I could faintly remember taking coaches from here to Genting Highlands and even Penang when I was rather tiny, the feeling of excitement and anticipation that comes with it. Now as I revisit the place I found the outside a little older n dirtier than many other malls in Singapore yet there are many treasures hidden inside.
The first nice smell i recognise despite some weird sourish and stale notes was flowers, yes.. frangipani I guess that came from a stall which sold decorations and wares for worship and BBQ meat.... Yes, this place has many stalls that sells authentic thai food owned by thai migrants and we couldn't help but had to seat down for a good meal of Mookata, Thai mango / papaya salad, tomyum soup and green curry. Food served are of a generous portion of spice and herbs... authentically thai.
While we finished our dinner we took a walk around and spotted some thai discos that served thai beer and music. Pretty interesting and loaded with flower garlands that you could use to honor a good singer. There is also a supermarket upstairs that sell a good range of anything you want to find in thailand. I found some green curry instant noodles and even vietnamese instant pho and of course yummy snacks from thailand like dried banana crisps. The supermarket also has a fresh food in cold storage section as such we spotted some weird animal parts and fresh seafood.
Apart from these, we managed to find some BBQ sausage that apparently don't look too cook. Its kinda like seasoned raw meat sausages that is pan fried outside but inside is a moist meat. I ate it and my tummy took it well. Lastly, there are many smaller shops that sells authentic thai fashion and hand made stuffs and even thai boxing gear... I heard of a muay thai gym around level 2 but have yet to find it....
Its a pretty interesting place to walk around if you have some time to spare and yes... great thai food. But the place does smell alittle funny and I didn't use the toilet and I didn't have the guts...*strong bladder strong bladder* otherwise you could pop by food centre opposite the road by crossing the overhead bridge or even the community centre which I guess would have nicer and cleaner loos.

I've had popcorns all my life, be it at the circus or in the movie theatres but Garrett had indeed brought this healthy everyday snack into somewhat a higher level of tastiness and well... its now richer and more fattening but I simply couldn't help my mouth...
Walking down this crispy cool corridor of the City Link mall, I could detect a faint hint of burnt caramel which was quite pleasing to my sweet tooth and as i approach the stall, the fragrance of this aromatically sweet dessert snack simply filled up my senses.
While I stood there taking in as much as I could this delicious aroma of caramel and butter... a sweet smiling staff offered me a small cup popcorn and proceeded to introduce to me the different flavours and even better she offered to let me try each of them.
So I tried:
1) Plain Buttered - Was crunchy and nice with fragrant buttery taste
2) Caramel Flavoured- This is my favourite, its crispy and every popcorn is coated with a thick layer of caramel and butter... extremely addictive
3) Cheese Flavoured - Coated my fingers with a layer of yellowish cheese powder... totally tamed our savoury rush
4) Caramel with almonds or Macademia - no joke, the nuts are plentiful and we loved it.
We got ourselves a medium bag and the staff scooped our corns into this resealable bag in royal blue...
Though its a little pricier then what we get elsewhere, its totally worth it. corns and fresh and crunchy and generous with the toppings... loving it in everywhere... I'm off to buy more for myself...
Beware.. super addictive...

Its pretty much like donuts with fudge and toppings luxuriously creamed on top and well, the flavors a available could be pretty confusing.
The cinnamon buns at the bottom are pretty big and while the lady packed up my box, i noticed my toppings got messed up by the box cover but well.... a sweet mess sounds yummy....
So i brought the bulky box home and while I shared with my family, this pretty mess... we simply couldn't finish the entire box even when there is 5 of us with 6 star cinnamon buns. The buns are fluffy with a heavy texture and laced with loads of sugar. The toppings generous but I find them too drippy... and well way too sweet a combi.
It was too much to eat and we kinda felt sick half way through it. The sweetest flavor I experienced would be the caramel cheese and the double chocolate was overwhelming... perhaps they should consider using bitter chocolate to balance the taste of the full bodied cinnamon bun.
It kinda felt a little too sugary for me... and i'm cutting down on flab!!!

It was surprisingly very clean while i venture up the staircase to a brightly lit room on the top floor flooded with the aromatic smell of freshly brewed coffee. Spied some cakes on display and the sizzling sound from the barrister coffee machine, I've decided on a slice of regular cake with a coffee. While I was briefed on what I should do and not do to the cats, I was spared some hand sanitizer and showed into the sitting area.
Cats everywhere, yes flurry, plump, cute looking, fluffy matured cats lazing at every corner of the cafe with loads of play toys, structures for them to climb, walk, lay and have fun. While i pick a seat by the windows on the floor, I was in awe by the superbly clean furless floor... Yes It was cleaner then my own room, no doubt, cats are trully clean creatures. While the cats casually strolled by and landed near my feet watching the beautiful scenary outside while I gave it soft strokes. The cats are pretty tamed, friendly and love to pose for pictures.
Love the various playground like structures around, you could see them exhibit they playful nature without inhibition and some even engaged in a game of football (aka ball chasing). Theres a play area and some other patrons took out some toys from the stash in the play zone to play with them. Cats looked healthy and the entire experience was very good. I'm sure to return again, though i'm not quite a cat loving fanatic but i'm sure my cat loving friends will love the place.
Very Clean and great service, on top of that, pricing was very reasonable and place was cool and comfy. Great to laze the afternoon away with some new found meowing friends. Well executed place with a great concept... Meow Meow Meow

The initially coordination was good, 2 days before the event I was reminded with a list of camera equipments and good to have items, while on the actual day, the location was easy to find and I was quickly shown to my "teacher of the day" Irene.
The initial part of the workshop comprises of a quick introduction and some tips on photographing this cute cats and we are off to try take some test shots before returning to review on the pictures. Apart from the hands on photography session, we had some training notes that gave us good tips on photography, both the basics and "through the years of experiences" kinda tips. I find them very fulfilling as some of this information, i never thought off at all...
Shortly afterwards we were off to our more professional trial shots and shared the pictures among each other, sharing ideas and why we frame the shots the way we did. Irene then demonstrated to us some process of photo editing, professional jargons and specifications to enhanced our photos and photographers secrets and quick tips for easy and fast editing. She even downloaded some of our pictures and amazed us with the touch up and editing that made our pictures looking priceless. It was very exciting to see our photos be transformed into an amazingly gorgeous image right in front of you with a simple tap on the mouse and yes years of experience to do the right clicks.
The whole atmosphere was constructive and participants open, helpful and joyous. While time flies, the workshop came to an unrelenting end with a good surprise at the end. Irene brought out a special one time treat (not supposed to be packaged in the workshop) of a photo printer to print out our 3 personal best. This was awesome as we got to bring home some pictures. The class ended with us making friends with each other and those who wanted to stay on to take more pictures of these cute cats at the cat cafe could do so while some of us who made initial appointments got to go... *i wished i've stayed*
Enjoyed the entire session tremendously and learnt alot. Its time well spent and experience that impacted the foundations of my photography skills. I tried the tips immediately even with my mobile phone and got great praises from my friends.... after writing this, now they know my secret.... :)
