Well of course that can't be my review, so let me elaborate more.
Firstly, I would say they have excellent service! They have 2 really friendly salesperson, especially one very outspoken lady, Margaret. She may not be the person with the best fashion sense, but she's good enough to suggest what are more suitable clothes for yourself. She is a salesperson after all, and so of course she has to push her products. But I like the way she does it, in a manner that's not too much that scares people away.
Secondly, this place has really uniquely designed clothes (and for women of all age groups!). I did hear that all these were self-designed. Local products I guess. But it's nothing inferior at all. Wonderfully designed, with tops, bottoms and skirts. For people who look for exquisite sequences, they have it. Wear sequences in a fashionable way! They've got skirts too, with or without sequences. Unique designs, not something I'd say is very common. They've got pants too. What I really like about these pants are that they are (ok, really easy to wear. No zips nothing. Just wear it!) made of really soft material that suits people with different body shape. Big hips small butt whatever it is, you will suit this pants for sure. The cottony feel is soft on your skin and falls down nicely. It's pretty heavy material, but that is why it covers little "flaws" in your body (women will understand this.. ;) )!
Thirdly, the price! I'd say it's not too expensive, with almost everything ranging from 20 to 60, but most of their items are in the 30 range. A good buy I'd say.
For people looking for a different trend, a diversion away from that princess-like dresses or long-tops with leggings etc, this place would be good. It could be said to be like wearing traditional clothes in a fashionable way. I love it!

It's the donut-craze in town, maybe that craze has piped down a little but nonetheless, it's still there. Donut Factory is out of the way and it's definitely ridiculous having to stand there for hours to queue for donuts that aren't super cheap or anything. A better alternative would be Munchy's Donuts I thought. They got place to sit down too, and the shop looks a little more professional than those little shops smacked in the middle of even more little shops.
One thing I really like about Munchy's is that they provide tables and chairs for you to sit there and enjoy your donuts. Plus, they've got drinks too. (And of course the fact that you don't have to queue at all during the off-peak hour...) But the fact that they put their donuts out on display like what you see at places like Breadtalk makes your donut a little less enjoyable as it doesn't have that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
So, I finally got myself my donuts! Munchy's really has some quite unique taste. A lot of chocolate flavoured stuff. But I was kinda disappointed. I think it could be because, generally, donuts are overrated in Singapore. The donuts were not warm nor were they extremely tasty that makes one crave for another. In fact, I got quite sick of it after awhile. I managed to try 4 different halves of donuts. They had one peanut with chocolate that had too much nuts, covering the chocolate taste. Of course if we wanna go into details, some of the flavours are not bad. visually appealing too.
But on the whole, I really must say I'm not very impressed with Singapore donuts..

Between the scale of 1(poor) to 10 (excellent) I give Munchy donut a 2 and Krispy Kreme donut from Sydney a 10.

A nicely decorated restaurant which gives the feel of a small room, they offer 5-star service and quality food. You have a whole list of wine to select from to go with your meal, but the menu for the main course changes once every few months. If and when they do offer this, I highly recommend the Scallop entrée and Wagyu Beef main course. The Wagyu Beef comes with oxtail with foie gras. The waiter may warn you that it has a really strong taste, but I assure you the oxtail and foie gras was a good combination of 2. The beef I ordered was medium rare, extremely tender! Well it’s Wagyu Beef after all, so it’ll of course be good. The best thing was that the natural taste of the beef was not concealed by anything like mushroom or black pepper sauce.
Alternatively, if you’re a seafood lover there’s always lobster! The lobster is very fresh and crunchy upon chewing. Once again, there was minimal amount of sauce on the plate, thus allowing one to taste the natural sweet flavour of the lobster. This, in my opinion, would be less filling however.
As the place seats only 50 at all times, it allows you to enjoy your meal peacefully. In addition, as San Marco is situated at the top level of Fullerton, you get to enjoy a wonderful view of the sky.. (with an exception of the construction site view). The view may not be extremely awesome, but it sure does beat staring at walls. Perhaps due to the small number of customers at all time, service is efficient too and the waiters are patient and polite. It makes your dining experience even more pleasant.
Great place I’d say! But remember to make reservations.

I was given one of the “cabin” seats. Initially, it felt quite cool to be in there. But later I realize that it was one of the lousy seats. Waiters don’t really seem to look out for that little you cooped up in one of those corners, plus the air-conditioning there isn’t strong enough to counter the effect of the warm orange spot light right over your head.
The food, however, seemed fine. I ordered a seafood platter but they were out of cold crabs, so I had a replacement. The platter turned out to be really huge. Their calamaris and prawn fritters were good. The prawns seemed quite fresh, thus making it rather crunchy to chew on. But the platter was so huge it seemed more like it was for 3 people. I like their fries too. But as with all fries, you’ve got to eat it while it’s hot. Their carbonara wasn’t that good though. I thought the base was too thick. No doubt all cream bases are like that, however this was a tad too thick, it made it unbearable to finish your plate.
Food and service aside, they’ve got a pool table right in the middle which adds on to the already-funky-looking place. $2 a game. Cheap? I don’t know, but I’ve seen more expensive ones. I thought it was quite a good idea as you get to entertain yourself while waiting for your food.
I’d say this place is worth a try. Just don’t get the cool-looking warm seats..

I've heard good stuff about it and since I was deciding on something new with my hair, I decided to try Reds.
The hairstylist (Alan) that attended to me was rather professional and patient. He had a 10 min talk with me to tell me of the things I could do to my hair when I asked for suggestions for a haircut that would suit my face shape. I seldom get such answers. I used to get the impression that this is what hairstylists should know and do, but everytime I ask that, I just get very uncreative ideas that are normally not much of a difference from my previous hairstyle. But this time it was different. I was presented with different ideas and alternatives. For that, I was pretty impressed and satisfied.
During my cut, I realized the hairstylist had this pretty different look when he cuts hair, as compared to others that I've seen. I felt that this hairstylist was very engrossed in his work, unlike others who couldn't care less about what they're doing.
I left the place with a good and satisfied haircut. I think it's definitely worth going. Only thing is that I don't quite feel that $42.80 would be something I'd pay for shaping my short hair all the time..
