I literally watched this place renovate and prepare for opening. I looked forward to it as it seemed to offer more reasonable prices and was much nearer to my place than the coffeeshop.
The day it opened, I walked past pretty late and was dying to get some desserts. My sister and I stood there for a bit waiting. We didn't know if they had takeaways and wanted to ask if they had Yam Paste. They have some tubs of paste that looked like Yam paste on the counter but it wasn't available in the menu.
We waited and waited. 2 servers and 2 ladies whom we figured were the bosses looked at us in the eye but didn't say anything. They stood in front of us and instructed something to the counter people without acknowledging our presence... After a full 10 minutes of standing there, we went home without our desserts. We were really patient weren't we?
A few days after, my father suggested for us to go eat there. Thinking that they were just overly busy that first day I agreed. We were greeted as we approached the cafe and seated quickly. They gave us the menus which were strangely worn.
Food Ordered:
Chicken Rice Set B (Steamed) - $5.50 This set came with soup and a reasonable serving of vegetables. Chicken Rice happens to be "main dish" of this cafe. Most of the people I saw ordered at least a set. The meat was not too fatty and the rice was just slightly fragant and not too salty. The vegetables (thankfully) were not overcooked. I'd agree with my dad that there was slightly more rice than the usual at coffeeshops.
Thai Style Chicken Cutlet Rice - $5
I liked this one more than the chicken rice. The sauce was tangy and spicy. The Chicken Cutlet was very crisp. The rice was plain white rice but the sauce was flavourful enough for me.
Marmite Pork Ribs - $10
This one was surprisingly disappointing. The ribs were really small and there were about 5-6 pieces only. Mighty expensive if I had to say. Maybe I'm feeling a little disappointed because I just came back from Wuxi and the infamous dish there is Pork Ribs.... Tastewise it's alright with enough fatty bits. The sauce was pretty tasty but I still find it expensive. Moreover its presentation wasn't nice at all.
With no GST/service charge, the total came up to $20.50 for 3 people. Foodwise it is better than your regular coffeeshops. And in terms of pricing, it's pretty competitive in comparison to the food outlets in this area, esp the air-conditioned ones. Judging from the business it's been getting, I'd say this is here to stay... :)
Was really looking for some chinese food in Paragon, but due to the extremely long queue, i decided to try out some thai food instead. Although the queue wasnt that long, but still i have to wait for at least 20 mins before i get my table.
I believe their menu has since changed the last time i patronize them. More varieties of food were in their menu this time. I believe most of the foods sold were cater mainly to the 'singaporean taste'. But fear not if you are looking for some 'thai taste', cause they have one section of bangkok street favorites in their menu.
Reading the menu was pretty simple, although most of the food were being represented in thai, they were accompanied by the english description. The beautiful pictures indeed gave me a much better idea on the food. Due to the lots more varieties, i look more than 15 mins before i can finally decide what to order.
Foods that i have tried include the honey chix rice, phai thai in seafood version, mango salad and tang hoon ball soup. For desert wise, it includes the sweet steam topiaca and the red bean dessert. They also have laksa, curries and wraps which i did not try them this time round.
I pretty like the honey chix rice. Although the portion is not as big as i have expected, the chicken taste pretty decent and juicy. One will be able to taste the fragrant honey taste in each chicken slices. As for the phad thai, it comes in three version, the seafood, the beef and the chicken (i think). I choose the seafood one, thinking the orignal phad thai comes with seafood.
To my dismay, the seafood tasted pretty 'hard'. Especially the cuttlefish, which i use pretty much effort to chomp them down. If one is not very concern about its seafood 'hardness', you can still try this dish out as its glass noodles tasted reasonably ok.
One of the most interesting dish will definitely have to be the tang hoon ball soup, as each of its ball are the size of a smaller version of the tennis ball. Of course, given the size, one cannot expect to have many of them in this dish. The texture of these meat balls was just right, making it not too hard nor soft. Together with the super sweet soup, it managed to enhance the entire dish, bringing it to a higher level.
Choose some of their specialty desserts, which includes the red bean and the tapioca. The steamed tapioca was pretty firm and hard, giving one a chewy chewy kind of feeling with every mouthful. Personally, i would pretty a less diluted coconut milk over the cube size tapioca.
The red bean dessert tasted ok and rather sweet. Intially i expected little red beans, but instead what welcome me was red bean paste. This paste proved to sweet for my liking. Together with the coconut ice cream, the red bean taste is abit too enpowering.
Overall, the dining experience was pretty ok. But being seated in a far corner, it proves to be harder to alert some of the staffs. Queue management wise was not a too-good experience, at one time they simply gave seats to the group at the back of the queue without informing the front people of their decision. I believe their service has roome for improvement.
Bought a dress from this place. Ordering is by leaving comments for the "collection" of clothes and the blog owner will email you. Reply came quick and courteous. Item was also sent very fast and nicely packed. However, items seems to be limited and expensive looking at the materials of the clothing. One commendable thing is, the designs of the clothes are unique and seldom seen on other blog shops.
Went for lunch at this place this afternoon as my friend heard the recommendation for it over the radio. Decided to order the Sirloin Steak ($10) even though I didn't know its the specialty there. I simply love to eat steak even though I dislike most meat.
Medium well for the steak. The cut wasn't too good as there are too much ligaments (?). However meat was tender and goes well with the sauce but I would prefer heavier beef taste. Came with baked beans and fried whipped potato (with butter I guess) and fries. Quite value for the price of $10.
A friend ordered pork and he did mention its just average and nothing special. However he loved the fried chicken which looked a bit weird but that doesn't matter when the taste is good.
Beef stew was fine, I heard, in fact, the beef tasted delicious. However the vegetables that came with the stew were cold.
Chicken chop ($5.50) also received a "normal" review. With a common sauce as Pork chop, the sauce didn't seem to blend well with the meat.
On the whole, I guess I won't deliberately visit this stall for the food.
Haven't been to Sofra for ages and so decided to bring a group of friends to try something "different" from what they use to savor.
As usual for starters we ordered the Hummus ($4.20) and the Sesame Bread ($3.40). The Bread was soft, yet crispy so that made it interesting. Together with the Hummus, which was tinged with lemon juice, it was a great start to our meal.
Izqara Kofte ($12.90) was served next. We ordered the mixed combination of chicken, lamb and beef. One of the more interesting dishes was the rice (Turkish Pilaf) . It was fluffy and very fragrant. Perhaps it was cooked in butter as they usually do with pilaf. We found out that the secret is in the sizzle – which gives it a creamy, buttery, and melt in the mouth consistency and taste. It’s the gastronomic equivalent of sinking into a huge armchair in front of a roaring log fire. But there was no log fire in Sofra. The meat varieties were well seasoned and it was refreshing for us as we were all hungry.
Sultan Kebab ($12.50) arrived piping hot in an oven baked tray. The lamb pieces were tender and complimented the mashed potatoes with baked creamy cheese that just kept oozing out in between the layers. It was not at all difficult to eat as the meat was in bite sizes.
The final dish was the Jumbo Kebap Combo ($34.90) just right for 2 persons. It has the eggplant Kebap, shish Kebap and doner Kabap. As usual, Sofra did not disappoint with their meat dishes which were done to the right taste and texture.
Yet another TCC experience. Only this time, it wasn't a coffee-day but a main course-day.
Menus at TCC vary slightly from place to place. But most of them are the same, other than the one at the Airport - has less food items, more coffee and drinks.
I notice that the food at TCC is rather American/Italian style but extremely localized. The ingredients used in their dishes tend to be common local dish ingredients e.g tofu, chicken, mushrooms, seafood etc. They do more sandwich and pasta, with generous portions of soup serving that's better to be shared between 2, or you'll be so full after the soup you can't finish your main course.
I tried their:
Tofu Beef Panini Sandwich Tender slices of beef between the sandwich, along with soft velvet tofu that melts in your mouth. There's fish flakes (I think. The kind they put in your takopachi!) in the sandwich, and along with the sauce that gives it its flavour (which may be a little too salty for some).
I found the whole sandwich really messy to eat because it's so huge and has multiple layers. Personally, I didn't quite like the taste of the sandwich. I didn't think the taste went together very well and it was odd having tofu with bread. Nonetheless, it did seem like an attempt at trying to cater to the locals' tastebuds.
Seafood Aglio Olio I liked this pasta because it was spicy! There were visible slices of chilli padi in it. The pasta was topped with prawns and scallop.
Eat it while it's hot. This is when it's at its best. However when the pasta turns cold, the spaghetti would lump together and it becomes very dry to the mouth, you start getting sick of eating it.
It's a rather oily dish though, and hence left a very uncomfortable feeling around my mouth. I didn't like how it was so oily and yet so dry when it turned cold.
Service:
The lay out of this TCC outlet is much better than the one at the Airport. It is definitely not a problem to spot the waiters and vice versa. However I felt that the waiters were not very attentive, hence not that efficient.
On the whole, I feel that TCC is best suited for coffee and desserts only. Their main courses have a weird flavour and is not to the liking of someone like me, who is less adventurous when it comes to food.
Between 2 of us, we had a pasta, a sandwich and a Frappe. The bill came up to slightly more than $40 with GSt. Rather pricey too I would say. If you're looking for a place with good food to dine at, I don't quite recommend this place for the price and quality.
(PS: rating is based on food; their coffee is good!)
This blogstore is one I chanced upon while surfing around one day. The owners also have another called Black Sequin which sells clothing at reasonable prices.
They sell a special product from Japan and I was really curious when I went to see the website. The website had plenty of information like the ingredients of the product, a FAQ and it is very easy to read and navigate around.
Despite all the information, Kiasu Me still emailed them to find out more and their replies were friendly and prompt. They also reply via MSN and their chatbox so it's really good. I also like how they constantly update their customers regarding the status of the orders.
I have yet to receive my items (as the spree has not closed) but I'm already very satisfied with how they have lived up to their motto of *Service comes first*
EsSpecially for the wonderful Taxi Uncle Who drove me home when I was slightly tipsy and pouring out my love for cute doggies.
I really love to have a doggie... But mum says stinky and so... I never had one.. But i do love to visit pet shops.. to just oogle and salivate at these cute little puppies.
Taxi uncle gave me his other business card and a few days later.. I just went by to say Hi... He was not there but it is indeed a special pet shop... I would say something not of the regular services other shops provide..
At NooAgeDog.... You can find organic food for doggies if you like and premium BACK TO NATURE.. Harmony Enhancing Services like DOGGIE SPA... REIKI HEALING.... HYDROTHERAPY .... AROMATHERAPHY.... BUSH FLOWER ESSENCE THERAPY....
It so new age right..... and its definitely good for your precious doggie....

Thats My Mum and My Dad.. and so.. me and me brothers for once decide to invade their secret eating place by challenging them to a game of badminton.. and guess who won?
Them of course.. but we won a meal at the Astons, just that we paid for it.. I was shock at the setting of the place.. This lousy Kopitiam at the far corner of Jurong East Central next to the not so famous Shop n Save has now turned into a palace. The ChiC Sign Boards and fancy table lays plus if you want fanciful desserts, there is a 717 Durian and pastry there... I was more then shock. It was ecstatic, when i saw the price of the food on this huge beautiful, classically designed billboard... They have chicken cooked with all sorts of cordiments like BBQ sauce, Tangy Lemony tasting, mushroom sauce, not to mention the Ribs, Salmon, grilled or bbq, sausages of a various kinds, sandwiches, burgers... and the KING of it all SLAB ON THE STEAK!!!!!
With the mains chosen, you can now choose your side dish. All mains come with 2 side dish... Hot or Cold.. From Coleslaw, corn to baked potatoes or potato salard... They have it all.. Don't forget to try their soup.. which is so creamy, savoury and smooth......
The food is good.. Crispy as it should be and soft and tender inside. The sauce is so savoury, full of flavour and this is how a good slab of BBQ Chicken should be. The sides weres fabulous as well.. Coleslaw fresh and chewy and whipped potato smooth and creamy...
Best of it all.. For a meal for 5 adults and 2 kids. It cost less then $50.. What a STEAL...... Who says fine dining must have aircon and music.. I can watch TV there somemore......
SAVE GAIA..... (See I'm so IN)
Cheap Lunch with Free Flow of RootBeer Float......
I like this place..... The simpleness and the easy going attitude... It gives me the wonderful feeling of freedom.. I don't know why.
The restaurant is nothing much. With its simple deco and menu, I believe the attracting point is not the food or ambience but rather the freedom associated.
Let me explain more about why i feel FREE...DOM..
As you enter.. there's no waiter's screaming into your ears... unlike some other joints... when all the waiters or waiteress will scream WELCOME...... and it always turns me white and I would not have much appetite later... EARS r FREE of stress..
If you order any of their set meals or main course you could op to have free flow drinks and ice-cream which includes root beer, pepsi n other soft drinks, ice lemon tea or coffee from the COFFEE MAKER.... FREE DRINKS and REFILL.... I like....
Then you can also have free flow of ice-cream... I like that too... and make any sinful combination you want. The last time i went there.. I have like 2 root beer floats before my lunch was served... I like THAT....
The menu was a simple fare.. the normal fried stuffs and grilled jap cuisines.... I particularly like their chicken cutlet or watever u call that in Jap... Its nice.. the chicken is huge and it comes with abundant rice and some simple toufu soup which is filling and yummy.... The fried soft shell crab is also nicey... thats if you like crabs and fried stuffs and calamari also nicey.... But what I like best is that after u finish, the waiteress or waiters will not rush you out.. So you can enjoy as much servings of free flow drinks and ice-cream.. as you sit and chat and laze and snake out the afternoon....
Where can you find nice and filling jap fare with unlimited supply of drinks and ice-cream, not to mention the root beer float in SUNTEC CITY.... I say.. definitely must go... especially for SNAKERs.... I mean... Snake Eaters... Oopss.. I think I should Stop Now....

Where can you find nice and filling jap fare with unlimited supply of drinks and ice-cream, not to mention the root beer float in SUNTEC CITY.... I say.. definitely must go... especially for SNAKERs.... I mean... Snake Eaters... Oopss.. I think I should Stop Now....
