Huge Red Chairs, Few Power Points, Fabulously Nice Coffee and cakes and Beautiful Interior Design....
Pacific Coffee is one of the few coffee franchises that offers comfy couches for customers to laze around. A perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon. This outlet at the Vivo city has a library theme. There are some really classics story books laying around for you to read them for leisure.
With the huge sits, one could not but feel AT HOME... The wonderful aroma of the exotic coffee beans lushes the air..... If you like Alfresco style.... You might wanna sit outside and enjoy the ocean breeze... They have these really nice swing benches for two...... Sitting on it really makes you feel young...
Totally agree with Leenie! Kallang McDonalds is the best place to go!
This is the place where I spent most of my weekends and some weekdays noon at. Especially during the school holidays. My bf and I will drive up, park at the Free parking lots and spend the whole afternoon at Kallang McDonalds, either marking worksheets, preparing presentations, writing papers or mugging for exams.
With the Free power sources around the place, no wonder so many business people who works out of office would gather there for meetings or checking emails and surfing the net.
The corner booth seats next to the toilet is my favorite spot. But they're usually taken up. And there's no power point at those seats. Except for one furthest away from the toilet which has a point nearby, but not long enough for the usual labtop cables. So some even brought their own extension chord!! McDonalds should have more of such facilities for their standalone outlets like Kallang's.
I'm giving this outlet 5 stars for their generosity for providing so many power points for customers and never complaining or "chasing" anyone away even if they sat there entire day with just a purchase of a EVM.
If you happen to be there often too, share your experience here too! Who knows, maybe we might have seen one another before! (hmm... maybe we could have a Yebber gathering one day at Kallang McDonalds! tsk tsk.)
Of all the McDonald's I must talk about this one..... Our childhood memories, our pride, the Kallang Stadium. Eventhough it is now under Renovation, but the McDonald nearby there is still filled with people all the time. The food taste the same everywhere and the fries and sundae seemed ancient to me.. but this outlet has got plenty of power sockets for you to power up the devices especially your Lappy...
What good does it do when you have wireless internet without power sockets?
With this, many can study there, do their homework, do presentations to their customers and other business or sales persons can function from there. It is indeed a fabulous place to work in.. and what more.. there are PLENTY of FREE PARKING all over this outlet..... Food is priced at the same amount but it is more functional here... The location is out of town but not far away from town... Really a perfect place for corporate employees.
There is also an indoor play ground for your kids to play... A perfect place for the family. Can you imagine your Hubby reading the papers, you reading your online magazine on your lappy and your kids having a great time in the playground.. perfect for a non working day.....
Love Japanese Fastfood? Then you must come to MOS BURGER.. EVERYTHING is nice.... I wonder why....
I love burgers but with a tinge of japanese seasoning in them, I love it more.... Ever since i came across MOS Burger when I was a little girl Many many years ago, I was so intrigued that i spent the rest of my week having MOS Burger's Burgers for the rest of the week.
The Burgers, each nicely wrapped with soft and juicy fillings are simply irrisistable. My favourite is the MOS CHEESE BuRGer.... I love the many chopped onion soaked in delectable sauce and the OH Sooo... Yummy Myo....
My Dad and Bro loves the rice burgers. be it chicken or beef. They love the thinly sliced juicy beef cooked to perfection.... The Fries are normal but do ask for that extra sinful Myo... it sure goes well with the fries...
The corn soup is also very very nice especially with a huge dose of pepper. Not forgetting with the japanese salad with the refreshing sauce.
The next thing i loved most is the ICE MILK TEA... really creamy creamer they use.....
If you love ice cream or MILK SHAKES.. you must try their COFFEE SHAKE... its fabulously...... YUMMY... so creamy with a thick coffee flavour.
Ready for a FEAST..... Then you must come to HOOTERS.... I am not just referring to a feast of food, but also an eye feasting.
Whenever i walk pass HOOTERS.... It is not the food that attracted me, but the OWLs? Thats when OWLS have sexy tight butts in that OH SO SEXY HOT PANTS... n that so tight teeney weenie T-Shirt.....
HUSH HUSH..... I am an all Man girl and i LOVE MEN.... But I enjoy appreciating beautiful things, especially that of my fellow Sex....
So one day, Me and my friends decided to go for the HOOTERS EXPERIENCE and boy.... I just can't stop the boys from drooling all the time.... The food was OK... American style.... but the girls were so distracting.... Or perhaps i should say the boys were irritating.... They kept asking for more attention, requesting for this and that and ordered alot of snack and beers.... and subsequently asking the ladies for their contact numbers.. you know the USUAL.... They are exactly like the OWL, stalking at the waitresses walking here and there... at the same time acting indifferent.
The beer and the snacks is good... Then again.. the beer is always good... The chicky WINGS are fabulous... well marinated, crunchy and juicy...
But i am really impressed with the service of the waitresses. They are very friendly and nice, and they know how to reject you gently while providing alternatives at times.
For the Fun and the Good Services... Now i know why OWLs have got BIG EYEs........
Cheap and good is what I call this Chicken Rice Stall.
It was love at first sight! Ever since I took my first mouthful of the rice and chicken with their chilli, I knew immediately that this is what I'll be having for a long long time.
As a fan of chicken rice (I don't take char siew or any food with pork/lard) I give this stall 4 out of 5 thumbs up. I'll order their set everytime I have it. Paying just $3.50 for a plate of boneless chicken, vegetables, rice and soup. Where can you find such a cheap chicken rice meal? I remember paying $5.50 to $6 for a set exactly the same at Food Courts.
The meat is served with cucumber, a slice of tomato and few pieces of archar. Texture of meat is just right and it isn't too oily. The chilli is good too. Trust me. Cos I'm a chilli freak! LOL!
Ayurvedic Salon is a little shop situated at Katong Shopping Centre. It's on the outside facing the main road. Near the Zhi Cha stalls.
I chanced upon this shop last week and was greeted by a sweet Indian lady. She's the only one in the shop but she doesn't speak much English. She's very polite though and not pushy at all.
She did eyebrow threading and upper lip threading on me. It wasn't very painful and she was patient and very thorough. I paid about $11 for both which is reasonable.
I think the best part was that I didn't have any pimples or whiteheads after the threading. It sometimes happens when I go to other places (more expensive places) so I think I'm really satisfied with her service and would definitely visit her regularly.
She also has traditional hair treatment, henna and facial treatments. Quite interesting really. But as it's a one-man outfit you'd have to call the number to make sure she's open before you go! :)
**Update**
I was just there again today. In fact I have been to this place regularly for the past few months. I like the service here and they are not pushy about their services and products which I find such a relief.
I had my usual threading done then I had a head-shoulder massage for my aching neck. It was great! My head feels so much lighter. while doing the massage, Pooja even suggested some things I can do at home to improve the condition of my hair, without trying to sell me anything at all. Isn't that really rare? Do check them out!
Central is a cafe chain with outlets at Vivo, Tampines and Ngee Ann City... And this one in the basement of Parkway Parade.
Today is not my first time there.. it should be the 3rd trip already. I can't remember what I ordered during the first two trips but it was just ok. A tad expensive if you consider its price... but this time..
Food ordered
Chicken Chop Noodle Dry
Chicken Chop Cheese Baked Rice
Guess we were in the mood for chicken chop. The outlet was relatively crowded for a weekday evening. But we were tend to quickly and had our orders taken. The food took just a short while to arrive which was good since we were really hungry.
The Chicken Chop Dry Noodle was the really thin noodles (which I like) with some vegetables and two pieces of chicken chop. I like the sauce which was not too salty and the noodles. But the chicken was quite fatty and I couldn't bear to eat about 1/5 of it due to that reason. The soup served with the noodles was great. I finished it, which was rare for me.
The Chicken Chop Cheese Baked Rice had more pieces of chicken in it with tomato and was well covered with cheese. The Cheese had hardened a little by the time it arrived but it was still warm. A tad salty for my taste but my companion thought it to be fine. The chicken bits in this dish were less fatty and more palatable.
This time, it cost us $17. Once in a while would be alright.
I wonder what do you think about READING MAGAZINES on your computer? Well, i think its saves the earth by reducing printing and waste and these days we spend most our time on the computer then anything else.
I recognise the fact that hard copies of magazines and books are still one of our favorites and i can go on and on about the multiple usages of overdue copies of the magazines...
However, i took it as a new challenge to read magazine on my lappy and I found it more interactive and fun then ever. There are thousand and one online magazine shops but i chose ZINIO because of its very good deals. I could get some overseas magazines for just a fraction of its price at the local book store. I do receive some free magazines occassionally with them as well... Its really good.....
You may subscribe or download some free copies of magazine for viewing first. I don't deny that there will be some getting used to... But its good...
Firstly, the magazines are cheaper.... but they arrive more timely then the actual print. It flips just like a normal magazine then again, it is prone to your lappy's Speed. The files are not huge and you may download them into more then one computer. They are also stored online and if you log in at your work computer, you can download the current copy and the past copies right into your 2nd computer at work... Some magazines are interactive... On some pages, you can see videos, music and multiple images on one page.
You must really try it.. Its FUN and It SAVES THE EARTH.....
Me too when to a complimentary massage session at Body Wellness.... The treatment was pretty comfortable, not fabulous but OK....
But i didn't really like the no emotions face the staff put on. Its rather not welcoming. The environment was relaxy... and during my hot wrap therapy, the lady that massaged me were talking with her staff outside my room at the walkway... The partition was thin..... i could hear the exclaimation the laughter and everything else... Talk about resting and relaxing.....
After my session, they showed me into this mean looking room and started to rattle on their packages. I kindly rejected them, but they insisted on telling me more... Coaxing my credit card out of my wallet.... I did not purge.... Just insisted NO.....
I should just say... good range of services... but got much to work on the staffs.
