, the variety of dishes has become lesser as compared to before they renovated and moved up the place. Not sure how long ago was that thou.
When I was there, the crowd were mostly the senior citizens who've retired and has lots of time (and money) to spend. There were also families and taitai look-alike there. If not for the lunch meeting, I would probably never have a chance to dine at such a place.
The food though variety is not plentiful, but the spread was good enough for lunch. And the most important thing is that its fresh and taste very well.
My favorite from that day was the Thai Seafood Curry, Fresh Salmon Sashimi, couple of the appertisers and the hazelnut chocolate cake from the desserts bar.
And the highlight at Rose Veranda is the huge variety of tea available free-flow(!!!) for customers. I spent 15minutes going through and deciding which to try. If I had the time, I would have ordered like few options (one after another) to try more varieties.
Rose Veranda is a great place to spend the afternoon with friends over good quality tea and great food. The setting is very comfortable and they've got very comfy sofa seats too.
If you're planning to give it a try, don't forget to call for reservations! Even if its on a weekday!
Next to find chance to try The Line!

Its one of those rare days where you'll find me in a KTV room. But after that night with the crazy bunch, I think I'll be visiting these cosy rooms pretty often! They made KTV so fun and enjoyable! It's the best session I've had in years!
Like all KTV places, there'll be the standard fruit platters and tidbits which you're "forced" to pay for. And imo, the tidbits is to make our throat feel uncomfortable so that we will order more drinks to smoothen it so we can sing more songs/ better. But of course, you can choose not to those these tidbits and let it lao hong (gets soften) over the 4 hours in the air con room.
The collection of songs was great and about 85% of those we selected were of original mtv. The sound system was very good too. Except for one of the mic in our room which couldn't be turned off. The room was just nice for 9 of us, and the sofas were clean and comfortable too.
One thing I learned about singing at KTV rooms is never to go late! If you book the room at 10pm, be there on time. Their clock starts counting from 10pm instead of 10.30pm where we finally got settled in the room. So instead of the full 4 hours of singing time, we sang for only 3.5 hours.
I'm so looking forward to our next session together! Let's try their other outlets too!

Thanks to the food hunters! We managed to have our Christmas dinner at this hidden place. I think I've heard about it before but never really thought of trying it. But no regret after I tried it.
When we arrived, the place was empty with only one table filled. But as the night comes, the place gets very packed with hungry families and friends.
The choice of food is pretty decent, and they're fresh. Agree that the beef was fantastic! We should have ordered more of it! Love the mini custard bao which needs exactly 2mins in the boiling steamboat to cook/ heat it.
Their choice of cooked food though little, but they are of good quality too imo. Love the lemongrass chicken, fried chicken wing, sotong you tiao and cucumbers!
The service staff were helpful too. When the table couldn't put that huge number of plates we ordered, they helped us "throw" all the food into our steamboats too.
And do you know who owns this place? Its Terrence Cao the TCS actor.
Nice place for gatherings and hungry souls.
*No photos caused everyone was hungry and too lazy to take out our cameras! LOL!

With the latest TV drama on Channel 8, I'm sure there'll be an increase of interest among Singaporeans to want to learn more about the Peranakan culture. If you still do not know about it, there's a Peranakan Museum in Singapore!
I visited the museum awhile back and I'm impressed with the collection and details that the curators present at the museum. There's a total of 10 galleries housed within the 3-storey building.
You can learn about the origin, the 12-day wedding, the nonya, their religion and their life in public. With the world’s finest and most comprehensive collection of Peranakan artefacts, you'll sure be spending hours in there exploring and experiencing the Peranakan way of living.
If you're glued to the television set daily watching the drama show, you might want to go check out the museum too. I would recommend joining a guided tour if there's any. This is the best way to learn more about museum.
