This is located at the Tampines Store along Tampines Ave 10. You can take a free shuttle there from Tampines/Bedok MRT station. Parking is free and plentiful. You can even park at Giant which is opposite Ikea.
It's very crowded during weekends and weekday mealtimes. There are quite a number of people even during weekday off-peak hours. So be prepared!
Some of the most popular food here is the Swedish Meatballs and the chicken wings as mentioned by the other reviewers. However the Meatballs are made of beef which I don't eat. The only one time I did have it... It was quite dry. I guess it was because it was near the bottom of the tray and had been there quite long already. But the cranberry sauce that came with it was tasty. I personally feel that the chicken wings are also a tad dry but much healthier than the ones you find at Hawker Centres. It's less oily but dry because of the same reason.
I usually take the Salmon and chips. I like the fries as they are the fat kind. The salmon is alright, just that the sauce can be a tad thick occasionally. The kids' burger meal is quite tasteless. The burger is just two dry buns sandwiching the meat. Without any sauce it's quite hard to swallow.
However i like the system there. The self service system so that you can "tailor" things the way you like them. I also clear my own cutlery although that is not too successful with Singaporeans.
It's usually $15 for a meal for two adults plus drinks. Of cos if you are an Ikea Member you get the free drinks thingy which is great.
Relatively good place to rest and relax before heading the the rest of Ikea. :)

Cafe Cartel has been in Siglap for a long time... 6-7 years maybe. It's a permanent fixture now. They've recently adopted a 10% service charge (across all outlets) and started to serve the customer, instead of having the customer go pay at the counter. (I prefer the old system actually)
These are my usual orders: Pork Ribs, Chicken Lasagna, Aloha Soda.
I love the Aloha Soda. But well it's the only drink which has remained constant. Due to the change of servers all the time, the blended drinks tend to taste different every time my friend orders them.
The food portions have gotten a little smaller. But still sufficient for one person. The fries that come with the Pork Ribs... have been reduced to about less than 20 bits. But it's the kind I like the fat sort.
The cakes are pretty good. They go half price after 9 every night so that's a good thing if you love cakes.
All in all, I still frequent the place, but it's not really worth the price. 2 people for about $30 ...

Giraffe is situated at Istana Park, right opposite Plaza Singapura. It's a glass building amongst all the greenery. Needless to say it has fantastic ambience with great music playing, perfect for a romantic meal or a chill-out with friends.
The first level is the bar with wine, spirits and some finger food. From what I know, the drinks are fine, but don't get the finger food.
Head to the second floor for the dining area. The servers are all smiley and look welcoming. There are seats inside and outside so you can choose. They have some sofa seats and regular dining ones. :)
They basically serve up international cuisine. We picked quite a bit and enjoyed all. Food was a tad oily for my taste. But they change their menu so couldn't get the exact names of the dishes we had anymore. In the middle of our meal, we decided to change to indoor seats... This was the only glitch in the meal where the servers took very long to respond to us and to help us move in. Other than that, all was fine.
We spent about $40 for the 2 of us so that's pretty regular. :) Good Stuff

This Wanton Noodle is CHEAP CHEAP... $2-$2.50 a plate and the portion is not tiny. Value for money really.
The noodles are cooked just right, slightly chewy. Not for people who likes theirs soft. The char siew is a very wierd red colour but it tastes good. I've yet to eat large fatty bits there. The char siew is always fresh and chewy.
The service is ok, I guess. They're fast. But don't expect any smiles or anything... it's strictly business.
The bad part would be having to find the place itself and not much parking space. :P

Beadyplace is a a blogshop which has been around for more than a year. It's established a good clientele base with many regular customers purchasing from it on a frequent basis.
It boasts a variety of accessories in various styles. In fact there are always some items in each update that are absolutely unique. Even I myself cannot remake them. (Yes I own this blogshop.)
The price range is between $5 - $30, which is dirt-cheap for something unique and handmade. I provides personalised service such as remaking in a different colour or giftwrapping and providing cards.
The only flaw would be that updates are so far apart...

You know how good this place is?
Just to get the pie for my mom on her birthday (yes she requested for the pie and not a cake), I walked round the entire China Square area a few times with a bad tummyache for 1 and a half hours.
The outlet's between two lanes and it's not very easy to see so I think I must have missed it many times, then when I was finally near, I could smell it... Yummy.
A pie could be cut equally into size portions with an egg in each portion and large chunks of chicken in generous helpings of potato. Just one slice would be enough for any meal of the day. It's absolutely yummy.
The staff was also very helpful and full of initiative. Seeing that I was tired from the walk and seemed to be in pain, they escorted me out and flagged a cab for me.
The price is normal for a pie this size. about $18-$20 per pie.
Well lucky for me, they now have an outlet at Parkway. :)

Mix and Match Merchandise is a store in People's Park that sells mainly the components you would need for jewellery making. There are many such shops in People's Park Complex.
But M&M is the only one very well stocked with QUALITY components. They sell a range of those made in China and those made in the US. There's also quite a bit of semi precious stones to choose from, but the variety of stones and beads are not as wide as those shops at Arab Street.
So I would recommend this place, if you're looking for good quality nylon or metal parts.
The staff are very helpful and they are very knowledgeable their products, since they also know how to make accessories themselves. They provide books for you to refer from and you could find the items needed in the pattern you want from their shops.
They have two outlets in People's Park Complex. One's on the first level the other on the second.

Art Friend is one of the most well-stocked places where you can get your art supplies. It boasts a large variety of every single thing you would need for your art piece. They even have art supplies targeted for artists on every level from the kid artist to the professional ones. If they don't have it, they could order it in, if you're willing to wait.
However, the staff isn't very friendly. They will not offer help and are usually found at the counter (if they can be found at all). But you could ask the customers there for help. Plenty of art students there who could give advice.
The pricing of their items vary. Some of the things are much more expensive but they also have bargain items.
I would usually head there if I know that the things I wish to find are quite hard to source for.

This was last Christmas. It was really value for money... 2 days 1 night weekend stay for $148. The room was quite spacious with a tub and double bed. It had those new sort of design where there's a glass between the room and the toilet? Room has a nice sofa and working desk too.
As for the facilities there's a gym, rooftop swimming pool, steam room and a spa on the roof top. They have 2 award winning restaurants... One's Jap and the other's fusion. I've yet to try both as I keep hopping to the Hawker Centre nearby for my favourite Chicken Cutlet Horfun!!
For entertainment you could even go to Pulau Ubin for the day - cycle, fish, paint, etc. Pretty cool really.
It's a real nice getaway place.

I believe this outlet has moved to Siglap - Cresendo building.
Great layout and ambience of place. Everyone was very friendly. No stuck up stylists introducing all kinds of greek hairdressing terms.
Athel cut my hair. I think he was one of the Senior stylists if not the head. He did a good job and kept up some small talk, without being too inquisitive. He wasn't irritating, but reasonable entertaining. After snipping my hair a bit, I had to wait a little for the Shampooing to be done. The receptionist immediately delivered magazines to keep me occupied.
The Shampoo and head massage was well done. The shampoo and conditioner they used didn't have the usual salon smell which i thought was FANTASTIC! It smelt really good.
They also shared some tips with me on how to maintain my hair without too much hassle especially after I told him that I was lazy.
All in all I think it was a good experience for my $37.
