I love supermarkets.. Be it huge hyper ones or the small neighbourhood ones... However this outlet of cold storage in takashimaya has been a life-saver to me for many occasions.
They sell everything.. from fresh fruits, canned stuffs, snacks and potato chips to beer, concentrates, sushi.... and hardware, sanitary ware, travel should haves and that is about everything you need....
I always love a cool snapple and you basically cannot get it anywhere else in takashimaya except cold storage. Though prices is slightly higher perhaps about 10-20% depending on the item as compared to other neighbourhood supermarket, but as compared to any other stores in orchard road, it is reasonable.
I visit the gym at the top level of ngee ann city (takashimaya) and theres this once i forgot my lock, and I went to look for it at the drugstore such as watsons and guardian and couldn't find a lock. As it was early, many shops are still closed but thank goodness i managed to find one at cold-storage, on top of that i was spoilt for choices as there are a few models available to choose from. With that, I also grabbed a couple of other things.. My fav. Meiji chocolate milk, a box of chewy muesli bar and a bottle of pocari sweat for my workout...
Great Store, Great Location and love the neatly stacked, properly arranged merchandises :)
Was tempted to make a pair of eye glasses whenever I walk past this shop during my not so frequent yet often sportswear spree in Queensway Shopping Centre. This is like a corridor shop, designed in such a way that the open concept made customers like me walk in without hesitation. I love the staff there as they are friendly and not bothersome. They allowed me to browse and try on the hundreds of designs eyeglasses on display, especially the quirky ones...
Love the various designs available. Mostly korean, if not japanese, you can find all sorts of rims, made of various materials such as wood, metal or plastic with all sorts of designs on the rims, color combination and function. You may buy them as it is, without lens or customize a lens with special functions or even made them into sunglasses.
The price is incredible... For less than S$100, you can make yourself a pair of nicely customized and fitted eye-glasses with that oh so fashionable frame complete with a super thin and lightweight lens in your power, enjoy a good and professional eye test and eye glass fitting.... (note.. this is a ADULT price, not a STUDENT price)
Its so quick.... Decide your frame, Do your Eye Test, Shop for 45 mins... Have a drink at macdonalds for 15 mins... Collect your brand new eye-glasses, do a fitting... adjust a little and you have a new pair of fashionable eye-wear :) One hour is all you need... Frankly... i think i spent more time choosing the frame :)
So, if you are looking for a pair of fashionable and economical eye-wear.. this is the place to go :)
Service is great and fuss free.... :) Price reasonable and economical..... :) Location is easy to find... just walk around level 1.. its round the corridor near to the washroom and shopping mall convenient....... :)
I'm a sucker for frozen yogurt (froyo), yes I admit it.. once i walk pass a froyo parlor, I can't help but get myself a cup... After trying so many different types of froyo with various flavours, texture and tartness.... My favorite is still YOGURU's Yoguberry... ( a slightly acidic mixture of Blue-berry and Acai-berry) highly potent stuffs... one of the highest anti-oxidant mixture that is both super nutritious and beautifying!
I like Yoguru's yogurt for many reasons:
1) Flavors: The flavors they have are very healthy combinations such as pomegranate and red dragon fruit or my fav.. the blueberry/acai berry combination, strawberry / greentea... its all the good stuffs.
2) Healthy Toppings: The choices of toppings are nuts, fruits, muesli, all the healthy and yummy choices.
3) Sugar level in the yogurt is not too high.. While I tested the flavored yogurt, its brings forth the natural flavor of the fruits, the acidity and the tartness of the yogurt is just right.
4) The yogurt is creamy and not icy.. I love creamy yogurt as you could taste more its flavor and its more hearty as it contains the right amount of air / water and yogurt.
5) The way they make you cuppa yogurt, they don't weigh it or scrutinize the amount and as a customer, we always hope they give a little more...
6) Pricing they are regularly priced... Not too expensive and similar to the other parlors, however as their yogurt is thicker and creamier, its more worth it.
So if you are also a yogurt lover like me... you must give yoguru a try.... Its really nice :) Don't forget to collect your royalty round card and stamps...
I really like this outlet... The facilities are so new and the crowd is so different though I find the lonely 2 lifts that bring me up to the floor is soo slow and seemed to take ages to get up to the top floor where this outlet of the california fitness resides.
Though I find it smaller than the other outlets, they do have 2 halls whereby 2 classes can be held concurrently. The treadmills and other cardio machines are aplenty and best of all.... while you do your thing on the treadmill during the weekends, no one will bother you. I really hate it... Look I'm panting, I'm trying to catch my breath while attempting to break my record on the 10Km run with sweat dripping and heavy footsteps thumping, one of the personal trainers come along and try to hitch up a casual chat with you with an opening questions like " HI... How are you doing?" All I could do.. is to ignore him and wonder if his brains grow on his biceps... However my previous few visits, I don't have this problem... everybody's just doing their own things...
I do not see many stretching machines or equipment available however they do have some free weights chairs for you to do casual training. They have these really interesting spaces that are near to the window just in front of the treadmill which I find crampy at first yet so interesting.. There are members who bring their mats and do stretching at this areas... You have the privacy as few will walk around that area, its crampy yet so safe and you get a beautiful city view from the glass windows.
I must also mention the changing room... Its NICE.... The lockers are new with benches for you to seat and ample hair dryers at a few location, so you need not all huddle at one dressing island table. They also do provide tissue, cotton buds and cotton squares. The shower area is fabulous.. I love the floor tiles as they are comfy not sandy and not slippery even when wet. The drainage system for the shower rooms are outside the curtain as such you don't see the water flowing while you shower and it looked very seemless. The sauna and steambath is also powerful, quiet and clean...
This is a fantastic outlet... if you haven't been... this is the one you must visit...
Today I'm gonna spill the beans of my little secret. I've discovered this great hair stylist in a small neighbourhood mall nearby clementi mrt station in this tiny mall called CITY VIBE... Level 2 just on the left of the escalator.
I could still recall my first visit years back... in search of a new hair-stylist since my last one migrated, I would pop by any hair salon i fancy and get myself a new hairdo or a cut and while i scrutinized the end results, i would only lament on my ill-choices when I get home and wait for nature to grow out of the hairdo before trying a new one. My first visit to De-Hair Art was after my lunch at a restaurant on the same floor and I met TOM...
He was friendly and cheerful while he showed me to a seat and provided me with a few magazines while i wait to have a hairwash. He asked me how I would like my hair to be done and i briefly described what I wanted in a vague way (usually I'm not quite so sure of how i wanted my hair to look like). He then tell me what he will do and how the after effects will look like. I love his description as I could see so much flare and passion... After the hair wash which make me feel light headed, because of the very good head massage, he then proceeded to cut my hair.... He was fast... I mean fast and precise and while we chit-chat I could see portions of my hair dropping to the ground. His actions was firm as he had a good idea of what he was doing and had the flare of an ARTIST. After the cut, my hair was blown dry and a little more trimming was done.. then WAH LAH........ my perfect hair do... He also gave me tips on how I could style my hair and the look was so unique to my style and character. He even inspired me on the clothes and styles I could do with my hair, provided me with info on future colours that suits my style, I was impressed.
Such flare we usually don't see in a neighbourhood salon... After my first cut with him... I've decided not to go anywhere else. The price.. I must say is reasonable for a salon and professional cut such as his. However, he is pretty popular, so be prepared to call up to make an appointment. He seldom entertains walk-ins because he is usually fully booked and he does commit his full attention and completes your hair before moving on to the next customer even if the waiting customers is complaining ( I really like this).
If you are visiting, be sure to look for TOM.. His other colleagues are pretty good in skill and are all friendly and pleasant, however, cutting/trimming/perming/coloring/ dressing up our hair is different for everyone. If you like a hairstylist with ideas, passion and flare that is both fast and creates a great style according to your personality, TOM is the guy to go for....
