    One easy way of locating this small eatery is looking out for Thian Hock Keng temple along Telok Ayer Street. If you can't see it, that's only natural. Kah Soh is just directly behind the temple.

    I learnt about this place from a friend who operated his pub along Amoy Street, oh boy... I would have killed myself for not trying it. I keep giving myself excuses to drop by whenever I need to get work done around the area. The moment you stepped into the restaurant, the rich aroma of the fish soup seems to fill up every corner of the place.

    Don't expect young servers to take your orders, the aunties and uncles there not only lay the table for you but they are very knowledgeable about the food they sell. Coming to this restaurant, how can one not try their fish-slice soup? Afterall, fish soup is what they are infamous for.

    Their fish soup are somewhat different from what we usually see elsewhere. We still see a certain degree of transparency in fish soups found elsewhere, but here - the soup is white! According to the shop servers, that's only possible because they are using real fish bones and not artificial seasonings to create that soup base. With the thick bee hoon, everything melts in your mouth. Plus... the taste of fish without smelling stinky tells me of the freshness of their fish.

    There are other dishes to try of course, if you don't feel like having fish-soup noodles. The only setback is, tables laid out on the corridors are pretty dark. You need some waiting over the dinner time slot too.

    My verdict? Very unique fish soup. Thinking of it makes me hungry. Oh, if you're lucky you might just get to see the boss stopping by with his Ferrari.

    Note: Car park attendants patrol that area very very very frequently. Lose your heart to the fish soup, but don't lose your mind to the attendants! Get your coupons ready!

    Talking about creativity! This group of creative people sure has a great creative idea and I've a feeling this is going to be big! (One day)

    Saw them at MAAD today. I've to say, this is a very new and fun gift idea for everyone and anyone! Sure will put a smile on your friend's and loved one's face when you give a head to them. I am already considering getting it for couple of my girlfriends. (shhh...)

    Go check out their website for samples of the heads. So cute lah!

    Oh! btw... they're cushions aka huggables aka pillow or whatever you want to call it.

    Was planning to head to play boardgames at Boat Quay when we chanced upon this Thai Restuarant. Took a glance at the menu and found the price pretty reasonable. So we went in to get our dinner.

    I like the murals on their walls. Simple yet tasteful. Simple decor and gives a very easy and relax feel while dining. Clean too. Nothing fancy. I like.

    We ordered fried tofu (3 flavours), spicy chiang mai squid and green curry chicken. The food was nice and lightly taste. Its different from the other Thai food i had before which has a very strong taste of their spicies. Food here is nicely cooked with just the right amount of spice. You'll still be able to taste the original taste of the meat/vege with the sauce over it.

    Total spent $22 for 2 person. Worth a try.

    Hate the ERP? Hate the Orchard Road jam? Well, not to worry! Planet Fitness @ GWC is the perfect solution.

    Planet Fitness @ GWC is conveniently situated at such a location that we do not have to drive into Orchard Road, thus avoiding the ERP gantry. It is easily accessible from all directions, regardless if you're coming from Tiong Bahru, from Stevens Road, from Tanglin or from River Valley.

    Planet Fitness @ GWC supposedly hold a floor area 2/3 of Planet Fitness @ Suntec, but it does feel alot smaller when I am physically there. However, this gym still offers an enclosed studio without any qualms.

    Perhaps it's the smaller space, the machines appear to be closer to one another. Comfortable with a little "intimacy". This is one other gym that I visit because the crowd level seems to be lower. Of all the times I work out in Planet Fitness @ GWC, I hardly see a massive turnout. If you're someone who enjoys working out with lesser eyes on you, this will be the perfect place.

    I still visit this gym once in a while, mainly for weights and cardiac workouts. It can be quite boring running on the treadmills because Planet Fitness @ GWC does not boost a fantastic scenery like those of Suntec. Planet Fitness @ GWC also do not have any swimming activities available, which I always enjoyed after each session.

    If you think you are missing out on the shopping, fret not! Great World City has some exciting shopping for you to do after your training. Nearby, there is also a hawker centre to offer you a nice dinner. If that's not enough and you crave for some action on the dance-floor, Zouk is less than 300 metres away while Mohd Sultan is 5 minutes drive away.

    I would say it's an excellent place if not for some minor details. Tighter space making it feel more cramp, but yet small crowd seems like I can have the entire gym to myself. I'm still feeling sore there is no swimming activities in GWC... haha!

    My verdict? Good! If only they could throw in just a little bit more.

    Pepper Lunch... Interestingly NEW CONCEPT....

    I was lured in by the LCD TV outside the shop, showing the procedures of cooking our own lunch.... so i thought it was really interesting and decided to give it a go....

    I wonder... when did we actually Quality Control our Customers.. New concept New concept.......

    This restaurant is indeed a noisy one.... besides the sizzling noise made by the hot plates, i could say the japanese culture really did get into the singaporeans working there.....

    They spoke broken japanese with a bad accent loudly, trying to encourage the other staff but rather it annoyed me a little...

    Annoying the customers when they enter the restaurant....
    New Concept New Concept...........

    So i look through the menu.... and the food really looks appetizing..... So i ordered 2 beef patties on a hot plate....

    I was quickly issued my seat and i sat down with my friends appreciating the whole theme and environment. Shortly our food came. The friendly staff asked us if we know how to cook our food... I stunned and looked at my friend sitting next to me... and he replied... " I am a qualified cook now where is the stove......

    And we wondered.. why did we pay near to $10 to cook our own food....... When char kway teow is only $2 a plate..... New Concept New Concept......

    The food was good.... there are 2 types of sauces to choose from and it was delicious, but by the end of my meal i suddenly realised that there were spots of sauces all over my pink polo tee......

    And i pondered...... Dirty Dancing.... DIRTY EATING???
    New Concept New Concept.....

    When we finished our food, the staff quickly cleared the table and went "Thankyou Please come again....."

    I starred at my friend in shock wondering...

    The faster you get your customers out of the shop the higher the turnover and so... its part of the jobscope of the staff to.....
    NEW CONCEPT NEW CONCEPT......


    Lunch $10........

    New Polo Tee $50...............

    Emerge smelling like delicious beef after a satisfying meal and learning a NEW CONCEPT....................... PRICELESS............

    I agree with kormmandos, you really pay for quality at sushi tei.... but i can say that for the kind of quality and variety they offer, the price is pretty reasonable.

    Like most high end japanese restaurants, Sushi Tei serves food that is fresh and is processed by experienced chef.

    We could judge this by simply biting into the sushi. The sushi rice by conventional sushi restaurant chains which uses machine to shape the rice are hard, tight and sticks to your teeth when u chew into them.

    But Sushi Tei's sushi rice is like those hand made by experienced sushi chefs are soft but not soggy, firm with shape but yet not tight, Loose but does not come apart easily and most importantly it does not stick to your teeth when you chew at it.

    The variety of dishes in the menu is fabulous. I had their raw lobster once. When the lobster is being served, the legs are still flexing a little. That shows the very experience slicing skill of the sashimi chef. The raw lobster was sweet, juicy and simply melts in your mouth. A real delicacy......

    Simple dishes like just wheat noodles with an egg in soya sauce taste fabulous too. Though simple and light, this humble dish bring about an explosive taste. Once you tried it, you will never forget the taste and will continuing want to have it. Thats the KUNG FU of a POWERFUL CHEF...

    If you want a more chic looking place to impress your business customers, you could always try the outlet at RAFFLES CITY.... Classy with a good selection of food, desserts and beverages. The warm ambience is good for business meetings and gathering with friends. If you are just interested in the food, i suggest you pop by the Holland Village or the Takashimaya Outlet......

    Really MUST TRY!!!!

    Calling all book worms out there.. This is an online book store that carries a great selection and variety of books.

    Prices are rather reasonable and they deliver right to your doorstep, wrapped in plastic and packaged in a padded envelope... I was personally impressed by the packaging as i encountered many home delivery products such that when i bought it online it was pretty and in fabulous condition but when i delivered to my home, it was KIAM CHAI......

    Though i love shopping at book stores, browsing at the books and reading leisurely at its content, I feel pretty pissed when i just couldn't find the books I want. Hours and hours of browsing through the shelves and the book is right smack in front of me... Especially when i am in a rush or i needed the reference urgently, how could i spend precious time scanning through the shelves or run from book shop to book shop.

    I chance upon Zakoola while reading a magazine in which, I couldn't remember the name of the magazine and I gave it a go. It was good. Payment was easy and the prices are reasonable, no queues and the book is in fabulous conditions. From then onwards.... no saint can stop my book shopping spree..... I even buy them as presents for my friends. Sometimes, its just difficult to meet up and I would just order a book, get it wrapped nicely and send it to their house.

    Books are such excellent gifts for your friends and for yourself.....

    Its hard not to recommend such a good site...

    If you like japanese food but do not want to be too harsh on your pocket, Sakae Sushi is the place to go.

    One of the biggest japanese restaurant chain in singapore, Sakae sushi offers value for money delicate japanese cuisines. Even though the food does not taste like high-end japanese food, but its quite reasonable for the price that is being paid.

    I love Japanese food, especially Sashimi and Sushi..... and i frequent Sakae sushi, at least twice a month. For a short snack or a hearty meal after my hunger strike I would go to Sakae Sushi.

    The items i love most would be AVOCADO SALMON SUSHI... I like the creamy avocado on raw sweet salmon.... I could eat as much as i want as each coloured plate except the red plates are going at $1.90.

    If you haven't tried and you love japanese food, do drop by Sakae Sushi... You could find Sakae almost everywhere and you will never miss the green frog, its logo.

    I was quite surprised with the overall interior decoration of this outlet. It absolutely goes well with the overall theme of VIVO city.

    The HUGE high glass panels made it feel like afresco dining yet you can still enjoy the nice cool air-conditioning. A very elegant and chic place to have your favourite sundae in.

    I could recall my dad used to reward the family with an outing to the swensens restaurant at the Changi Airport for ICE-Cream.. We loved the EARTHQUAKE and the Fries with sauces.

    The old menu was great, but the additional items in the new menu at the VIVO outlet is even better. I can have more choices of meal course and desserts. How wonderful.

    My personal favourite dessert is Colt Tower... It has chocolate ice cream, fudge and chunky peanuts on top, it is beautiful to look and yummy to have.

    The other very nice dessert is the Apple Crumble in a pan..

    Sizzling hot Apple crumble with a scoop of rich Vanilla Ice cream on top served in a pipping hot PAN.... Oooh.........
    Drizzle some milk and DIG IN.......

    Its sweet and buttery.... Soft crumbs soaked in a little caramel and milk simply melts in your mouth.... Hot hot pastry with cold cold ice cream. This is what i call HEAVENLY....


    4 thumbs up...............

    Why shouldn't anyone love Planet Fitness @ Suntec City?

    The location itself, is close to perfection. Being situated close to offices, exhibition halls and the shopping strip linked within the 5 blocks of Suntec City makes it such an enticing place to visit. Exiting from the lift, the sleek sight of the entrance just makes one feel like dashing right into the gym. Friendly staffs greet you at the reception, before you proceed into the changing room.

    It's ironical to say, the changing room is one of the most pleasant place to hang around. Hygiene and cleanliness are two important aspects to me, and Planet Fitness @ Suntec met my expectations wonderfully. Spanking clean and tidy, I really wonder how they manage to keep their changing room and bathing section so well maintained. The lockers are a pleasure to store our bags and clothes, instead of having to worry about dirtying them.

    One might feel lost if they were to step into Planet Fitness @ Suntec for the first time. That is understandable. Not only are we looking at a huge hall of workout equipments, this gym boost two levels of workout area. The weight and cardiac training are available mostly on the bottom level, while more treadmills are hosted on the second level.

    What makes me fall in love so much with this gym, is the fantastic scenery I can look out to as I work out. Never mind the TVs, even though there are plenty enough all around the gym hall. How many gyms are able to provide this "backdrop"? Honestly, I can't remember any.

    One other thing that I am highly impressed, the attention given by their trainers. The very first time I signed up, they took extensive discussions and light tests to determine my abilities and probable training schedule. They were always ready to offer answers, and that only mean they are all appropriately qualified to do so. When they see you long enough, it's a great pleasure to be addressed by our names... more like friends.

    No doubt I have shifted my training regime out of their cemented walls and glass panels, I still hold high regards for this particular gym. If you're a beginner in workouts, this is one place you should really go to.

    Oh, have I forgotten to tell you, gym members are entitled to use the Suntec Swimming Pool? (Not available to public) The only setback is, you gotta walk a distance to another lift to hit the waters. Otherwise, a small refundable deposit makes it all the more worthwhile. Not to mention, not many people knows Suntec has a windy swimming pool on its roof even.

    My verdict? Full thumbs up! A little expensive but worth every cent of it.
