I was at Changi Terminal 3 public area recently and was surprised by the number of great food selection there. In the past, there was only the food court and a few miserable overpriced restaurants, but now, things are different. They have a good variety of restaurants such as fast food, Chinese cuisines, Japanese Ramen restaurants, Coffee & toast cafes, Butter Studio Cupcake shops, Carl's Junior, Crystal Jade, Dian XiaoEr, and even Durian Empire. The prices and food menu is very much the same as what we eat in town. Not much an increase of change of menu.
Shopping has also increased in varieties. Now they have Cotton On for some last minute clothe purchase, shoes at BATA if you feel your footwear is not so comfy, Giordano for I LOVE SG t-shirts which make great gifts for your overseas friends, Home Fix if you forgot to bring your handy torch or even KidzTime.... They now have almost everything required.. even Telco's set-up shops in Terminal 3... which i feel is all geared up to be used full fledged once the budget terminal phases out in September.
The thing i don't really like about terminal 3 is the confusing carpark area... I just feel that its confusing and sometimes we would like to park nearer to the entrance to the mall/public area to facilitate children or old people. Its hard to find the mall area in the carpark because its not too well lit and signage are few and hard to spot. When you get there, most of the space are already taken up and poor grandma... she really have to take her time to crawl there and the carpark is soooo huge.. by the time she did so..... we could already have finished our meal.
The lifts and decorations are great in the mall. Brightly lit with greenary and sophisticated electronic buttons for lifts and other electrical fixtures. The toilet is clean but i've been to much cleaner airport toilets. I also feel that airport toilets should be like hotel toilets... as airports are our first and last impressions to our invaluable overseas guest. The toilet sign in T3 looks fabulous and the setting of the wash basin, sensor tap with hand wash, hand dryer, tissue for cleaning your hand all at one spot and not forgetting full length mirror for that last check to make sure you don't walk out with a trail of toilet roll stuck to your heels.
I should say.. its not the World's BEST Airport I've been to but it sure is one of the FEW BETTER AIRPORTS... It has everything we need and does not cost much more then the regular city retail prices, transport to the airport is convenient, quick and not too pricey. However service is still not so good though I've met pretty friendly airport staff, yet not so handicap or elderly friendly Eg. like wheelchairs are not easily and readily available...
This is dedicated to our good friend who have yet to taste the mystifying revolutionized bubble tea from Gong Cha...
Many would have observed the large number of students, office workers, tourist and casual diners hanging around this Gong Cha outlet.. They are actually waiting for their number to be called to receive their carefully concocted, mixed, shaken and pearls/jelly/bits of yummy stuffs added in, heat sealed in an air tight plastic container drink.
All you have to do is to choose the kind of drink you would like to order, decide on the level of sweetness you would like (100% / 80% / all the way to 20%) and make payment at the cashier, then you get to stand around and wait for your number to be called.
There are many great flavors and are all exciting to try, however, you might prefer regular flavors, I would say, they make the regular common flavors taste yummy. I particular like the Winter Melon Gong Cha with cream on top with pearls and sprinkling of green tea powder. The cream is a little salty when tasted on its own, however it goes so well with the winter melon tea. Pearls are chewy and does not lump together, a little honey taste and they give a good amount as far as dessert is concerned.
They even have earl gray milk tea or oolong milk tea, but the other one I love is the Lemon Roast Melon Tea... it has bits of Roasted Lemon in the tea, both a little zesty sour yet full of flavor.. One Cup of such Tea is great for curbing both your sweet tooth and thirst...
So dear friend.. its time to revolutionize your taste buds.... Pick up some courage, buy yourself and US a cuppa Trendiness.... Get HIT by the wave of HIP Tea Drinking.....
Bao Today 包今天 is not Justice Bao 包青天。 I was hoping to find a judge or a bao that is almost totally black with a crescent moon, however i fail to find anything like that! But what is really nice is the half baos.... They look like naked baos without their caps on.. or more like botak baos when all you can see top down is the filling of succulent meat, egg and mixed veg sitting on a round bao skin. Here is all the filling you can have without filling yourself silly with the excessive carbohydrate rich bao skin.
Out of the many other dim sum items we ordered, I love the fried carrot cake best, its crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside without the excessive oil on the outside. The Belly Pork Bun is also yummy. The Belly Pork not too fatty and sauce savory and well spiced. BBQ Pork noodle is of a good portion with fried wanton and wanton soup with succulent prawns, however i find the noodles a tad too salty.
Seating is tight... If you are with a big group, this is not the place to go. Service is almost non-existent however, the food is pretty decent so, during meal times it is still packed. I feel like a sardine seating in for a meal and what more by the walking area, though i enjoy watching shoppers salivating at my food, I am also afraid of running toddlers banging onto my table with hot soup and coffee. Seat are not comfortable, so I will only recommend takeaway, however that is not advisable as well as food ain't yummy if its soggy. So.... GO ALONE... or at most bring one friend........
If you desire the creamy texture on a smooth crispy butter cup of an egg tart yet feeling bored with the plain egg tart flavor, then be blown away by the savory and sweet egg tarts from fancy delight.
I was pretty skeptical about trying their egg tarts at first as i always thought egg tarts are like soda drinks... They only taste good in their original flavor and only when it is sweet. The green pandan flavored tart, double chocolate brown coloured tart and the pinkish jam centered tarts look rather unusual to me, however on receiving a half a dozen of these tarts in a box made me change my mind.
I tried the cheese egg tart, which is more savory then sweet and find it rather enjoyable. The creamy filling infused with generous melted cream cheese is simply heavenly. I love the mushroom & cheese as well as the black pepper chicken flavored ones. The butter pastry cups that holds the entire tart together goes very well with the savory fillings and simple melts in my mouth.
The sweet ones are yummy too.... I tried the chocolate chip which tasted just of the right sweetness and fused with the egg tart filling well. The blueberry jam one i had is a tad too sweet for my taste however i still finished it all. Last I ate the original flavored one.. Original tasted creamy, thick and smooth. It is of the right texture, not too watery or thick and hard like most traditional egg tarts. I love it when it looked a tad toasted with sugar on the top.. somehow.. caramelized sugar makes anything looks and taste good.
Meanwhile, there is not much to the shop in this outlet. I walk pass it almost often and location is great for take away as it is on the same level as the link way to the MRT station. Grab some tarts and some frozen yogurt and perhaps some really fine bread down the hallway... Meanwhile, they have so many other flavors..... I think I will need to run more so that I can try them all....
A fabulous dinner place with a great choice of food to choose from and all at a super value for money price.
It was a girls day out and while strolling through the many restaurants at Millenia Walk, we pass by this very small counter next to TCC, we were warmly greeted by the counter staff there. While we were issued charge cards, we walked into a so much larger dining hall with open concept kitchen, flaming pans and the aroma of grilled meat with sweet spices.
There were so many choices of cuisines you could choose from; spanish tapas, kababs, skewered meat, turkish rice dishes, sandwiches in panini, pizza, salad and so much more. The portion is pretty decent and some may feel big.... Wash it down with more then 100 choices of beer from all over the world. While I was there I was thrilled to see their One for One offers. You can have One for One for any kinds of bottled beer (till 8pm), sandwhich is also going one for one, and skewered meat as well.... Usually such offered are only valid on a weekday, however.. which I was there on a saturday evening... I get this special offer as well.
Dessert is also fabulous, though not many choice to choose from, you get the essential yummys.. Like Crepe and Ice-Cream, Brownie, Chocolate churros, ice-creams with waffles and other cakes. I would suggest go for the weekday high-tea... They serve a good array of sweets and savouries in a beautiful dual layered serviing plate.
They have both indoor and outdoor alfresco seats which are well ventilated with fan and great for evening drinks. Last i checked.. no mozzies and dust from the nearby road. Services was overly friendly... The staff was attentive, friendly and provided many good information. Basically, you get more than what you ask.. and before you could ask.. what you need is served....
A great place to hang out with your friends and family.. Big groups are okay here as there is ample seats.. however the crowd does come in during dinner time, so be sure to make reservations. Interesting colourful array of menu, drinks and deco.
Oh.... about the damages.. First there is no service charge and service is super great, then i ordered a one for one sandwich (ham & cheese / Roast Beef served with fries and tossed salad) which i couldn't finish and it cost me a good $13.80. Bottled german beer about one pint per bottle $15 and its one for one. Skewered meat and skewered muchroom one for one $12.80. Spanish seafood in a cute cone looking clay plate with Spanish rice $18.90.
It seems like I will be coming here more often.....
