    Bought from them online and received an email confirmation as well as the assurance that someone will call me for the delivery. However there was some mistake as their system recognized the wrong thing and in actual fact there wasn't any discount for me. There was an email to explain this and they were very polite about it.

    The next day there were 2 calls which I missed so they smsed me instead. However, I wasn't able to meet the time schedule so the person said he will contact me the next day if he could meet his delivery schedule. Since I needed the things urgently as I am going overseas, I asked the person whether he could deliver the things and even though most of his deliveries were in the East (I'm in the West) he took the time to deliver to me as late as 11pm so that I could have my goods.

    Excellent service and I also find the items reasonably priced. Will most probably get my things from them in the future.

    Went there for the first time in my life last 2 weeks and this place added to my interest watching the movie I watched. This place is definitely clean, brightly lit and comfortable to be in. Even my long legged husband sat comfortably in his seat. He normally felt squashed in theaters.

    There are 2 booths for tit bits, drinks and food. The normal pop corn and coke and another one selling small food stuffs like cakes and sandwiches. I won't be having dinner at Secret Recipe if I've known it before hand.

    However 1 glitch was my friend booked the tickets online but when he went to collect the ticket, he was told it was actually at another venue. My friend said its impossible since he double confirmed he got it at the correct cinema during the booking. Nevertheless, the crew managed to transfer the tickets over so that we won't waste our trip there.

    Ate at Secret Recipe as we had wonderful experience with the food at Secret Recipe Malaysia. We are definitely and absolutely stupid to think that if the quality of food is the same at the Singapore branch.

    My chicken Cordon Bleu looked like (all 4 opinions) : Sweet potato deep fried and there's hardly any cheese in it, just a bunch of ham and chicken a bit of cheese here and there. Compared to the time at KL that I've eaten, where the cheese will flow out when we cut the chicken. Dry texture and not much taste. This dish certainly failed. My husband ordered Black Pepper Chicken chop with rice and my husband's comments were:"the sauce tasted a bit strange."

    Besides that, we were told that plain water is at the cost of $0.50 and since we couldn't find anything we liked in the menu, we decided to get plain water instead. When it came, we were speechless as the so called plain water is just bottled cold distilled water. Its not even the 500ml types but the 300ml type that was just sufficient to fill a cup. The meaning behind the bottled water was that it cannot be refilled. So There~!

    Since a main dish cannot really fill my husband's stomach, he decided to order the cakes. As Secret Recipe was well known for having its cake menu half unavailable, we raised our hands to ask the service crew what were available. As expected, none of the crews came over. Nor did they look around or walk around but just hover at the payment counter. That happened when we raised our hands to order our food too.

    However, a read up on the reviews will show that there were many positive reviews on the cakes they served. Its too bad that the service crew made us turned off otherwise we would have ordered the cakes and my review of it won't be too bad.

    Totally can't understand why the queue would always be so long at this stall. Kind of exaggerating.

    It's over-rated. I've tried eating from this stall before once due to curiosity. The rice was so so, not much taste. The fried chicken wing tasted like it had been kept for more than a day, and the meat near the bones looked bloody. The fried egg was also very oily.

    Will not think of going back to this stall...especially when the queue is often very long and the food is not nice.

    Had my birthday cake from here- Strawberry shortcake.

    It was 21cm and cost $32.

    It's a vanilla sponge cake layered with strawberry slices. The strawberries were sweet and fresh and there were many slices of them in the cake.

    The cake was soft and tasted very good.

    The whipped cream was also not bad and it was not heavy.

    After having had this cake for my birthday, I introduced this to my group of friends. We bought it for a friend's birthday, and after trying it, they all were satisfied with this cake even after a full meal of steamboat.

    I always don't understand why there'd always be long queues for this restaurants. I never liked dining there.

    The seating were quite cramp and the service staff were not very efficient.

    I'd tried the lasagna, and a few main courses like seafood combo, and sirloin steak. The look of the lasagna was disgusting, and the taste wasn't apetisizing. The seafood combo was also too oily...made me feel very unhealthy eating it. The sirloin steak was also not tasty enough.

    The drinks also couldn't make it...It seemed like almost every choice of my drinks was a mistake. It either tasted weird or not very nice.

    I will choose not to return to this restaurant.

    The lights in this cinema's ticket box office and the hallway to the theatres are not too dim. The seats in the theatres are also quite comfortable.

    The seats are not cramp at all and there's enough space for my legs (I have long legs). My neck doesn't ache at all too.

    The air-conditioner there is also not too cold for me unlike in other cinemas. I don't have to bring a jacket there. =)

    So far this is my favourite cinema for watching movies.

    1408. The Singapore Flyer

    Had free admission to this Singapore Flyer with my colleagues.

    When proceeding to the flyer on the 2nd level, it was like entering the gates in airport terminal. Kind of weird.

    We were then ushered to take a photograph at a "dummy" flyer capsule.

    The ride in the capsule itself was fine. But in my opinion, not fantastic. It was too slow for me - 30mins for one single round. It made me feel bored and sleepy for the later half of the time.

    I think there wasn't much to view. Whatever that could be viewed could be viewed in other tall buildings like hotels or office building. The ride was not bad but I think it cost too much.

    I don't really like watching movie here and will normally avoid coming here for movie.

    The seats are not very comfortable despite there's quite alot of space for the legs.

    The back support of the seat is bad and headrest is protruding, thus it causes my neck to ache, and causes me to feel giddy and headache.

    The directions to the specific theatres are also not very clear.

    Wasn't very pleased when I tried Ice Monster in Plaza Singapura. It was not as good as the one in Bencoolen.

    Of course the prices of the desserts were the same but the quality and taste of the desserts lost to the ones in Bencoolen.

    The desserts tasted average and the ice didn't taste milky enough at all.

    Doubt would go back there...

    I'd go to the one in Bencoolen instead.
