    Uno Beef House, one of the best place for cheap and good steak!

    Was introduced by a colleague and was hooked onto it. Be prepared to wait up for an hour for the food to arrive pipping hot in front of you! Need to have patience for good food, that is how popular is that place.

    The coffeeshop is not easily accessible yet able to have crowd, so this show the food is really good there!

    I recommend the sirloin steak ($10) which comes with a special deep fried mash potato ball. Together with its mushroom sauce, it is almost prefect.

    Why almost? Well I ordered medium rare, even though, it came in the right tone, outside cooked and inside raw. I was slightly disapointed that the steak did not ooze out any blood when I sliced it. A bit too dry for my liking.

    The coleslaw and the chicken wings are also worth a try. Heard that they added in some durian in the coleslaw, I could not taste it out though.

    The owner of the place is friendly and is open to all comments.

    Will definitely go back for the steak again!

    GV Vivocity expecially GV Max is my top choice when going to the movies.

    Reasons being:

    1. Loved the large leg space. Dun have the feeling of being cramped any more.

    2. Large screen. Jz loved it! Haa...

    3. Great sound system.

    4. The layout of the cinema. Spacious and wide! Do not have the feeling of like being in a very cramped place.

    5. Many ticket counters and snack counters as well.

    The only thing I dun like is the exit point of the cinemas, tend to led out all the way out of vivocity and need to make a loop to go back to the shopping centre again.

    Value for money buffet...

    After a whole day without food, we went to Sakura for buffet dinner. Each pax $28 7%gst on weekends and $26 7%gst on weekdays. Price wise, its considered one of the cheapest buffet around. Serving quite a wide spread of Japanese food (sushi, sashimi, tempura, tepanyaki etc), Dim Sum, Chinese cooked food and yummy cakes.

    We've been there many times for their high-tea buffet which consists of just sushi and sashimi. This was our first for their dinner. And we were satisfied with the entire experience. The food is good (not very good), taste wise still alright (after eating that much, the taste just blended) and the choices were alright for the price.

    Can take a peep at what they serve in the photos I've uploaded. These are just 1/3 of what they have there.

    204. Bab Noodle   
       26 Sep 2007 at 12:54 am
    claud claud says:

    Was at Millenia Walk with two girlfriends and I wanted to try out Abof, but the price was alittle high for a casual dinner. So we went to Bab Noodle. Although the name suggested that they serves noodle, but I saw my rice on the menu. To change the rice to noodles is an additional $2. Shouldn't they call it Bab Rice then?

    Anyway, the 3 of us ordered 2 starters to share and a main each with iced lychee tea for all of us. There were 3 lady staff at work. And as it was late already, the place was rather empty. We were given all the attention we needed. So this was great. Except for my missing straw in my drink, and the fallen spoon from my table. Other than that, the service was great.

    Now the food... the starters - Pidan with cold tofu and Seafood tofu were great! Love the taste. As for the main, I was contemplating between the Sukiyaki Beef Set and the Stew Beef with Karrage Chicken Set. I asked the lady who took our order which she recommends, and Sukiyaki was her choice. So I gave that a try. The serving was rather big for me. I was too full only half way through the set. But then the main problem came when I reached home couple of hours later... yap... had a "blasting" time in the loo... perhaps its the beef. As there were some that I thought looked weird. Or again, might be due to the combo of food I had for dinner. Lucky for me, I feel better now after the blasting.

    Total spent by the 3 of us was $58.40.

    For the service and attention, I give 2 stars and for the value-for-money set meals I'm giving another. Not going to rate the food as my experience was probably uncalled for.

    205. White Dog Cafe

    Went with my lady boss, boss, 2 colleagues, and 2 8-year-olds to White Dog Cafe on a Saturday evening at around 8 plus. There was no queue though the place was quite filled with the dinner crowd. We were told to wait for about 5 minutes for a table of 7.

    The manager or supervisor on duty was quite friendly, got his staff to hand out the menus so we could think about what we want to order first.

    We were ushered to our tables in less than 3 minutes. We were given a bottle of water to serve ourselves. Would have been better if they did so for us, since we are paying for service after all!

    We paid a total of $157 inclusive of 10% service charge and 7% GST for the following dishes:

    1 Lobster Bisque $8.50
    2 Mushroom Soup $13
    1 Clam Chowder $6.50
    1 Calamari $6.90
    1 Mangolicious (ice blended drink/dessert type) $7.50
    1 Pacific Dory (fish n chips) $15.90
    1 Duck Confetit $19.90
    1 Chicken Leg $Carbonara
    1 Forest Pizza $12.90
    1 Pesto Scallop 15.90

    The calamari came really fast. Made me wonder if it was simply heated up in the microwave. But the calamari is a must try! Yums! Even the boss who is a food critic raved about the calamari sauce. It's maiyonnaise with this tinge of garlicky taste. And some shreds of salad as side.

    The mushroom soup for the children arrived. Kids preferred the creamy campbell type whilst us adults love this form.. in which the soup is made with real grinded mushroom bits! Awesome!

    The lobster bisque is well flavoured, no fishy smell but a little salty. Especially since we had the clam chowder after the lobster bisque. Clam chowder tasted just right, not too thick.

    The carbonara's aint overly creamy, one of the better carbonaras I've tasted. (I'm a pasta fan!) And the bacon strips make it enjoyable to chomp on.

    Fish and chips was above average, the fish was well battered, and soft enough to the bite (not too cooked).

    The pesto scallop was pasta made with squid ink. It's quite an acquired taste. I won't say I like or hate it. It's okay.

    The pizza (in 6 slices) contains an assortment of mushrooms (can't recall the types) and the children like their pizzas.

    The Chicken Leg was served mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce. Succulent.

    The duck confetit came with mesclun salad and was a little dry. But still crisp enough for us.

    I have to say that the manager really take care of the nity grity details of the customers. Like the chair my lady boss was sitting on was the plasticky type, not that it was uncomfy but he went the extra mile and offered to replace the seat for my lady boss with the cushiony type.

    Overall food quality: 8/10
    Overall service quality: 9/10

    The food portions were just nice, too much and one will be overstuffed! Too little, and the kiasu singaporeans in us will complain. We managed to finish EVERYTHING among the 7 of us! And left very satiated.

    Unfortunately, we were all too busy enjoying the food to take any pictures.

    206. Secrets At Eleven

    "Oh nice nails! Where did you do it? "

    'Sh... its a secret..."

    Secrets at Eleven is a relaxing and very nice place to get your pretty nails. Located on the second level (above Happy Daze). The decor is simple and welcoming. I had my meni done at their balcony. Imagine, relaxing on a big arm chair, with open view of the happenings below me and the friendliest manicurist. 2 other friends can sit next to you by the balcony and together have your nails done up, drink a cup of nice warm tea and catch-up with the latest happenings in life.

    The manicurists know their products very well and their service and skill is good. When come to choosing colors for the nails, they'll try on every color you want to see on each of your nails so that you can see exactly how it looks like on your hands. (I ended up with 10 different color on my fingers!) This is great cos you'll not regret only after all the nails were painted. They wouldn't rush you and they'll be more than glad to try on as many colors as you want so that you're happy with the decision.

    For just $23 for a classic mani and $33 for a classic pedi, Secrets at Eleven is the place to go with your girlfriends!

    207. Project Smitten   
       14 Sep 2007 at 12:06 pm

    I'm loving every bits of this new magazine! Saw this new magazine at the newsstand and was attracted by its name - Smitten. Curious to know what's it about, I picked it up and glance through the cover and saw that this copy is their debut issue and topics looks pretty interesting.

    Project Smitten is the name of the magazine. (Smitten reminds me of kitten. Small, cute, playful, fun, pretty and mischievous!)

    Flipping through the pages of Smitten and I'm greeted by the faces behind Smitten. In Smitten picks, the key ladies in Smitten share they favorite picks for the month. This gives me, as a reader, feel closer to the magazine as I'm able to match the names to faces. Loving this!

    Every page you flip to, you'll find the trendiest and uber stylish fashion. Best of all, they show you exactly where you can get them! Even the cute little puppies.

    Another section I love is the spy section - spy now and smitten spy. You'll be able to find rare finds and hidden treasures locally, internationally and in the www in these sections.

    The smitten decorate pages are also one that I simply adore! I love everything pretty, cute, quirky and cool. Decorate now shows you where you can find these cool stuff to add on to your collection. Great pages to flip through if you're considering buying unique gifts for your friends.

    Smitten is one mag that I'm so going to subscribe!

    Oh, did I mention about the Smitten Society card that gives you great discounts during the Smitten Shopping Week? Go grab a copy of smitten to find out!

    *****Updated 6 Jan 2008*****
    Was delighted to have received my first subscribed delivery from Project Smitten (Jan/Feb08) this morning at my doorstep. Since I’m at my CNY shopping mood, I quickly flipped the pages and see what they’ve in store for us. Spotted a “Hot Buy” of a bag organiser from M)phosis on page 55 of this issue and wanted to get one for myself. Went shopping at Bugis Junction and stopped by M)phosis to ask if they’ve stock for it. Looks like, I’m not the first who was there to ask about this bag.

    The salesgirl asked which magazine I saw this bag in and told me that the bag I was looking for was from months ago! They no longer carry it! I asked if they’ll be bringing in more, she said it depends.

    I was quite upset that this thing happened. Why does a fashion magazine publish a product that was already not on sale? I was very pleased with their content once. But after this incident, and many other which I’d heard (from their facebook group), I guess they’ve got to improve a lot more to gain back the trust from existing subscribers and attract new ones.

    Dropping my 5 stars rating to 3.

    208. Yummy O Donuts

    Yummy O? Yet another donut outlet for the craze for donuts. Was it really Yummy?

    Ever since don't know when, the craze for donuts picked up and everyone in Singapore was taking leave and skipping lessons just to queue for a box of donuts. Similar to many other craze fab, everyone wants a piece of this fab pie "while the rod is hot". So everywhere I go, I see some kind of donuts outlet and if there's not a long queue, I'll go get some to try it out. (Famous or not famous, rewarded or not rewarded.)

    The drifting fragrance of the donuts lured me towards the stall hidden at the corner of White Sands (among OCK and other snack stalls). Curious to find out what they have to offer, I went to take a peep. And the heart shaped donuts and mocha flavored ones tempted me to buy and try. Something different from the other donuts is that they donut prices are fixed. No bulk discount even if you buy 6 or 12 in a box. (Maybe that's why there wasn't a queue?) And one plus point for this is the packaging. Instead of just placing your donuts in a big box, they have this plastic tray that separates the donuts in the box, I thought this was helpful, so you don't have to worry about them pushing against one another inside the box.

    Now, the most important element is the taste and yumminess of these donuts. They claimed to be the only donut awarded with an award by Singapore. (can't remember by which organisation) but I'm having second thought about it. My mum agreed with me too. I told her I didn't have to queue for these donuts. And later when she tried one, she told me those I queued for tasted better. These donuts were too sweet and the dough taste just like any bread with fillings from the usual bakeries. Other than this, I don't know what else to comment on the donuts. Sure not how their name suggests.

    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.)

    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!
