This outlet opposite hang tang is a life saver... Always love a bite to carry on the diesel fumes filled seating area of the boat on the way to Batam.
The baked products are always yummy and my indon friends love the cookies I bring along in beautifully sealed jars. My favourite will have to be the chocolate pretzi and the Toblerone Chocolate Pastry. I find their pastries crispy and fresh while the breads are hearty with a good mix of fruits and nuts. Grainy and wholesome is what I would describe their products. They are of the right sweetness and I could never imagine search hard wheaty breads could taste so nice.
Pick what you want from the shiny clear plastic cabinate and for every 5 bakery items you can get 1 for free. If you like cakes, they have a good variety of that and of course pastry as well. However this outlet do not carry some of the pies I like.
Service is just on the counter and its more of a buy and go kinda shop. Service was quick and the shop is spick and span... Nothing bad to say about them just that these bakery products are somewhat a comfort to me on my stinky boat trip...
I chanced upon Platypus while shopping at Bugis Junction. Used to be the location of the V8 Cafe, this outlet is carefully tucked near to the little bridge towards the food court. The layout of the restaurant very much resembles V8 however I love the little deco by the side of the walls, the little flowers and wooden decoratives.
The menu they serve is very interesting, service is efficient and always with a smiling face. Love the ongoing promotional set meals, especially the beer cocktails.. really interesting. So we ordered these:
1) Wild mushroom soup ($3.90) - Tasted extremely creamy and savory. Could taste the bits of different kind of mushroom and its blended so smoothly with bits of air bubbles.. Light and fluffy.
2) Roasted Pumpkin soup ($3.90) - I expected something more sweet as the natural taste of pumpkin however this one tasted a tad too salty for me. Though smooth and creamy, this have got rooms for improvement.
3) Lemon Prawn Parpadelle ($16.50) - A very interesting choice of pasta with a zest of a slice of lemon juiced over. The prawn is crunchy and the parpadelle extremely interesting. Springy to the bite, the pasta tasted like extremely fresh dumpling skin. I fell in love with the parpadelle almost immediately. Coated in a tasty tomato based sauce with sweet prawns.. this dish is mouth watering good. It looks good, smells good, taste good and parpadelle packs a good surprise.
4) Seafood Bouillabaisse ($21.90) - It has a choice of cream or tomato based and I always believe that seafood should be zesty to bring out the natural freshness of the ingredients, as such, we chose a tomato based. Stir fried with diced tomato in a light broth is what we get, served with a couple of sliced of toasted bread. I find the portion generous, though it might not look much, yet its filling.. The chunks of salmon and generous slices of seafood such as squid and muscles gives muscles to this dish. Dip in some freshly toasted bread makes a wholesome meal. Not much of a wow factor as with the name given, yet is pretty pleasant to have.
5)Smith's Ale ($9.90) - Is a nice combination of Lager Beer with apples, lemon and passion fruit. Very light, fruity and refreshing and the passion fruit is simply amazing... Love the sizzling passion fruit bits that pops in my mouth. Extremely interesting drink... this is the highlight of my meal. The portion is generous however I wanted MORE :)
6) Momo Lychee Ale ($9.90) - Another Lager Beer, lychee and mint combined cocktail is a more sweetish and delightful drink. Love the splash of beer when you bite into the Lychee.
I had a very good experience at this outlet, the food delicious, price reasonable, especially with the ongoing promotion. Be sure to get the Smith's Ale....
This cold storage offers lots of conveniences for me. As compared to the other supermarket around this neighborhood which has only one sheng shiong, I would very much prefer to shop here for all the premium stuffs I would love to avail to my family.
1. They have a great selection of cereals with the very healthy muesli and oats with fruit and nuts kinds. Mostly imported, a good and healthy breakfast cereal is more than just wheat or sugar... here in cold storage they provide a good range of healthy wheat and oat kinda cereals as well as wheatbits. Its 'Ang Mo Jiak' I know.. though some may prefer porridge or a sandwich, I like my breakfast quick and filling....
2. You must check out their OILs...... Yes... oil is a must in any cuisine while oilfree cooking or preparation can't seem to slide down my throat, so since we must have oil... why not choose something healthy. The selection neatly stacked on the shelfs are from all over the world and have many different types to choose from. From the super healthy cold pressed extra virgin to the extra uncommon Avocado Oil.. you can find a whole great selection of different oils with its many flavors. For variety and price worthy.. its a 5 stars for that.
3. The alcohol section carries a good range of premium wines from the common sauvignon blanc to the rare gewurztraminer, I can mostly find what I want for common friends and friends with a wickedly crude tongue... The price i must say is pretty reasonable and if you are throwing a party and need some presentable wine glass yet you do not have space to keep so many wine glasses, in the same section, you can also find plastic wine glasses which looked like real but disposable. Though not very environmentally friendly, it is extremely convenient and love the fact they placed it in this section, so easy to find...
4. The frozen section though do not offer much items we asian like, I do appreciate the free ice to keep my frozen stuffs fresh especially ICE CREAM....
Store is neatly packed and stocked with good shelf life items. Love the quick sale concept for about to expire stuffs.. Service is okay... I mean as long as the cashier don't get too chatty.. its fine :)
I went to this outlet of ART Friend on tuesday night. It is located behind the MRT Station actual, I guess its more or less part of the Buona Vista East West Line MRT Main building. A humble looking single rider escalator leads to this obscure entrance of ART FRIEND, however once inside.... I had a SHOCK...
The shop is really really long and big... I think this is one of the largest outlet they have as compared to the Bras Besah outlet. Neatly stacked in rolls and rolls of shelves are art supplies of all kinds with many brands, colors, surfaces, materials and functions to choose from. Stacked orderly with related items nearby... Here you can find all you need for any art projects. If you can't find the item you want here, I guess nobody else carries them. Their pricing are very reasonable and also do look out for special discounted or clearance items.
I actually picked up some jars of poster colours for 70% off the price.. so it came up to about 45 cents per 22ml jars... They have many colours to choose from and the poster material is still in good form and not dried up or clumpy like more clearance items are. Love the fact they carry even party goods like mask, fancy hats, fancy fabric decorations....
Matter of fact, anything you need, even for leisure room deco projects, you can find them all here. Real good place to shop and browse. The corridors are spacious, air con of the right temperature and no over hospitality following you around, You get to browse leisurely and if you need something, the friendly staff will always have time to show you the items with a great big smile.
Start an art project today... no ideas? Go pop by the store and you will have ideas flooding in your mind. :)
Attracted by the flower shop that is not only littered with these multi-coloured pretty living things, the decorational metal vases and wooden counter top trinkets intrigued me. I entered LALU with much anticipation of being blown away by the infusion of Japanese Countryside. A flower shop in a clothing store is simply genius...
What else is genius, a small living area with toys for children and husbands to hang out comfortably! If you like what you see, you can bring them home as well... Wow.. this not only could entertain the loved ones of these female shoppers, it would encourage them to come by to browse even if they feel they have nothing to buy. Love the trinkets and the country living decorations for sale. Some designs are very special and unique to this shop.
The style of the clothing and colour schemes are more japanese country side. Though I find some fluorescent brightly coloured pieces, they are mostly in a softer tone and materials that felt very natural. I think the pieces are priced at a good range for fashion, however living items are slightly on the high side.
Its a very interesting shop and its worth the visit for the family. Great merchandises and a pretty unique theme that is very rare to find in Sunny SG Island.
