    Finally a bigger and better cinema nearer to my home. Been waiting for this for so long! Am very happy to have Cathay at AMK Hub. The cinema is bigger and I've always been a fan of Cathay's cinema seats. Its more comfortable and slightly bigger/wider as compared to other places. IMO, the seats and sound system are one of the reasons for making a choice of where to watch movie. The next would probably be whether or not their popcorns is nicer.

    Apart from the usual popcorns and nachos, they also have hot snacks for the hungry movie-goers. Very nice of them to provide more options.

    Cathay has came a long way from their history, and they should be very proud of where they are today. Their accomplishments and reputations is to be complimented.

    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.

    1603. The Prata Place

    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?

    1605. Comfort Taxi

    Not sure about you, but personally I find that the taxi by Comfort is getting more spacious (the newer cabs). There are more leg room now for passengers sitting behind.

    My impression of the Comfort cabs in general is pretty ok. Apart from the few who drives either too recklessly, overtaking without signaling and driving as if he was rushing to the toilet or something. The other extreme, usually the older drivers, is to drive super slowly and stays in the left lane on expressways.

    There was once incident when this old skinny uncle driver drove like 60km/h when there were no vehicle infront of him! And he drove at the same speed all the way from Harbourfront to Hougang! Can cry I tell you! And it was quite an old cab so the air-con isn't working well. With the heat started by the speed, I was sweating half way through the journey. That was the worst journey I had on a cab. (And I hope it'll be my last too.)

    Do you have similar encounters too? Or was yours better?

    1606. 206 Fishball Noodle

    iYeb iYeb says:

    Was at SPH for a meeting and decided to pop by this coffee shop to try the fishball noodle. I went around lunch hour and it was very packed. Finally got a table for four, we set down and I ordered a fishball noodle with extra chilli.

    I sat and watched as the husband and wife team "performed" at their hawker store. It was pretty amazing how they can remember every order and where their customers sit and all, considering there were many orders during lunch hour. And they could even recap a regular customer's order when the guy raised his hand from his table, he didn't even have to walk to the store to order! Pretty amazing!

    My fishball noodle came shortly, the noodle looked red and hot with the extra chilli. The serving was just right to fill an average size tummy. If you're a big eater, I suggest you add a dollar for more noodles. The taste was good, the chilli is tasty. And the soup is good too! Normally soup provided by hawker is either too saltish or tasteless. But this stall has put in effort to make the soup tasty too. As for the fishball, its Q and bouncy.

    I will go back again for more when I'm around the area. If you are, do give this fishball noodle a try. Its value for money.

    Jalan Kayu used to be my dinner place after work couple years back. It was near my work place and near my home. Although there are quite a number of food places along Jalan Kayu, Cafeela is the one that we frequent often. So often that the uncle working there recognises us.

    They've recently expanded and now has an air-con dining area too. Price and food still the same. Just that the menu in the air-con place is newer and has more seafood stuff as compared to their normal menu. This dining area is also a good place to host mini dinner party.

    My usual orders at Cafeela includes their Pataya Fried Rice (Rate 4/5), Salted Fish Fried Rice (Rate 3/5), Curry Fish Head (Rate 3.5/5), Fried Beef Kuay Teow (4/5), Pratas (Rate 3.5/5, I prefer this as compared to the one down the road.) and Chicken Wings with Sambal (Rate 4.5/5). The wings aren't those crispy kind, but I like the marinating and the sambal just makes it more yummy! And now they serve satays too! Quite nice also. Can try. But you got to wait for quite a while during dinner time.

    Overall, the food is not bad. Staff are mostly friendly, but do expect to wait for the food (sometimes even the drinks) during weekends dinner hours.

    Nice place to chill too after midnight. If you like chilling with Tek Terik and Milo Dinosaur. =)

    1608. The Prata Place

    This is one of my favorite Prata place. Last time when I used to go jog at the reservoir (can't remember is it upper or lower pierce, but that's not important lah), The Prata Place is where I will go for dinner. Run and then eat prata! Ha!

    But who can resists their wide variety of pratas and the thin and crispy prata! My favorite is the Egg and Mushroom Prata, Chocolate Prata and their Mushroom Masala Thosai. I've tried their other food too, but they aren't that fantastic. So I go there solely for their crispy pratas.

    If you prefer the traditional non-crispy prata, I suggest you try their Thosai. Cos you might not enjoy the crispy prata lah.

    Oh and don't forget to their their Teh Cino too!

    1609. Beach Culture

    iYeb iYeb says:

    A small Swiss resturant by the beach. Location wise is good as there are many parking lots and its free. (Carpark E is paid parking) So you don't have to worry about the parking lady while you chill out with your friends.

    Atmosphere wise, if you go in the evening, and if the wind is in your favor, then ya, very nice place to chill out. If not, you can still request for the fan to be turned on for you outdoor, there are two big fans at the outdoor dinning area.

    As for the food, well, serving is generous but the taste is not strong. Perhaps that's how Swiss food should be, not sure about it. It's not bland, but personally I prefer a much stronger taste and favor when comes to food.

    Their signature dish is the cheese fondue, perhaps can try that out if I happen to be there again.

    1610. 603 Tau Sar Piah

    claud claud says:

    There were couple of shops selling Tau Sar Piah along Balestier Road. When we drove past these shops, the was no queue at these stalls. So I didn't expect to see a queue when I'm at my destination. But to my surprise, the queue was pretty long at 603 Tau Sar Piah. It seems to be very popular among the young and old.

    While queuing I was always peeping to see if there's still Tau Sar Piah left for me when it's my turn. And true enough, by the time I reach the counter, there were only 2 salted ones left. (So sad. I love salted ones.)

    The Tau Sar Piah is soft and fluffy. It was still warm when I bought them. (Fresh from the oven!) I couldn't resist so I had them in the car. Took couple of photos too. Uploaded here for everyone to see. As you can see, the fillings is packed full and the skin is thin and yummy!

    603 Tau Sar Piah is worth a try! I was told weekday queue is shorter and more variety will be available at any one time. They're open till 6.30pm. Go try lah!
