I quite like this place.. Its full of the 60s Singapore feel. I mean where can you find authentic hawker food in an authentic setting such as this anywhere in town. Even the chairs and tables are wooden and made to look like street fair like in the movies.
This place is indeed a heaven for tourist who are looking for more cultural emphasis. The food is great. They have chup chye Png (Economy Rice) Why is it called ECONOMY? anyway, yong tou foo, the famous fried prawn noodles and other stuffs like 5 spices beehoon, etc. The variety is more then what you can have in one day, therefore return trips is a must.
The best thing i love is these aunties trolleying around a trolley of drinks to your table.. Just like the past, no more queing for your drinks.. as well as the dim sum dollies... whose pretty dim sum are still piping hot even after many repeatation of HAR KOW, SIEW MAI, LOR MAI KAI....
The food is not cheaper then our common hawker centres however, we must give credit to the beautiful city view as well as the fabulous interior deco. After a good meal, you can burn out all the calories by doing good shopping downstairs.
Its a fabulous place to bring your overseas friends as well as a good lunch out with friends.
Music is always associated with style and with that we must always buy in style, visit stylish Music Shops and act stylishly while browsing through the cds. Thats my STYLE....
I am no music guru, nor a critic. However, I know good music when i hear them. They should fit my style... Yeah! STYLE is important to me. Gramophones always fits my style. Just having a set of good speakers blasting at the entrance has already attracted people of my style. The speaker and amplifier system sounds more then fantastic, with the crispy high tones and full bodies mid tones as well as the powerful bass tones is enough to make anybody salivate.
As I entered the store, i felt more like entering a lounge. With soulful music blasting away and elegantly placed racks and racks of cds as well as beautiful interior deco. I mean I can laze here all day.. Looking through every CD while enjoying the free music.
They serve a good range of various genre of music as well as the not so famous and well known singers. I love these little gems when i find them. Beautiful Tones I call them, they are indeed not what we hear on our nominal radio yet strikes a farmiliar note with me.
You want movies, they have plenty of DVD titles to choose from. Sometimes you can get them at a bargain. They have some off the rack items which are really a steal.
You can get almost everything here in Gramophone without the crowd and with free great tones as well as great service.
A good place to hang out or perhaps pick some great titles to brighten up the monday blues.
Its is crowded.. and i mean CROWDED.. The sits are so close to each other, as much as the market place. The food served were of a great variety, however, they are not as fresh as I want them to be. I particularly love their deep fried stuffs; like tempura prawns, chicken and etc. as well as their paper pot, which never fails to amaze me.. How come the heat can boil the soup without burning a hole in the paper?
They have a good range of sashimi but i would prefer them to be colder for my delight. They do also serve a variety of drinks and coffee which i love to take my time to savour them, however, I don't have much time to savour them. I somehow feel too cluttered and wanted to leave as soon as I have had my fill.
I should say its a fabulous place to indulge in food if you're looking for quantity. Its not exactly cheap but fun to go to with friends as its really casual dining and have a good range of jap food. The dessert area was ok.. with some nice mochi, cakes and ice creams. I find the durian puffs nice.
Its is a beautiful place. Situated in the middle of NOWHERE as well as lush greenary. I could say its a hideout right smack in the city.
So much about the surroundings, the interior deco is great. Simple and Zen-ish... with beautifully placed furnitures. The glass house features indoor and outdoor dining. 2 places i love the best.
1. The level one open air bar... Its beautiful to hear the bustling of the traffic but yet can't see it. Surrounded with greenary one can expect mosquito bites but if you are the thick skinned kind.. thats the place for you. Very stylish and sexy to hang out at especially in the late evenings when it starts to get cool and dark and you have the beautiful lights illuminating the greenary around you.
2. The level 2 open air balcony dirnking area. Nice cosy couches with a plentiful comfy pillows. I particularly like the fans. Antique looking but boy they are strong fans... cools up the place quick and effective. Its quiet and comfy and stashed away. I always love the feeling of a hideout.
They serve a great deals of drinks and cocktails. The food was great and served beautifully. Service is great and waitress helpful, however the toilet is at the ground level, in which is not so good for tipsy friends, less they roll down the steps.. which then again is a much quicker and safer for us, their sane friends dragging them home. But they ain't heavy, their my sisters!
The price range i should say is mid high. However its a great experience. A must go to check out place.
Great place for that unforgettable Dinner for 2 or perhaps a lazy afternoon food indulgence with the girls after your christmas shopping session. Believe Me.. You deserve to be pampered.
This Lobby Restaurant serves us with a great view of the greenary outside as well as the relaxing man-made waterfall, buzzling away all our stress and anxiety. Full Length High Glass Windows leaves an unobstructed view of the outside and somehow removes all obstruction of speech and promotes the openess in conversation.
The food is great. With sets and of sets of delightful yummilicious food on one side and beautiful desserts on the other corner. They offer i quote "exquisite international, Asian and local favourites on the menu. Our must-try signature dishes are Soya glazed gindara with braised somen, Crabmeat fried rice and Sheraton Towers Laksa served either fried or gravy style. Mouth-watering desserts that we are famous for include Chilled aloe vera jelly, Strawberry mille feuille, Mud Pie and Sheraton Towers’ own Ice Burger."
I would love to mention their fabulous sashimi which is so fresh that it melts in your mouth and smoked salmon and salad appetizers. They have a great way of presenting their appetizers and desserts in which i cannot but have to worship them with my eyes first before indulging in every bit of them.
I particularly love their durian cake. In which is served in the lunch buffet bad sadly have been gobbled up by the diners within 10 minutes of serving. However a great waitress brought me a piece FOC, or should i say on the house with orders from the chef after i repeatedly begged her for it.
And boy its really nice....
There are light durian sponge cakes on top in small cubes as decoration and a little cream. The inside of the cake is 80% made of REAL CREAMY DURIAN. So smooth and the texture was great. I can never have enough of that cake and its one of the best i've tasted so far.
So if you're there.. don't forget to drop by the cake display cabinate at the entrance of the THE DINING ROOM.. and its a great experience for me and i'm sure for you too.
