I had lunch at Carl's Junior at Jurong Point today.. though I'm a west side girl and frequent Jurong Point so very often, it was my first ever visit to this Carl's Jr outlet, mainly because there are much too many restaurants, fast food joints, food outlets and high calorie food to choose from.
It was a great experience. Great because I was served by this really really really cute Caucasian staff, tall, handsome and very polite.... and of course deeee.....licious burgers....
I would say that the location of this joint is like an indoor alfresco styled setting. Why... because you get the natural sunlight from the floor to ceiling glass window, you get to seat by these windows, watch the busy road below, trees swaying in the wind, birds flying blindly into the well polished glass yet.... no sweat from the blazing afternoon sun on the Sunny Island Set in the Sea.... Plenty of well cushioned seats and clean tables. While I was there, I could see that the outlet is understaffed, there is only this cute guy at the counter, the branch manager and another kitchen staff in the kitchen and there is this two other guy dressed in well ironed shirts and pants looking more like area manager or management staffs of the franchise. While lunch hours picks up, this 2 management staff actually helped clean the tables, pack the rubbish, go around collecting trays and greeting customers. I was impressed watching all these happen and humbled as well.... Though understaffed.. I still feel that service is good. My order is served quick enough and the way its prepared is as expected.
Theres this promotion going on, called the S$7.90 combo meal which you can find more info at (http://carlsjr.com.sg/live/promo14.php) and I thought its the best value ever. I ordered the Chili Cheese Burger, which is done mexican style the way I liked it. Beef patty is juicy and the beef chili sauce is seasoned just right, the burger is huge and the combo comes with medium fries and a medium drink cup, I should say good for 2 if you are not a particularly BIG APPETITE diner, you could also upsize it to everything large for an additional S$1. The fries/chips is the best of the fast food chains I ever eaten and they are pretty generous in quantity...
I love the Self-Serve unlimited refill drink booth with free flow of ice tea and slices of lemon. The self-serve condiment is great as well, you get chili sauce, ketchup, salsa and pickles, which is really yummy..... The ingredients are of pretty decent quality and if you haven't tried a Carl's Jr Burger... you must try it.... and I'm sure you will be back for more!!! Stop counting the calories.. Just Burn MORE!!!
What comes into your mind when you hear about Chalets in Singapore? I recall wet and sandy bathrooms, mosquitoes aplenty, squeaky bed and a beach full of noisy teenagers.... but this place is nothing like i've ever imagined....
I was first greeted by a private parking area exclusively for only two bungalow (G & H) with 8 parking lots and a security barrier... Walking into the house, which is nicely cooled at 25 degrees by a nicely decorated hall by a strong shiny LG air-conditioning. Containing 4 bedrooms at 3 levels with every room equipped with a good strong aircon, nice clean bedsheets, firm beds, LED TV and PS3 for our complete entertainment pleasure and super clean and luxurious bathrooms, complete with hotel grade toiletries and towels... Matter of fact, there is an air con unit at every level of the walkway, which i think its too luxurious.
At the hall, you will find a full fledged karaoke set complete with a selection of 2000 over songs to choose from, cable tv, wifi and a OTO massage chair. Theres also extra chairs, mahjong table, big strong circulation fans in the storeroom for huge parties.... Dining table can seat 8 and theres a kitchen with electric stoves, oven, huge efficient fridge and all you need to cook up a good meal for a big celebration. An efficient gas BBQ pit seats outside with nice huge wooden tables, a swing, lawn picnic table that seats 6 and you also get a private garden with beautiful lush wooden gazebos and good seaview. Tanning chairs and a door to the almost private beach. The beach is small but beautiful.... and i forgot to mention.... table soccer that is all yours to play... No need to put in the coins....... Airplanes fly low to land at the changi airport.. watch people sailing and coast guards driving their boats by... Its an all new experience.
Truly resort style living... I mean.... I would love to have a house like that.... minus the cleaning and maintenance.... Its a fabulous place to rest and relax... for a quiet family getaway and also for parties of up to 80 people.... Its a great place... especially for those who tend to get drunk during parties... You can just throw them at your private garden lawn area! Puke, Sleep, Snore all they want.. you know they are safe yet you won't have to smell their stench. Not many bugs or mozzies and its very clean and children friendly, only set back is that its exclusively for SAF personnel. So its high time we get to know more of these great people!
I agree with $money$ that the outlet is a tad too small, however it serves the people working around that area well. I mean sometimes you just want a packet of sugarfree candy to perk up the not too happy, non-efficient afternoons.
I love to shop at watsons actually.. I mean for a comfy 10 mins break.... Apart from snacks, candy and toiletries, sometimes there are some interesting finds. Like Hello Kitty Candy in Box... or snoopy limited edition pocket tissues, ....
I find this outlet especially convenient for those who wants a quick fix of painkillers for their headaches and when on dire straits when your mother's eldest sister (YI MA) comes visiting.... You wouldn't want to walk too far... Excellent location, however if you can have a bigger outlet, that will be great.... It has everything I need especially eye make-up removals for my panda eyes due to that smudging eye liner.
One of my favourite shopping must go.. is the supermarket.. WHY? because.. everything sold here is necessity and everything is affordable...
Unlike huge hypermarkets like Carrefour... I can always find what I want at cold-storage.. average sized well allocated spaces, neatly shelved and good variety of products. Most of the time, I could find some really premium things at a good quick-sale price and its simply soooo thrilling.....
Yesterday, while I was doing my normal weekend shopping I came across this really interesting white boxy freezer by the cashier.... On top.. theres a small label stating.. FREE ICE.. to keep your FRESH and Chilled purchases SAFE.... This to me is pretty refreshing... I never knew anybody would bother to provide ICE (FOC) I mean in Singapore.. FOC stuff are truly hard to find...... For this... I am giving Cold-Storage a good(4 Starred) review and a BIG PAT ON THE BACK... Gooooood JOB!!!
Its these tiny little gestures that tells us.. you care... about us... and not just about our fat wallets....
It is true... If you are being asked the third time, you are most likely to succumb into buying. Being a true singaporean chinese, I cannot but agree to try their drinks and boy.. i regretted not buying at the first "Would you like to try our drinks?" months ago!
Odin is a pretty unique stall in the Hawker Centre setting, situated next to my favourite BAK KUT TEH store, I always looked upon it as TOO CLEAN and ATTAS. The very chic setting with its super retro COCA COLA Chiller, boxes and boxes of TWINNINGs tea bags, Jars and Jars of Honey and premium dried tea making flowers, bags of mush-mellows... and friendly and gentle stall owners simply does not go along with the noisy hawker setting... I should say.. its like a twinkling star on a very dark night. However, I was touched by their passion and sincerity. Yes we can feel passion by just looking at the stall, it is kept extremely neat and clean with clear logos of Odin's cafe on drinking cups, takeaway cups, snack bags, labels and yes.. even matching t-shirts. Sincerity..... comes from the look of their eyes.... and their service.. Always keeping conversation light hearted, fast, efficient and not-pushy yet provides you clean takaways... so you can walk away in style...
Yes.. I've come across services that feels like: GIVE ME YOUR MONEY and TAKE THE STUFF.. Or the half past six kind of... sticky drink bags, or sauce stained plastic bags with soup about to burst the bag kinda thing... Its hawker... and its Singapore... don't expect service.. its SELF SERVICE.....
So much rattling for everything else but the drinks in actual.. Actually I only bought an Ice Honey Lime to takaway.. and I was impressed... because I could actually taste the Honey in the ICE HONEY LIME.. usually... i get more of ice and lime.... and sometimes it gets pretty lame.... The Honey is of pretty decent quality and the drink is just right... Matter of fact I was so surprised with the quality of the drink i am getting... I've decided to write this review the first thing i reach the office. If this S$1.80 maxi cup of ICE HONEY LIME is good... I believe the other things will be just as good...
While I sip mine ICE HONEY LIME which does not really dilute with the melting ice, I'll watch this review for other yummy stuffs from the Odin's Cafe. If you are nearby or a passerby, do drop by.... its cheaper then the premium bubble teas for sure..... and we should support our own local singapore businesses.
For the great service, passion and courageous vision.... I will rate them 5 stars There is indeed hope for the Singapore Service Industry...
