A place to con those disney fans. Practically no nice filling adult food there. Spaghetti is like $8-10, Pizza for $15.95, both not nice to eat. Food served are from simply microwaved type. Smoothies ($5 ) and ice-cream are ok. Overall, it feels more like a place for dessert than for a proper meal. Surprisingly, the place is still crowded, maybe because parents are bringing their children there for the Disney theme, not the food.
I hate the hard selling tactics they employed. They would not let you go unless you sign up for their package. They pretend to let you try out their products, and the next moment, they let you sign on the bill. No thorough explanation.
They are always fully booked for the day. No free slots.
There are the usual competition (Olympic) pool, wading pool just like in normal public swimming complexes. What makes it different are the Lazy River, Wave pool, Jacuzzi, and Wave pool.
I like to laze in the Lazy River. Just let yourself float on water (or simply place yourself on a water float), and the flow of water will bring you around the premises. It is so relaxing.
The jaccuzis are nice, but they are always in use by many users during the weekends.
The Wave pool is too cold for use. The constantly moving air due to the waves and cold water will make you shiver like mad. The waves come at a regular intervals.
The slides there are abit worn out. Seriously doubt their durability.
Lastly I enjoy the experience there, and the after experience too when I visit the coffee shops nearby for a plate of rice due to hunger.
Nice place to visit for swimming, after their renovation few years back. There is a competition (Olympic) pool, teaching pool, learner pool and wading pool.
However, given that it has to serve the huge population of the East (Simei, Tampines, Pasir Ris), the pools are quite crowded through the weekends.
Water is quite clean (no dry leaves floating on water or sand particles in the pool bottom).
I like the gift boxes they sell at Daiso. You can't find them at $2 (for the size I took) elsewhere like Spotlight.
And yes I agree that not all things there are considered cheap at $2. So please do check out the market rate of similar items before proceeding on to make a purchase.
Meanwhile, my colleague likes to buy those fake long nails from Daiso, which I believe is cheap too.
Tampines Mall is indeed very crowded, but it is the crowd that makes it vibrant. It is like a mini version of Orchard, with most of the popular stores found in this shopping centres. I like their roof-top garden. Interesting place to explore.
The escalators are the ones that put me off. So difficult to manoveur through the crowd at the escalators if you are in a rush.
Very nice place selling mochi ice-cream. Provides more flavours than those selling in supermarkets. There are Tiramisu, Chocolate Vanilla, Green Tea, Chocolate Mint, Guava, Vanilla, Sakura, Pistachio, Chocolate Espresso, Passion Fruit, Chocolate Coconut, Mango, Strawbeery, Raspberry, Cocolate Peanut Butter, Lychee, Azuki Bean, Blueberry, Strawberry Dark Chocolate Chip. So many flavours!!
I like those non-fruity ones. You get to choose your own desired flavours to place into the box if buying more than 1. usual price is $11 for a box of 6 mochi ice-cream. Dry ice will be provided. And the staff will indicate the flavour of each mochi ice-cream on the box, in case you forgot what you ordered.
I dislike the service rendered by the staff there. The hairdresser was pulling my hair backwards with such a force that my neck is going to break anytime from the back. I feel that they treat their customers more like Barbie Doll than human beings (as there is always UHU glue available to glue the neck back if it breaks).
The staff were like intentionally holding back information from customers. They highlighted that my regular hairdresser was not around the day I visited the place, but explain to me that it would mean I have to pay for hair trimming for my session, until I query about it during payment.
I like challenger as i can always go back to the store with the receipt and goods for an exchange within 7 days.
I must say, yes the eastpoint branch is much smaller than the Funan branch. However, the major essential items are all still available at the Eastpoint branch.
An alternative to the Eastpoint branch will be the White Sands, with lesser TVs on display, more computer products.
Ma Maison has numerous chain outlet back in Japan. I didn't try the food in Japan when I was there.
I had tried the food at The Central outlet. Like their ambience and decor. Even bill paying system is unique. You will be given a "key" and you have to take the "key" to the cashier counter to make payment.
Went there for dinner. Not that very crowded, still manage to get a table. Had Escargot. Quite nice. Hamburger steak set was nice. Omu rice set was nice too, but not that filling.
