Andersen's of Denmark has been in the basement of Parkway for as long as I can remember. It used to just be a counter where you had to buy and have your ice cream on the go. But it recently revamped (along with the rest of Parkway) and now has some sitting area which is both interesting (for people watching) and annoying (when people peep over your shoulder to see your food).
Last week, I visited the place with friends on a quiet weekday afternoon. Parkway was still bustling with activity so there were people sneaking glances at our food. It's alright if you aren't the conscious type but if you are I would suggest to order takeaway.
Anyway we had the couple fondue. There were 3 of us and we couldn't finish it after a meal at Sakae... it was our dessert and one which was nice. The chocolate tasted good. There were 5 small scoops of icecream but there wasn't many flavours to choose from. There was a variety of fruits, wafer, marshmallows, etc.
It was cheap at $17, compared to some places that charge $25-$40 for the same serving.
This outlet is housed in the quiet Roxy Square just opposite Parkway Parade. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the complex though, this salon is very well renovated and looks posh with its spa theme.
It has relaxing music playing in the background and nice dim lights to help you feel less conscious.
Recently they advertised in the newspapers... 30 sessions (10 of 3 different kinds) for just a few hundred dollars so I decided to head down for some trials. The people were very friendly and less pushy (still pushy though but less) than some of the other salons I've been to.
Just an outline of my problems: I have a tummy and thick thighs and generally not toned.
So I signed up for their package and did the Radio Frenquency one straightaway. It was really good! I could actually see the reduced appearance of my cellulite on my thighs immediately and for a few days it maintained that look.
I also tried the Detox Massage by Shirley. She was very patient and put me at ease immediately. She shared many home remedies I could do for my problems. Which was really helpful. They also stayed later than normal as I was the last customer and didn't seem impatient, letting me take my time in the shower etc.
The only reason why they did not receive 5 stars was that I didn't like a couple of their pushier consultants but the therapists were very nice.
Talking about creativity! This group of creative people sure has a great creative idea and I've a feeling this is going to be big! (One day)
Saw them at MAAD today. I've to say, this is a very new and fun gift idea for everyone and anyone! Sure will put a smile on your friend's and loved one's face when you give a head to them. I am already considering getting it for couple of my girlfriends. (shhh...)
Go check out their website for samples of the heads. So cute lah!
Oh! btw... they're cushions aka huggables aka pillow or whatever you want to call it.
Was planning to head to play boardgames at Boat Quay when we chanced upon this Thai Restuarant. Took a glance at the menu and found the price pretty reasonable. So we went in to get our dinner.
I like the murals on their walls. Simple yet tasteful. Simple decor and gives a very easy and relax feel while dining. Clean too. Nothing fancy. I like.
We ordered fried tofu (3 flavours), spicy chiang mai squid and green curry chicken. The food was nice and lightly taste. Its different from the other Thai food i had before which has a very strong taste of their spicies. Food here is nicely cooked with just the right amount of spice. You'll still be able to taste the original taste of the meat/vege with the sauce over it.
Was quite confused with the ordering process at my first visit. First I was given a number card with my table number. Then the guy at the entrance will place a matching table number at an available table for the number of guest. Then we placed our order, collected our drinks and had to sit at the table given to us. (You cannot choose to sit at another table as it'll all be numbered.)
Food came and we had to cook our own food. Pour in the sauces and start cooking your meat on the hot stone. All the sizzling and cooking created a strong smell that filled the entire place. I personally wouldn't like sitting there for too long after my meal. Kinda stink the clothes.
Had my second visit at Pepper Lunch yesterday. My friends were there before me and were about to finish when I arrived. I queued to order my food and from my previous experience, I requested for a number card. The guy asked where I sit and I told him my table number was removed as the food already delivered. He doesn't seem to understand me as he kept asking for a table number! I repeated myself again this time slower and pointing to my table. Then finally he understood. But he seemed rather lost not knowing what to do. Later he told me to inform the cashier when placing my order. So I did. And the cashier gave me a confused look again! I'm totally lost. What's so difficult about giving me a new table number? Later he checked with the guy again and then he told her to give me a table number from her sets of numbers. Walking back to my table to join my friend, I asked myself, what's the difference from the guy at the entrance giving me a number and the cashier giving me a number? Aren't they the same?
The food was alright. Its the concept of cooking it yourself and the special sauce they have that makes it a novelty for customers. Other than that, I don't see what's so good about it, considering the smell and price and service, I'll rather not have my meal there.
Quick review: Was there yesterday for Secret. Show time was 7.45pm. But we were not allowed to enter earlier as the theatre wasn't ready. Wanted to buy popcorns at the counter inside and go to the ladies before the show. But we couldn't.
The cinemas was packed and the queue was long at the ticketing counter. As we bought our tickets earlier, we had to requeue to get popcorns. They should have created an express lane for those who just want popcorns instead of putting the ticketing n popcorn counter together. Yes its easier for those who buy ticket the last minute/ before the show and get their popcorns at the same time. But what about people like us? The most irritating thing is when those buying tickets infront of you can't decide which seats to pick! They held up the queue and we ended up late for the show. When we finally got to our theatre, the show already started!
Later we found out that they do delivery service to our seats for food orders. I feel that this is a good gesture for people who bought tickets first so they can order their food and get it delivered. But think again, wouldn't these delivery disturb the others in the theatre? Especially if the delivery is for someone sitting right in the center of the row?
I still feel that a seperate counter is better for those who just want popcorn.
I'm also a starhub maxonline user. Personally, I feel that maxonline is faster and better as compared to other bb provider. Have been asking around others too when I have to recontract my subscriptions. And usually a higher percentage of ppl I talk to recommended me to stick to starhub. At least you don't have to worry about your home line plans? Another reason why I'm on starhub is also cos I do not have a home line since everyone at home has a mobile phone. And with the free incoming, what's the point of a home line?
If you find that the plan you subscribe to is too high, you can downgrade to a lower plan. The speed shouldn't be reduced too much. If you're comfortable with the wireless@sg speed while surfing outdoor, then go lower plan for home cable I would say.
Pretty handmade crochet charms and embellishments make her accessories one-of-a-kind. Her lovely collection of accessories is very pretty and womanly. Her use of colors is simply magical.
Love all the designs! If only I can have them all!
Maria is also a very friendly lady who moved to Singapore with her family as her husband is deployed to work here. Very nice lady to chat with. She makes everyone feel so welcome at her shop (when she's goes MAAD at red dot museum.)
Go take a look at her blogstore. Buy one for yourself, or if you're a guy, buy for your gf/wife/mother.
Ever tried to drive 1/2 an hour just for a prata. If you have eaten prata at the Prata Place, most likely you will know what I am talking about. Unless you are staying in Springleaf avenue, you will most likely take 1/2 an hour either from the Eastern or Western part of Singapore to get to the Prata Place.
The prata is simply delicious; thin and crispy and at the right size. Tried the mutton Murtabak, garlic prata (nice) and the bomb prata. Opps... did I say bomb. Hope it is not a restricted word. Anyway, the bomb (again) prata is a mixture of sugar and milk, giving it quite a unique taste. Not for the faint hearted.
The murtabak must be one of the crispyfying ones I have ever tried. Most murtabaks are soft and soggy. This one is flat and well filled with mutton. I ordered the small ($4) which is good for 2 persons. The have medium, large and extra large murtabak ($10) good for a family to soak themselves in murtabak. Might need 2 persons to carry the XL ones.
One more thing, the person taking the order is one of the friendliest I have seen. Normally when people are busy, their muscles seem to forget how to smile. This waiter is different. He smiles like no tomorrow and even has time to play with kids and babies, much to the amusement of the parents. Anyway, his friendly disposition makes it easy to place re-orders or to ask for more curry.
This is the best fried chicken in the universe...really out of this world!!! Situated in a little corner at City Plaza, little would any one know that this place exist. City plaza is known for clothes and ladies apparels, not fried chicken. But after getting a taste of Arnold's fried chicken, you will not want to eat fried chicken from any other fast food outlets any more.
Simply put, the chicken is cooked only when you place the order. It is fresh, not frozen or pre-heated. So expect to wait a little longer when you place your order. But when it arrives, you will have the time of your life with the juicy and tender meat and the crispy "real" chicken skin. Not like the other chicken skin that makes you feel like you are eating fried flour.
The 1/2 spring chicken is $4.90
This is enough for one person. The fried buns are also freshly fried so they are piping hot when they reach the table.
Seating and service is average. But the fried chicken makes up for it all. Do come early about 6:30pm. Arrive after 7pm and you will have to queue. Yes, you will be given a queue number and will have to wait. But you can place your order first so that once you get your table, food is served soon after.
They also have fish and chips but the place is not called Arnold's fried chicken for nothing. Stick with the Fried chicken....simply the best. Is there an option to put 10 stars?

Total spent $22 for 2 person. Worth a try.
