    I got the best shoe deals at Payless.... This outlet is slightly larger then the Suntec one, however the shoes are one of the finest somebody could find for similar price range.

    I love the heels, though they are high, they are extremely stable and comfortable to wear. The styles are pretty much european styles with some common brands from USA and Australia.

    If you would notice, the shoes are stacked high, arranged according to their sizes and you may find half sizes as well as wide toes (those with a W eg. 8W) for large toed girls like me.

    The soles of the shoes are made of pretty good materials and is non-slip while the inside is well cushioned. I must say the materials used and the make of the shoe is of a pretty good quality. I like the fact that the shoes are displayed in pairs for us to try on, ample seats as well as shoe mirrors to view them.

    Service is pretty good too, the helpful staff is friendly and has got good knowledge of their shoes while they give me alot of space to do whatever i want before i call on them to get me a new pair. The sales are also good. Be sure to flip over the price tags to see if they are on discount.

    The also do sell bags, sport shoes, men's shoes though limited in design, socks and accessories which I do not find as attractive as their main stream shoes :)

    Great shopping experience, great products and value for money!

    One of the decent places i could get a lunch without having to elbow anybody amongst the crowd... You cannot imagine the amount of consumers crowding this exhibition hall.... Its as if half of Singapore turned up for these special fairs such as the IT Show or the computer shows or the vacation fairs...

    Well though they have many choices of food and the Changi Point Shopping mall within a 5 minutes walk, I am unable to make the 200 meters walk with my aching legs. Yes I have been standing and talking, rushing around to entertain my customers for the last 4 hours with hardly a break and during my short and rushy lunch hour, i just wish i could easily find a seat and enjoy my whopper in peace. I would prefer burger king to many other restaurants and even the food court as I find it more reasonably priced, food comes quick... icy cold pepsi seats perfectly with my sore throat and french fries always makes me happie. Oh well my set also does comes with a mini sundae... we always need dessert to end a meal proper!!! Service is quick and prompt, the indoor seating is comfy with the air-con pumping out nice cool wind against the hot sunny singapore weather and tables pretty clean. Ample space for me to seat and enjoy my much needed lunch... :)

    Seriously nothing beats the Whopper....

    My favorite location for printing of stuffs... The price is reasonable, production is fast and reliable. I've been to many printers in my course of work and could always never find one that is fast with reasonable prices until POSTER CONNECTION.

    They do printing for name cards, phamplets, brochures, posters, pull up banners, decals, stickers and everything and anything else you can think of. Printing is fast and with a well equipped workstation like theirs, you are almost guaranteed super fast collection. Service is pretty good, matter of fact I find the retail supervisor Chun Hao very helpful and he even gave me a friendly ring on my mobile to clarify the logo details which i emailed him.

    Experienced, Helpful, Reliable, Reasonably priced and Good work quality. What more do you ask for in a printer?

    I'm not usually a vegetarian and I believe in beef, pork and the varied delicacies living in the ocean, however this restaurant changed my concept of vegetarian cuisine totally.

    The reason why I denied having vegetarian meals is because of the MOCK chicken, Mock liver, Mock whatever that is made using flour and gluten based products, made to have the texture and flavor of meat. I always wondered the act of consumption of MOCK MEAT and deemed it ironical or to a certain extent oxymoronic. However, here in MiaoYi... the dishes are not totally made of gluten based products that taste almost the same. Each dish tasted distinctive and different from the regular meat dishes yet with its own vegetarian character.

    1) Ginger Rice - Its nice, aromatic and delicious, though it reminded me a little of chicken rice.

    2) Vegetarian Peking Duck - Its actually the mock duck (which is made by deep frying tofu and tofu skin) wrapped in fresh lettuce and cucumber with sweet sauce. Its yummy and crunchy and weirdly refreshing.

    3) Vegetarian Seafood Soup - Which is an egg soup with plentiful of mushroom and more tofu. This one is regular for me.

    4) Stewed mushroom - which is to mimic some internal organs of animal is actually braised mushroom of 2 kinds. Its smooth and very tasty. Great to go with rice and I must say healthy.

    5) Fried Dumplings - Its a concoction of mushroom with black fungus and plentiful of vegetables, a very healthy combination.

    6) Lastly we had sweet n sour pork - which is a deep fried balls of tofu skin wrapped with vegetables, mushroom and fungus in a sweet and sour sauce.. Though its not as hard as the real sweet and sour pork, I love this version a little bit more as its very chewable and healthy.

    The presentation was fantastic and I like the part that alot of fresh vegetables were used in the dishes. Ingredients are fresh and most of the dishes are not deep fried. Occasional meals in this vegetarian restaurant could be an interesting change from the regular mundane meaty meals. It is very different from the other similar vegetarian restaurants and I must say defintely BETTER :)

    Thumbs up for the good service and creative cuisines :)

    We heard that this restaurant used to be so famous and well-liked by many older generations, so we decided to have dinner here.

    The location is pretty hard to find partly because the entire Toa Payoh Central / Hub or whatever name you have for it is just so large. But this place is near to the Toa Payoh Library, right in between the Macdonalds and SHOP & SAVE. Walk through the glass door and straight ahead.. you will find a pretty nostalgia looking entrance greeting you. The restaurant is big with many tables for a simple family of four all the way to big families like 10 or 12 and with the option of having a privacy space all to yourself. I think you could also have functions or even wedding at this restaurant. It has the setting and space for smaller scale functions.

    I spotted an interesting poster on the wall that has four squares at the corners of a large square in chinese calligraphy. we asked for the meaning and the helpful staff named ROSE... told use the meaning. Will post the picture for you to guess okay.

    The table setting is one that speaks of traditional chinese food with peanuts as starters. We ordered some of their more famous dishes and this is our verdict.

    1. Scallop with spinach - Scallop is of a good size and packs a good bouncy texture. Spinach well blanched and looked really green and yummy.

    2. Treasures in a pot - Good mix of ingredients and healthy to eat. Its not oily, taste is balanced, not too salty and contains a good array of seafood such as crunchy prawns, fresh squid, smooth fish fillets and mixed vegetables.

    3. Hokkien style fried noodles - This is suppose to be their winning dish as the restaurant is suppose to be famous for their hokkien style cuisines, however the fried noodles is a little disappointing for me. The noodles are a little overcooked and sticky, tasted a little too salty for my liking and no distinctive flavour. Just tasted like regular not so yummy fried noodles.

    Overall, I expected more wow factor and I find the restaurant pretty overrated. There is not much of an ambiance except that its really old school and the service is also old school attention. Food is okay only, no WOW factor. Theres not much a crowd though I was there Friday evening about 7pm for dinner, there were only about 5 other tables of small families dining there not including us. Portion is good, ingredients used are fresh and the only thing I like is the old school feel of the place. You can't get many of these in Singapore anymore.. so we should treasure these little spots that represents whats left of our diminishing culture and social identity.

    I love to shop around Bugis Junction, be it the Street Market that houses these small shops that carries the latest most in fashion and accessories or Bugis Junction itself the houses BHG as well as many other retail outlets such as Character Design comfortably cooled with a good air-conditioning and plenty of escalators...

    This shop is situated on level 3 right in front of the escalator near to the SISTIC/ Information retail counter and it is such an attractive shop, anybody who walked pass will take a second look at their merchandises. I would say they mainly sell really interesting stationary and table-top accessories. Some from famous cartoon or anime characters, jap or the good old Mickey Mouse Family line and made in japan stationary which I find intriguing.

    The quality of these made in japan stationary is really good and very functional. I actually picked and chose a few and the one that I would highlight is a simple pen that contains 2 different coloured pens and a pencil (3 in 1). The way to change the function of the pen is to click and release while you rotate the pen. Using gravitation to lock your desired colour of the pen in place. Very interesting right. Upon payment, the lady actually helped me check my merchandises and I could try the pens I bought just to make sure everything works well.

    The shop is extremely colourful and if you are looking for a special present for that special someone... You might consider shopping here... Mainly for youths and young adults, however you never know you might find something really intriguing... Oh Well.. I did! and I will go back for more stuffs.. really an interesting store, however the merchandises are really of a good variety, so don't forget to take your time to browse :)

    If you enjoy exquisite japanese food, you will enjoy dining here. Situated next to the swimming pool at the Jurong Country Club is the newly established Japanese Restaurant FUKUYA that served a good range of traditional and carefully designed Japanese Stir-Fries, Super fresh Sashimi and interesting sushi.

    I love the large window looking out to the pool side. Love the natural sunlight and vastness of the place. The overall theme of the restaurant is one that is simple, comfortable and casual. They do have plenty of tables for small group meet-ups as well as exclusive VIP rooms with wooden sliding doors (how charismatic) for larger groups of 8 or 10 or for a private dining experience. The counter seats are actually mine favourite location. You can interact with the chef at the same time watch how he prepares the food. Its like watching tv and having your dinner but with more fun and interaction.

    The food I must say is really a class of its own. The sashimi glimming with freshness; I could taste the sweetness of the raw fish though there were so many types, I couldn't recognize which is which but they tasted sweet, fresh and melts in my mouth... Every bite gets me floating to heaven, perhaps thats why I've been eating so slowly, which is usually not mine style. The oysters in a cup is fantastic and refreshing. I could really taste the ocean perhaps because its very fresh.

    The stirred fry beef with crispy garlic and vegatbles is yummy as well. Seasoned with a good array of compatible Japanese dressings, the beef is tender, juicy and full of flavor. I'm not quite a beef person but this beef makes me think otherwise.. Love the crispy garlic and juicy beans and beansprout... Great combination and an excellent balance in taste and chew factor.

    The radish in MISO Dressing is what I deemed as an exceedingly appalling dish. This cute round thing is so thick yet so tender and the tantalizing miso sauce wakes this usually tasteless radish up with a BANG! Its a little sweet and salty and the radish served this way is soft and refreshing. Its a great balance in taste and bring out a surprise.. A very interesting dish that I would recommend to try. Its exquisite and you wouldn't be able to find it anywhere else i think.

    Theres this BIG HOO HAA about the ever so delicious Mentaiko sauce and we have the pleasure to try it baked with cod, scallop and prawn with cheese. They are nice but i would prefer the seafood to be raw because the ingredients they use are extremely fresh and of good quality. The Cod is soft and creamy, scallop is juicy and packs a good chew, prawn with cheese is a little extraordinary. All is yummy and mentaiko sauce aromatic with just the right taste.

    Don't get me started on the sushi. They are exquisite. SUPER FRESH with just the right amount of rice and I must highlight the baby octopus... which i never had it served this way before... You could actually see the tentacles of this baby squid which is not marinated with excess sugar and salt but lightly grilled. Its Out of the World yummy, crackling with juice on the soft and chewy sushi rice and I must say Very HEALTHY.

    I had such a good meal here I was eager to go back the very next day. The food is exceedingly fresh and quality of the ingredients is so good you could actually taste them. Fresh, sweet, succulent and juicy. The portion is really good and worth the pricetag. I must say its premium yet worth your every cent. The chef put in a good effort in making every platter beautiful and themed to match the food served... Every small detail has been taken care of and I appreciate the effort in making sure my meal is one that near to perfection.

    Why perfection you will ask...
    First the aroma is tantalizing while the friendly staff placed the beautiful platter of your dish in front of you, they instinctively provide short and sweet information on your dish and making sure you are satisfied they leave you to enjoy the alluring view of whats on your platter. The food tasted fresh and balanced with a surprise on every dish. As you make payment, you start to appreciate the fact that every cent is so well-spent and who you would like to bring here when you planned your next visit. Simply Perfect.

    This is one of my favorite coffee bean and tea leaf outlets. Opened 24 hours on certain nights or must i say most nights, this is the place where me and my pals hang out on sleepless nights.

    Its not a small place. With large glass windows that allows a good view of the bustling crowd outside and lots of seats to accommodate lots of people. However, this outlet is almost always crowded even in the wee hours of the night...

    I must say service is not much and very much only while you order. I was once served my sandwich half an hour after I ordered and reason given was that a new staff being not orientated. I guess they have forgotten my order. Well, it happens and the staff was apologetic about it, as such, I let it go...

    Cleanliness at this outlet is also not optimal and I would suggest a location for customers to return their used cutlery, otherwise, the previous customer messed up the table, and there are insufficient staff to clear the tables and the next oncoming customer got to do so. Because of the lack of used cutlery locations, the oncoming customer will dump the used cutleries onto the other unused tables. So you will find piles of used cutlery on some tables. Its unsightly and dangerous...

    The location is great and I love the beverage and the food offered, however there is much room to improve in terms of service and cleanliness. :)

    The Service at this outlet is pretty good but the waiting time and area is unearthly. I was there to recontract and service is good however I think they should put up an enlarged poster of all their phone recontract prices somewhere for a better reference.

    The shop is pretty badly designed with narrow areas which made walking around a hassle and squeezy. The way the queue is designed to the registration counter is really bad as one had to snake through here and there to get into the queue. It can be quite frustrating where you have to cut into the queue to get to the back of the queue. Then while you are doing that you could see the angry faces of the uncles and aunties who must be thinking "Queue cutters ought to be slapped!"

    So after about 20 mins in the queue I got my ticket to queue for the processing counter with about 4 person before me and then nightmare begins. The waiting time cannot be gauged and the lounge have fewer then seats for 8 person. With one sole butt occupying the whole bench, we are down to 6 seats and there are like 30-50 people in that one shop. So i waited.. about more than an hour to get to my turn. The process was fast.. I think I got everything done in about 10 mins and I'm off to make payment. I don't understand why the waiting time was more than an hour when there are like 6-8 counters open... Hm..................

    It was a pleasant experience however waiting time is too long and the waiting lounge is stuffy, not enough seats and space and the design of the entire shop is crap. Could have just make more walking space and eliminate all the blockages here and there..... Bad use of space, its a pity.... though your service staffs are pretty knowledgeable, efficient and helpful.

    I'm using Max On Line at home and I must say I have no problems since day one, though during peak hours the line tend to be a little slower, but since many of the other users have switched to Fibre, mine cable seemed to be pretty alright.

    My whole family seemed to have switched to Max On Line mainly because of the Cable TV (SCV) and the bundled discounts with the mobile phone line. We have been enjoying the bundled discounts complete with a free home phone line which I find is not so good in terms of clarity as compared to the good old and reliable Singtel land lines.

    When I faced any problems, the 24 hours hotline provides me with good and timely advises. Courteous and helpful I must say of the tele-service staff and we usually could more or less solve all problems via the tele-conversation. Theres only once the technician had to come and they react to me within 24 hours which is extremely efficient I must say.

    So i strongly recommend StarHub services and products to all my friends and family as I am a very satisfied user. Though I must say, hiccups do occur sometimes due to random reasons but so far they have delivered a good job and product to me. Occasionally they do throw in some good packages or upgrades on the Cable TV programs as well as being in the Hub Club ( TV, Internet, Mobile User), I get to recontract my mobile plan every 12 months. :)

    Great Perks, Good Prices and Good Service
