Catchy signboard "Made With Love " caught our attention while we were shopping for gifts.
It is an art & craft supplies outlet where you could find almost anything that you need to make a card, a 3D present, unique scrapbook, photo album,etc. They also have educators who conduct workshops to guide beginners who are interested to create their own DIY present.
As we browsed through the rows of shelves, we were excited to see interesting items like cute buttons/stickers, templates, die-cut 3D paper embellishments, pattern-design punchers, colourful ribbons, little trinkets and paint markers.
We decided to buy some of the unique items to try out ourselves after looking at the finished products on display at one of the shelves. The staff was friendly to give some ideas on creativity techniques. She has also encouraged us to refer to their website for new products or classes being uploaded regularly.
This is one place worth checking out if you intend to give your loved ones a present made specially by you ( with love ) and will be one and only one in this world...
A shop full of pretty things ranging from handmade leather pouches to pretty printed and carefully embroidered table cloths. The shop houses many pretty things, specially crafted by artist that produces in small lots as such many items are unique and you may not find them anywhere else.
Love the decorations on the shop, the eye catching vintage bike in white and blue parked outside the shop with a wooden bench to seat and read is enticing for curious cats like me. The sweet panoramic voice singing in French as i entered the shop seemed to quite fit the theme of the interior decorations of this pretty and characteristic shop. While I looked upon these beautifully displayed items categorized from artist to artist I felt I have been brought back to the small book shop at a backstreet in Florence. Many things caught my eye...
1) Leather bounded Note books / Diaries - I love note books and to scribble, as they felt more real than my mobile phone. Here you can find a good selection of notebooks, be in real or faux leather and I've found some in fabric as well as tape binded... Really interesting
2) Cat Bow Ties - Found these pretty pet collar which i assume is for cats that came in bow ties and little tiny ties in printed fabric.
3) A selection of CD compilations in French - These selections sounded great, at least the one that is playing on the background sounded soothing and I feel immediately artistic - fied...
4) Post Cards - Found many interesting postcards with interesting pictures and slogans... Though i do not collect them yet I wish I have started to do so.
5) Air Plants - Yes i found living things... beautiful little air purifiers landscaped to look like a real jungle :)
I will be back to explore more.... but photography is prohibited in the shop as such i've provided some pics of the outside so you could easily recognise it... Love the place
Eastpoint Mall was re-opened in Dec 14 after major upgrading works. Unfortunately, it has attracted a lot of feedback regarding issues like the main passenger lifts are always full with customers and trolleys. Some questioned the logic of locating this supermarket at Level 5 which shoppers waiting at lower levels are not able to use especially those in baby prams and wheel-chaired.
As there is only 1 set of escalators, all shoppers are being made to walk one big round on each floor and that is where we saw this new food outlet.
There is only one family waiting in front of us. When we glanced around, we saw a few empty tables but leftover food was not cleared. It looked like this outlet is understaffed. The family of 4 decided to make their own way to one of the tables after waiting for 10 mins without any single staff attending to the queue. We also walked to another table and signalled the staff to clean it for us while we quickly ordered our food.
We ordered those usual items that Penang is well known but unfortunately, it was the wrong choice.
Penang Char Kway Teow ( $8.80 ) - Thin strips of noodles with countable bean sprouts that is very bland except for medium-sized prawns.
Chicken Rendang ( $10.80 ) - The most expensive and disappointing dish as it looked more like curry chicken with diluted gravy.
Cuttlefish with KangKong ( $7.80 ) - Again, diluted sauce and vegetables are overcooked and soggy.
Bubur Cha Cha ( $4.80 ) - Only 1 spoonful of ingredients. Both the yam and sweet potatoe cubes are tasteless and every spoon stir caused them to break into pieces.
Steamed Rice ( $2.00 ) - Small bowl of half-cooked rice
We are very disappointed with the dishes and more upset when we saw the bill. 10% service charge for not ushering to table, no staff available to attend to order and walking to counter to pay? Now we truly understand why we should support tipping instead of being slapped with service service when there is clearly none being offered to us.
If you are reminiscing your last trip to taipei, then you should head on down to Eat at Taipei in which i was also very surprised to find some really yummy but uncommon selections on their menu. Adding to that is the very interesting location of this cafe with plenty of seats, right next to the ice-skating rink in JCube.
It was a lazy saturday and we've decided upon watching happy skaters wheezing pass us while we dine at EAT AT TAIPEI. The entry was confusing as nobody was at the counter to lead us, (looking understaffed), the cafe wasn't even half filled with people however the staff was busy walking up and down and we sat on a table overlooking the skating ring. Well, they have bar seats where you are right next to the rink however judging by my teenie weenie skirt and indecent exposure is not recommended, as such we stuck to our spacious square table.
The selection on the menu was pretty interesting with a good selection of street food and staples made famous by the night markets in Taiwan. We were ecstatic and though we loved fried stinky tofu and oyster vermicelli we decided on the Braised Pork Rice and Da chang Bao Xiao chang (Grilled taiwanese sausage with rice).
1) Braised Minced Pork Rice ($10.50), was a little too little and was too salty. Not too yummy with no wow factor. Just averagely good.
2) Grilled Taiwanese Sausage ($8.90), was overpriced and the oyster sauce added was inappropriate and salty, though the look was good but was not even 20% close to what was served in taiwan, lets not talk about the famous yummy Da Chang Bao Xiao Chang.
3) Fresh Soy Milk ($3.50) was not fresh as a matter of fact it tasted like instant soy milk, what a let down.
4) Wet Tissues ($0.60) in which we didn't use. We were not aware that they charge for wet tissues and well there were no dry tissues available too.
5) NO WATER SERVED.... yes, they don't serve plain water, not even from the tap... good grief.....
Will not return, however we give them the benefit of the doubt that the other stuffs on the menu might be good. Dessert selection was not good too but nice deco and good effort. Staff was pretty efficient and did what they should do.
Cashier was a counter not within the sitting area, so its pretty not obvious... Silly me actually walked entrance to entrance twice to make payment....
Welcome to the new Korean / Japanese Street-wear Street. I was very surprised to find this level at the JCube Shopping mall to have transformed into a marketplace with many small shops selling hip and up to date fashion, accessories and some interesting things that we seldom could find elsewhere.
Blinking sign boards and even a social wall that allows hip youngsters to take pictures and get uploaded. I mean this is way cooler then squeezing into the photobooth having paid $4 if not more and ending up with a picture tinier than a posting stamp with a shocked facial expression. Love the new transformation and the opportunities for seasoned vendor, entrepreneurs and leisure small business owners to own a stall to sell their items for a period of time.
I checked the place out months apart and find the stalls turnover to be quite stable. There are still empty spaces or I should say more spaces are being overhauled to add on to the marketplace. Well I must say the facilities, amenities and space given for each shop is good and it does get pretty crowded on weekends with mostly teenagers and students hanging out. Love the good variety of finds while I window shop through the spacious walkways. I spotted korean fashionable ladies clothings at a good price of $10 - $20 and some jap streetwear looking accessories like scarfs and cuffs with another shop that sells all korean famous movie stars apparels and memorabilias.
There are a few snack shop, not forgetting the ever so popular Bubble Tea Chain GongCha has also a space here, a cafe that sells ice cream and waffles, one more that provides ice-kacang (taiwan style snow ice) as well as sandwiches and knick knacks to munch on when you shop. I tried a savoury pancake which sadly was not well made however I think it will serve well as a walk around snack for teenagers especially the ham and cheese (pizza like) flavours.
The place is clean, aircon cool and theres some sitting and resting benches for those who wants a short break. The place is well-equipped for big crowds and very convenient as its a stone throw away from the Jurong East MRT Station. Its a pity that there weren't any sign boards that could popularize J.Avenue as with the current many malls opening up at Jurong East, one could be very distracted and confused when it come to this place. Just be sure to head towards Jurong East's oldest Mall, the one nearest to the library and pop up to level 2. Otherwise look for a west side resident like me to bring you around. #sgwestrocks
Tunisian Cuisine, is a reflection of the exotic blend of the Mediterranean influence and the nomadic nature of their desert dwelling ancestors. The distinctive spicy fieriness and the clash of brightly coloured ingredients served in equally bright and colourful hand made clay dining wares are the expressions of the friendly, bold and joyful nature of the Tunisians themselves.
One of the first and perhaps the only Tunisian Restaurant you can find in the culture melting pot of Singapore, carefully tucked in the midst of the rustic Rochester Park serving a good variety of "sun cuisine," based mainly on olive oil, spices, tomatoes, seafood and meat. With private parking spaces, a little tikes toy house to occupy the little children and located close to nature, this diner is great for families or individuals who love good food and enjoy alfresco dining with fresh air in the lush greenery.
We took a leisure walk on a breezy weekday evening here to have dinner and were greeted by aromatic freshly baked bread at the entrance. We were intrigued by the selections on the menu, though simple yet many were uncommon dishes. The staff (assuming she's the lady boss) carefully described each dish to us and by the end of it, we almost decided to order everything. Being obedient to the protest of the "non-wasteful white angel" we ordered all the Recommendations... which is somewhat the best and most authentic heirloom recipes from Tunisia itself.
From the Tapas Menu, we had
1) The Brik - which is somewhat like a chinese spring roll which was tasty and crispy and we had to squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the roll to bring out the taste of the filling. It was well executed and filling surprising which we will not say what, yet you must order and try it for yourself. Amazing...
2) Cous Cous Salad - This vibrant dish is tangy with loads of mixed colourful vegetable like the tomato, capsicum and many other yummy stuffs. Very appetizing and refreshing.
3) "The Real" Chakchouka - served in a pan filled with tomato, eggs and home baked bread. We love the bread when its dipped in the pan sauce, as the burst of flavour on the piece of soaked up bread was overwhelmingly nice.
4) Chicken Couscous Tunis - is a small grain rice dish that is made with very healthy grains that felt a little like unevenly mashed grainy potatoes. Very nice texture and yummy tasting sauce and condiments with a clean finish that was appetizing.
Dinner was extremely pleasant and friendly and we managed to dig out an interesting love story of how a Singaporean Girl met a Tunisian Man and how he lost her, found her and settled here with the WEJS...
As for the meal, it was like home cooked Tunisian Food. Down to earth, full of fresh ingredients and heart-warmingly delectable.
If you haven't tried the new G Blend from drinksuperlah.com , you might have just missed out the goodness of the super anti-oxidant mangosteen and the rarely available Gac Fruit.
While you can google all about the benefits of Mangosteen, you may not have heard of the new craze GAC FRUIT which Fox News labelled "Strange Name, Powerful Fruit". Originating in Vietnam, this fruit is not easily transported yet contain the highest concentration of beta carotene of any known fruit or vegetable (ten times as much as carrots).
I was shared the goodness of the drink by a good friend and also enlightened by my research on the need of anti-oxidants in our body since we enjoy processed food and meaty stuffs more than raw veg and berries are not widely grown in our local climate, as such we don't get them fresh and well ripe.
Its pretty straight forward to order from the DrinkSuperLah website as there is only one product and one option. So being very focus, we placed the order in the cart and proceeded to pay with our credit card. We opt for delivery and received the goods 2 days later via courier. The item arrived in a purple printed brown box with 6 glass bottles of this 'modern day elixir'. We took a good look at the nutrition facts and useful information on the box and the bottle before we dunk some ice in a glass to try it out.
One colleague liked the subtle fruity taste and another loved the texture. While I enjoyed it blended with some ice and cranberry juice to make a smoothie, another good friend of mine preferred it paired with guava juice. Its a great base for a healthy mixer and we are excited to blend it with bananas and perhaps our good old Orange Juice to see how the explosion of taste would be like. I guess there is minimal preservative as the drink was almost not sweet at all, maybe a hint from the natural juice. Petite in taste yet the thick texture gave me the impression of the great amount of fruits used in one bottle.
I briefly noted a fine print that states consume within 3 days of opening... which indicated to me the au-natural characteristics of the drink with little preservations as we know synthetic drinks with lots of preservatives tend to last forever... Thumbs Up!
Very quick delivery and secure site, we hope there would be more varieties of similar drinks with similar goodness otherwise better to be included on the site. Thank you friend for introducing the drink, you know who you are :)
Got my quick fix on my sweet tooth at the Bread Talk Cafe at westgate last weekend. Love the entire look of the cafe as it served up a good variety of local fairs. Nice clean environment with plenty of seats however we didn't manage to dine there as lunch was way too heavy.
Love the idea of a permanent outdoor cart that served up churros. Churros were crispy and smelt heavenly. You get 3 flavors to choose from such as with chocolate and chopped nuts, cinnamon sugar and just plain.
We tried the chocolate chopped nuts and its yummy. It was fluffy and crispy on the outside while the chocolate and chopped nut provided more taste and texture and well, service was great with friendly aunties getting us whatever we wanted and advised us on a good deal on bundled buys. Nice idea of having the cart and yummy churros...
Fell in love with this cafe... The setting was nice for a slow lunch and food was amazing especially sandwiches and other baked items. The cakes were so good and made with one of the healthiest recipe that did not compromise with looks and taste.
Its a pretty new joint opened a couple months ago at the edge of the entire mall where you can see the service road while being carefully hidden by a wall of greenery. Not many tables however good enough to house say about 30 people max.
The selection on the menu was not extensive however the variety was exquisite. I shall skip the yummy bakery and the oh so fantastic cakes for this review but just would like to mention the Beetroot burger that had blown me way off...
It was a vegetarian burger that I thought would be"vegetarianly bland" tasting and by the way is what I label as a HEALTHY DIET... While being extra fervent for a somewhat saintly food, after a hedious korean BBQ last night i've decided why not try the beetroot burger and despite the redish sauce that stained almost everything, the burger was delicious.
The bun was a crispy herby bread I've ordered which is likely a foccasia (I've forgotten what bread I've asked for) and well stuffed with a good choice of greens with a beetroot patty that actually do look like grilled medium done beef... The grilled beetroot patty was well seasoned that tasted yummy, with a good texture and the entire burger was just delicious with no bland taste... Nicely paired with avocado and a healthy olive oil dressing made this burger extremely tasty even to a non vegetable loving individual like me.
So I'm giving it a 5 star for making a vegan burger taste yummy and better than regular beef burgers....
They have moved from Joo Chiat to this present location. It was much bigger in terms of space but unfortunately lacked the cosy ambience that we enjoyed previously. It look more like a steamboat outlet than a Korean restaurant as the place was sparsely furnished.
We love their side dishes which are refillable and their main meat dishes which are thickly cut and tasted juicy.
As we have chosen the unlimited buffet menu, their helpful staff suggested we try first round of each type of meat mainly marinated pork, chicken, tiger prawns, seasoned beef slices, pork collar and pork belly. If we like any particular type of meat, we can then reorder again. On top of these meat items, we were also entitled to one time selection of soup such as beef, soya bean paste, spicy tou fu or kimchi.
When all the items are placed in front of us, the staff started to lay all the meat on the grill and helped us to cut into bite-size pieces. She then served each of us and even recommended which sauce will compliment what type of meat. Now, that was what we called good service.
We ordered 2 rounds of sliced beef and pork belly because it tasted so delicious and succulent.
Their sparkling drinks and heart-shaped water melon served at the end of the meal really completed our journey of good quality food in a smoke free environment.

As we have chosen the unlimited buffet menu, their helpful staff suggested we try first round of each type of meat mainly marinated pork, chicken, tiger prawns, seasoned beef slices, pork collar and pork belly. If we like any particular type of meat, we can then reorder again. On top of these meat items, we were also entitled to one time selection of soup such as beef, soya bean paste, spicy tou fu or kimchi.
When all the items are placed in front of us, the staff started to lay all the meat on the grill and helped us to cut into bite-size pieces. She then served each of us and even recommended which sauce will compliment what type of meat. Now, that was what we called good service.
We ordered 2 rounds of sliced beef and pork belly because it tasted so delicious and succulent.
Their sparkling drinks and heart-shaped water melon served at the end of the meal really completed our journey of good quality food in a smoke free environment.
