There's a cafe at Hilton Hotel that serves really good cheesecake and others cakes too! I like the cheesecake as they have many different flavours and, unlike most other cheesecakes, you don't get sick of eating them so soon.
However, as it's a hotel cafe, the prices of the cakes are slightly more pricey. But I would say it's pretty worth the money :)
Ultimately cool place! A pity I don't have photos of it, but I've went to this place once and since then, totally adored this place. But because of the location (extremely far from my place and hard to get to), I haven't been back there since. It's actually located near Chomp Chomp, for those who stay in Serangoon. Somewhere down the road opposite Chomp Chomp, with a bus stop that has only 2 (I think) buses going there.
I like this place because of its cool environment. Something really special and unique. They have bar top-like tables that has somewhat like a piece of blue frosted glass on the table top. Below the glass, there's a light bulb that, when turned on, gives the table a blue luminous effect. But there's only 2 long tables that are positioned at a visible area from the streets. It's not hard to miss at night. And I would definitely recommend people to go at night too, because the ambience there would be better then. Unfortunately, it does not have a very big area, so if I'm not wrong, it'll be quite packed at peak hours.
This place sells mainly desserts. Ice creams, mudpies, brownies and stuff. The food is served in a very creative way. Especially for the ice cream, it comes with a small test tube of alcohol of your choice from the list. The test tube has its own test tube holder that is triangle (or round also I think) shaped. I find it very interesting. The combination of ice cream and alcohol was quite a fresh idea to me, which really had a great part in leaving a good impression in me.
Apart from desserts, they also have simple finger food like calamari and onion rings etc. As well as other western food I think.
As mentioned by the shop owner, this place sells many items imported straight from Italy. It has a wide variety of products, ranging from jewellery to clothes to little accessories for your house like runners for consoles etc.
I thought the jewellery in this shop are quite different from what you can find outside. They sell jewellery with jade pieces, as well as pearls and what looks like semi-precious stones. Also, they have clothes of quite unique designs hidden in a corner of the shop (going at around $200 for a 3/4 length skirt). I don't think you'll be able to find anything from other shops that are really similar to the clothes and jewellery they sell. They also have beautiful eastern-design runners of various lengths and colours, plus small little (embroidery I think) pictures that you can frame and hang up to beautify your home.
There are really quite a lot of interesting and unique things in this shop. Too many to list. But be warned, be prepared to part with quite a large sum of cash if you intend to shop there. I don't know if I should say it's over-priced, since it's imported from Italy and I haven't really seen anything similar around before.. But it's definitely too expensive for me.
I remember going to this place for a hair cut once, because a friend of mine told me that it's not bad. I spent some time trying to locate the shop at far east plaza level one, as this level is pretty much like a maze to me.
I was not very satisfied with the service as the hairdresser did not pay much attention to what I want. Instead, he did things based on what he felt was good, and not what I felt was good. In the end, I was not very satisfied with my hairstyle and felt very unwilling to part with my money.
Although it is quite a popular place for haircut, I don't think I will want to go back again.
I don't go to this place a lot, because of the large serving and slightly-higher-than-my-budget pricing. But nonetheless, I leave the place satisfied each time because the food is worth the price you pay.
I'm not that into the chicken when I go there, as compared to the side dishes, but I still think their meat is very nice and tender. It's not very hard to eat also, even if it's one half of the chicken or a plate of ribs. And that's because the meat is.. well tender! It makes it really easy to cut out the meat (or you can just use your hands). I like the side dish they have - corn, potato salad and that.. cheesy macaroni thing. I think the macaroni is a must try. Really good! (Unless you totally don't like cheese.)
But one thing bad about the shop is that it's really small. There isn't enough seats to cater to the overwhelming crowd they meet everyday. Because the shop is too small and there are more tables and chairs than they can take, it makes it hard to move around comfortably also. I think at the moment, they are undergoing renovations to improve on the place. So hopefully after renovating, the place would be able to accommodate more people!

Great place to chill, I'd say. Give it a shot (:
