I've been walking pass this SHOKUDO outlet in Bugis day after day salivating at the pictures of japanese desserts and while hanging out with the "38" aunties last night, we've decided to spend our dessert monies here.
Its a pretty casual dining cafe styled restaurant. You are practically seating by the walkway... an open concept corner space in a calming shade of beige and matcha green. While we approached the entry counter, the friendly staff kindly showed us to our seats, though its a small place, there are plenty of seats available. Its a little noisy i must say but pretty casual and good for long noisy chats with the "38" aunties club.
After a heavy dinner, we wanted something light sweet and slow eating... We've decided on something we find interesting in the menus.
The tofu cheesecake is one that blows our minds off... Its a pretty small serving for $5.80 however its creamy and cheesy... Looks like tofu on some biscuit base drizzled with raspberry sauce its rather gelatiny. I must say its something special something that bears the cheesy and creamy taste of cheesecakes and the soft gelatin texture of tofu somewhat also like creamy jello but just harder.. The taste is balanced and good to share as too much of the creamy stuff sends you off balance. Also comes in green tea (macha), red bean (azuki) flavour that comes with a ball of ice-cream.
Macha Parfait is another fabulous desserts. I love the presentation of this dessert.. In a half sized tall drinking glass you can find the cornflakes on the base layer topped by green tea jello, azuki sauce, some cream, 3 balls of mochi, one large ball of macha ice-cream, one slice of biscotti and a dollop of whipped cream. Mmmm mmm mmm..... The entire mixture is perfect as each layer is a surprise while when we mix them works so well together. The taste and texture were amazing.. Beautiful and delicious.
We could also find other nice things such as pastas, pizzas, sandwiches and burgers coupled by regular Javanese main course. So we are sure to come back to try the other dishes..
Service is prompt and staff is helpful with good recommendations of their menu especially desserts. We love the tofu cheesecake so much that we enquired to buy one whole cake which cost about $58 for one that should be ordered one day before. Sure to come back, love the food, the casual ambiance, the friendly staff and my sweet tooth!
Bring your friends, though the serving size is just right... Its good for sharing so that more dishes can be ordered.. so much to try!!!
Formerly a really old SHAW Theatre... The Shine Auditorium is refurbished with new plush seats, LED lighting, cameras, fantastic sound system and a good stage with all that is needed for drama & dance, a play, music events or even movie screenings. Being previously one of Singapore's best movie theatres has its perks. The layout and the interior architecture is created for the good sound portraying and sound proofing with plenty of space for people to move around.
I love this old theatre... though refurbished with better fixtures and more eco-friendly equipments, this place still bears the good old memories of my younger days. The entry to this theatre is mainly through the 2 service lifts whom bears a courteous sign " to patiently wait and hold the door for incoming passengers" which is one that I have not seen for a long time. Another entry or escape is by the carpark which i find a little dangerous as its round a bend and slope.
There is a toilet in the theatre itself and I find it nice, clean and there is around 10 cubicles to avoid queues. There is also speakers in the restroom in the theatre that allows you to know whats going on outside even when you are pampering yourself in the loo.
The ambiance and air-conditioning of the place is great, i find insufficient leg room for the seats however I love the railings along the seats that is both safe and helpful as a additional support. The location is pretty good... situated near to suntec city and the other end of Liang Seah street, food is easy to find, though you can always patronise the outlets at level 1, they have cafes, restaurants and even starbucks. Though the toilets at the other parts of the Shaw Building is old, they are clean and pretty well maintained, most importantly they have toilet paper in almost every cubicle though i'm shocked to find that only about 10-25% of the cubicles are seating ones.. the rest.. you have to squat...
Plenty of good food around the SHAW Centre.. My personal favourite for lunch will be the Roast Duck rice opposite the other side of the road near to Liang Seah Street... Its succulent yummy and juicy with a crispy skin.. Mmmmmm
The Star Theatre @ the Star PAC is a sophisticated theater unique in architecture and extremely environmentally friendly. With its 5000 sitting capacity and extensive high tech equipment in audio, video and production lighting systems, it is a performance venue that is both luxurious and extremely functional in bringing the best sound, audio and overall experience for any performance.
I was there on a few occasions and even for Adam Lambert's concert here in march 2013 and I love the long escalators with its patent handrails. The overall experience in entering the theater is a pleasant one. I was spoilt for choices as there are various restaurants available for dinner in this non-air-conditioned mall however upon entering the restaurant of my choice, it was well cooled with ai-con... Very green and energy saving for not cooling the corridors. After dinner we took the escalator up to the ticket sales office and up to the entrance to the theater.. i love the frosted white gates that looked so mechanical and futuristic. The carpets are new and fluffy and toilets with so many cubicles to choose from is clean and spacious. They even have some small booths that sells quick bites and drinks along the way. Spotting our seat is easy and the theater is magnificently big with airy. Seats are springy and comfortable with leg space ample. I realized that there are some round tubular things under the seats.. with close inspection, i found out that there is where the aircon comes from.. right under that seat... COOL....
The concert started without much delay and the lightings were spectacular not to mention the sound. There are lasers everywhere illuminating the whole area. Love the huge screens at the back as the projection did help me in seeing my artist perform. The sound is fantastic with clarity from the band and the concert was earth moving. The stage is huge with plenty of space for the dancers and stage deco.
While the concert ends, there are plenty of exits to avoid human jam. Leaving the hall is easy and fast and you could still get a late night snack at the F&B outlets below. Overall, its a great experience and I would love to visit this place for other shows. Great location and extremely convenient with the Buona Vista MRT East/West and Circle line just 5 minutes away.
This is where i spend all my boring evenings munching pop-corns, getting high on Diet-Coke and trashing my ears with overly loud sound effects. This theater is by the way one of the not so good GV theaters...
The seats though plushy are somewhat not very clean and i can always find pop-corns leftovers on my seat...The cup holder is almost always sticky and the floor sometimes damp. The air temperature is always colder.. well i pretty enjoy that frankly so that i can bring out my WINTER WEAR... However while i watched one movie in the afternoon, i think its the first movie screening of the day, they actually forgotten to turn on the air-conditioning... and I entered pretty late into a half filled WARM theater with sweaty patrons... after perhaps 5 mins then i can hear the humming of the air vents.
Well.. the theater is fitted with a pretty good screen though some of the movies i watch are not digital so you do still have a projector. I once watched a movie and the screen was blurred throughout the advertisements and i can actually see the shadow of the operator cleaning the lens.
I love the toilet though.. spacious and near the cinema with ample cubicles however squeaky doors which may be scary when you are watching a scary movie.
There is not much service to even talk about.. Buying tickets are quick and beverages are pretty standard stuffs... There are mostly smaller theaters and perhaps 2 larger ones and thats about it... cleanliness got to improve and patron comfort have got to be better..
i enjoyed shopping at SASA... they do carry almost everything you need on skincare, fragrances, beauty tools and accessories of many brands. Do expect the prices to be pretty similar to what you will find in the departmental stores however, they do carry some brands exclusively available to them only.
Love the neatly arranged merchandises though i think there should be more space in between racks for easy browsing however, I could always find what i wanted. There are signs and brand names stated clearly on back illuminated boards that is obvious and visually appealing. My favorite item to buy here will be the fragrances. I've got quite a few good deals here when they had some promotions, the fragrances are usually at approximately 20-30% cheaper then elsewhere. You are also allowed to taste the fragrance of your choice on tester papers.. Personally i prefer to be tested on my wrist as its a better gauge of the smell on me mixed with the fragrance of my choice. The staffs are always helpful and cheery. Generous with their skincare and fragrance testers, you could trial on anything you wish...
You can also find a good range of colours for nail polishes as well as make-up accessories and palettes which is hardly available in the malls. Great place to shop, Helpful staff though I like to be left alone to browse.. There are just so many of them and extreme helpfulness can be quite a pain sometimes...
Overall its a good retail shop that provides good service and quality range of products.
