The food here is really nice. The price is adequate and the serving is bigger than usual serving at other similar stalls. The price is worth the serving. There was once I ordered what I would usually order at a hawker centre but turned out I didn't finish the food as it was a bigger serving than I expected. Price averages from $4-6 per dish.
Do try out their drinks such as milo/horlick dinosaur/godzilla, iced limau and the blueberry longan drink, my recommendation. Food wise, their prata are not bad. Their murtabak (crispy, thin, light) and roti john are really worth trying. They have many various malay/indian food and few I've tried are the nasi goreng and nasi ayam, which comes in many different flavours (pattaya, beef, chicken, bandung, etc). Prata (flavours such as cheese mushroom, planta, bomb, chcolate, honey and banana, etc) are a must try too!
Service standard has not failed my expectation. There was only once which I had to wait for quite a while, other than that it is usually not the case.
It's quite interesting to see that they do serve up cuisines of other nature such as western and chinese affairs to accommodate the taste buds of different taste. I do see some tourist coming here to try out their western food (burgers, steaks, crayfish) and their chinese food is not bad too, such as their hotplate crispy noodle and black pepper beef hor fun. A place to suit all flavours for those who dare to try.

Anyhow, I've decided to try it out after getting my materials. Tried out the student meal, which was the chicken and mushroom spaghetti that day. Not really tasty, quite sticky I should say. That's why it is advisable for them to stick to their trade as a steakhouse.
Coming here, of course we had to try the steak there. Ordered a plate of black pepper steak and it wasn't that bad. But I expected more from them, especially when they are a steakhouse.
Ambience wise, it is kind of strange to have a meal in a restaurant situated in the HDB block. The lightings are not well-lighted. The whole decor of the place is really dark. Candles don't really make much of a difference. I was placed in a section which only had us. No other customers were in sight. I don’t think I’ll be back for a second time as I’m more obsessed with the ambience. But if you are heading there, try nothing else but the steak to avoid any disappointment.

Located in a cozy corner behind The Raffles Hotel, the museum is opened in 2006 by an avid toy collector. The place displays collection of toys from all over the globe. It is the first purpose built museum for toys in the world.
A visit to the place evokes childhood memories. Visitors could relate the toys to the time when they were playing them as a child, the moment of finding a familiar toy and character that was once played. It is truly something unique, providing a change from the norm of visiting the museum deemed as “boring, old and dingy” by visitors.
It is very much advisable to walk around with the help of a guide. I am pleased to have the guidance of Erwin, who was pretty well-equipped with the toy knowledge. He was busy guiding a group of kids when we arrived, but I was very pleased when he came over and offered to bring us on a tour around. Without a guide, you would not know more about additional trivia and facts of the various toys.
The Mint Café, located in the basement offers a relaxed, yet sophisticated ambience for casual or formal dining. A comprehensive menu, based on an international cuisine, is available to suit all palates. It is a special experience to dine alongside the toy memorabilia.
All in all, this museum is not like any other museum. This attraction is not just for tourist. It is a place where locals can visit for a very unique experience, maybe a place for that lovely date perhaps? Be amazed and be awed by the displayed collection, which in fact, only comprises 10% of the owner’s collection. I really admire his dedication to toys!
