Mc Cafe is basically one of the newest coffee joint in singapore. Items that were offered in Mc Cafe were pretty similar as compared to other coffee joint, to name a few, it offers the cheese cakes, brownies, muffins and not forgetting coffee and tea. Price wise, their coffee and cakes are generally much afforable and cheaper.
Taking an example of their muffin which cost around 2.50 singapore dollars. Generally, they offer three different flavours of muffin and out of these three, i took the liking for their banana walnut muffin. Personally, i feel that both banana and walnut are just rather simple ingredients and to turn them into delicious muffin is not easy.
Always when i ask for the banana walnut muffin in other bakaries, the muffin that i get has either too strong of a banana smell or the walnut will have blended too well with the flour. For the Mc Cafe's banana walnut muffin, its neither the case, one can still be able to taste the banana strong smell and bit onto some walnut bits, giving a strong aroma and crunchiness for the muffin.
Have also tried their blended coffee, which cost around 5 singapore dollars for the large size. Being serve in the tall glass, definitely makes one feel different when being serve in the plastic cups. However, the coffee wise may not have a strong enough and lasting aroma. Somehow, i felt the drink was abit too dilute with too many ice being blended into the drink.
Overall, it was really a good experience in Mc cafe. Their staffs were pretty attentive in little details (they even wrote the word 'enjoy' on my plate) and also warmed up the muffin for me. Although, their muffins may not have a nice appearance and neither does it has a 'hugh' size like some, they taste reasonally good enough.
I was there roughly two weeks back, searching for a camera.
As the only sales personnal around was busy serving another customer. I looked around, trying to search for certain models i am interested in.
When the sales personnal was free, I enquired about a certain model (compact camera), he could not locate it, and did not even have the courtesy to even tell me that they do not carry that model. 2ndly, he could not tell me the difference between 2 models i was looking for.
I then enquired about another semi-SLR camera on display and he replied "Do you need it?" Maybe i was abit sensitive but i was not impressed with his attitude and tone. I did my own research and it was one of my options, besides, i do own 1 semi-SLR cam. Even if he was trying to be "helpful", his tone definitely did not convey that.
Whether or not a consumer buys from you, service is definitely one of my considering factor. Sadly, he did not really have the product knowledge, and the service attitude. To think Vivocity is going to be a major attraction for locals and foreigners...
Come to think of it, I should have accepted the female sales personnal's offer to help instead when he was busy..
Was feeling abit of hungry while walking along orchard road, thus decided to drop by takashimaya food square to see if theres any nice stuff to eat. There were quite a few varieties of food available in food square. From kaya toast to tori balls to pancakes, yam cakes and even breads with different fillings.
Out of all these yummy foods, one of the most attractive item will have to be the japanese pancakes - Oban Yaki. I always have the liked japanese stuffs, thus this stall is a must visit for me. Never did i expect, there are also quite abit of people who loved the japanese pancakes.
Based on the queue, it certainly took me some time to get my hands onto the japanese pancakes. But, all the time and waiting is really worth for the exchange of hot pancakes just out of the pan.
There are basically two different patterns of pancakes available in the stall. The first is shaped like a fish and the other is the normal round pancakes. Fillings wise, there are quite a few varieties too, but the most popular ones will have to be the red bean and the creamy cheese version.
I tried the creamy cheese pancakes and i can only say its simply marvellous. With sufficient amount of cheese fillings stuffed in the middle of two parts of pancakes, one can experience cheese in every mouth of the pancakes.
Not only that, the hot pipping pancakes is not too big nor too small to fill one's stomach. Its crispy outer layer and soft inner layer, together with the creamy cheese filling, will not makes one feel to dry nor tired for another piece.
Overall, i can say that these pancake is definitely one of the best that i have tried so far. Service wise, the staffs were pretty friendly and are willing to reply your questions and serve one with a smile. Thumbs up.
The donut craze in Singapore was kick-start by the emergent of the rivalry between Donut factory at raffles city, and Dippin’ Donut (of former Vinco fame) at Vivocity a few years back.
I remember when Donut factory and Dippin’ just started out, people will queue one two hours just to get that dozen of donuts. Now many more others have jumped into the wagon which includes the likes of Missy donut, Donut & Donuts, Munchy Donut, Summer house donut.
And of course, the latest and by far the one with the cafe concept to be found in our local shores, J Co Donut.
J Co Donut chooses Raffles city basement as their entrance to the Singapore market, of course where other than the battleground with Donut Factory. Since the opening of the donut cafe at Raffles city, the sales of Donut Factory has pale in comparison. And Donut factory isn’t really giving up the fight, with the cafe concept at Velocity@Novena, and Suntec city.
A couple of weeks ago, i wanted to try J Co Donut but the seats were all fully taken up, so we ended up at Cedele. This time when we go there was quite a lot of seats available, so i guess the timing must be right.
We were rather confuse because there are two counters inside J Co, one on the left which are where all the folks are queuing up for their donuts, and there’s another one on the right which we thought that its where the drinks counter is. We buy from the normal queue, but after that we saw people getting a menu from the drinks counter and ordering from there.
Furthermore, as we were having the donuts there, we were wondering whether will it be serve on plates or boxes, we saw people having it on plates, but ours are given in box. So i guess these are really some parts where J Co can do better to let us know, or perhaps the problem are just occurring to us and not ours.
Nonetheless, all the donuts look really really nice, and they are the sort that you know eating them will mean lots of calories, but you cant stop yourself from having them. O well, eat and exercise more!
Just for your info, I tried Dunkin Donuts when i were in KL last time, and i think i’ll preferred J Co Donut to Dunkin’s
I were rather surprised because they offer box for 3 donuts, and even when there are boxes for minimum of 2 donuts. If my memory didn’t fail me, it was at least half a dozen donuts for box last time.
Don Mochino ($1.30) Dark Belgian chocolate topping perfected with light cappucino cream filling. Pleasure you shouldn’t feel gulity about.
One thing i really like about J Co donut’s is that they come up with really fanciful descriptions for all their donuts.
Anyway, the Don Mochino looks really nice with the beautiful chocolate toppings, but somehow the cappuccino cream fillings are a tad too light to the tongue.
Choco Cavier Strawberry ($1.30) Sprinkle Premium chocolate with strawberry that will tickle your mouth.
The small chocolate balls on the choco cavier strawberry donut are quite nice, brings back a certain childhood memory.
Hazel Dazzle ($1.30) Be sexy with dazzling hazelnut chocolate and get surprised with coffee cream.
The Hazel Dazzle donut is one of the new additions to the J Co donuts. I always like hazelnut, so this always work for me.
Ice chocolate ($5) The ice chocolate comes in two sizes, $4.50 for the medium, and $5 for regular. We were discussing whether the regular is really a bigger size than the medium, because regular just sounds, regular. Smaller in size you know?
Tira Miss U ($1.30) Dear Tira, it’s been so long i haven’t meet you. Now, i really miss you.
The tiramisu donut is really nice, i come to love tiramisu and this one is definitely the one i’ll try again when i revisit J Co. Because we brought 3 donuts at first, when i go and get one more, this tiramisu, i tell the manager i want one, he stared at me, giving me the nobody-buy-one-donut look!
It was so funny, i guess, nobody really go in and buy one donut. But i guess i’ll do it often, just to get to see that expression on their face. You all should try also yeah! Alright, i’m joking, we shouldn’t do doing such things to the service staff who work so hard selling our favourite donuts.
Total bill for 4 donuts and one ice chocolate is $10.20. J Co Donut is certainly very impressive, their first outlet in Indonesia was open on 26 June 2005, and within three years of operations they have 39 outlets throughout Asia with presence in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
I think despite the sinful and guilty feeling after eating donuts, i think i will be back to try other donuts at J Co. It’ll be quite a good place to chill out with your friends, munching donuts and sipping a cup of coffee, while sitting down at the cozy couch.

I walked past Manhattan Fish Market a lot of times. It’s always long queue. My frenz who tried it before said its very nice. I dun really like Fish & chips, but my Dear Dear loves it.
So by chance, there was no queue at Plaza Singapura’s branch, we went in to have lunch.
Appetizers: Mushroom soup - not too bad. Can still bite the blended mushrooms bits. White Baits with Mayo & Coleslaw - GOOD. Crispy. I love the coleslaw below.
3 kinds of Dippers - Sour Cream, Chilli, and Garlic.
Main Dish: Grilled Norwegian King Salmon Fillet - My Dear Dear skip his fave and ordered this. I m not a fan of Salmon, but my Dear Dear is. I like the fries. It’s fresh as in they fried in clean oil. & I think crispy not soggy fries.
Fettuccine with Fish & Squid - I like fettuccine and LOVE Squid, but not a fan of panfried fish, so I gave the fish to my Dear dear. I like the cream sauce. Thick and flavourful. The ingredients are fresh. :D
Price wise is the standard resturants range. So….. I will love to go there but I need to feel rich then I will go. :p
Our Anniversary, My BF bring me to Braise for Lunch, as he heard that the food was not bad.
I like the place setting, everything looks white. It seems like a grasshouse. It air-con place.
We order 1 Braise Exec Lunch & 1 Braise Exec Lunch Special, 2 glass of Fruit Punch & 1 Ala Clat Cinnamon Apple Tarte.
While waiting for the food to be serve. They gave us complietary bread. The bread taste a bit like pizza. Can taste it has some spices and cheese. Not too hard and it nice.

1 Dessert
Selection of Cheese Platter. It has 5 different flavours of cheese servced with lots of greens, raisins, dry fruits and some biscults. Sorry not too sure what flavours of cheese they served but we both agree that the blue cheese were not nice. I don't really feel cheese platter served as desset.

If they served it with vanila or chocolate chips ice-cream maybe it will be much better.
1 Ala Cart Dessert

Total Bill: $131.85 (Including 10% Service charge & 7% GST)
Went down to Fre(N)sh with my BF on a Saturday for dinner. Have a good experience so we came back for another visit.
Hmm... The price has raise up from $16 nett for set meal to $17.50. We have expected due to lots of stuff price has increased.
We order a 1 Set Meal, 1 Starter, 1 Ala Cart Taritine and a glass of red wine.
1 Set Meal $17.50
1 Glass of Orange Juice
Nothing special about the orange juice but it still nice.

My BF and I though that is the normal piece of pan fried foie gras we had but we were wrong as the foie gras is actually from the block foie gras. It was not that bad but, it better to go with the greens as after having the second slices will feel a bit sick of it. Either you like it or you don't like it. As for me, once is good enough.
The service were not bad. As the waiter were friendly. Cool no service charge and GST.
Looking at this topic and review, the question undoubtedly in your mind is how can you differentiate between branches in a fast food chain?
Well, its basically done through the serving of the chicken, service, speed and the taste of the chicken of course.
Regardless, this branch managed to uphold the regular standards without going above board. Though the crowd is huge, the food is still prepared and served with speed even when the current batch of chicken is exhausted.
Seats are plentiful and you'll find many people clad in swim wear patronizing the food joint.
Service is decent and to the point while extra requests are taken with a smile and request to be patient while they process the request. The special order is then served to the residual table.
Located in Downtown east, i patronized this place some time ago with my gf to have a swim, get a tan and basically get some relaxation into the system from the daily grind.
Ticket charges are at $13.80 for the public and $10.80 for NTUC club members and basically, its a good place to remain half naked for half a day with no weird looks thrown your way.
The attractions include a suspended bicycle, an extremely fast and long slide, a shared 5 person float, a jucuzzi, a meandering pool and a wave simulated pool.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience at the place but its definitely not enough to spend an entire day in just for the rides.
For what its worth though, the place is well maintained and relaxing with the exception of the floor which is strangely made of prickly stone designs when the majority of the people there are supposed to be walking bare feet. Its rather precarious and dangerous.
Singtel or Singapore telecom has been THE service to turn to since its inception in the beginning of Singapore itself. Started out with the use of land lines only, the service has evolved with time, faced competition and ushered in an era of the mobile phone. Thats what we'll be talking about.
Recently, i've been recommissioned to national service due to this program called Reservist and i was stationed at places so close to the sea and on the fringes of Singapore that its basically a test of how good the service of our "red umbrella" really is.
Well, sad to report, it didn't stand up to the test at all.. Service was intermittent and basically non existent where i stood (Still in Singapore). The service simply kept dislodging itself and even switched to roaming for Malaysia's service instead, which was ridiculous.
General consensus is that the quality of sound is also compromised as compared to the like of M1 service. Seems like it isn't as good as i thought.

More or less the whole KFC experience here.

Located in Downtown east, i patronized this place some time ago with my gf to have a swim, get a tan and basically get some relaxation into the system from the daily grind.
Ticket charges are at $13.80 for the public and $10.80 for NTUC club members and basically, its a good place to remain half naked for half a day with no weird looks thrown your way.
The attractions include a suspended bicycle, an extremely fast and long slide, a shared 5 person float, a jucuzzi, a meandering pool and a wave simulated pool.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience at the place but its definitely not enough to spend an entire day in just for the rides.
For what its worth though, the place is well maintained and relaxing with the exception of the floor which is strangely made of prickly stone designs when the majority of the people there are supposed to be walking bare feet. Its rather precarious and dangerous.
Still, not too bad for a visit.

Singtel or Singapore telecom has been THE service to turn to since its inception in the beginning of Singapore itself. Started out with the use of land lines only, the service has evolved with time, faced competition and ushered in an era of the mobile phone. Thats what we'll be talking about.
Recently, i've been recommissioned to national service due to this program called Reservist and i was stationed at places so close to the sea and on the fringes of Singapore that its basically a test of how good the service of our "red umbrella" really is.
Well, sad to report, it didn't stand up to the test at all.. Service was intermittent and basically non existent where i stood (Still in Singapore). The service simply kept dislodging itself and even switched to roaming for Malaysia's service instead, which was ridiculous.
General consensus is that the quality of sound is also compromised as compared to the like of M1 service. Seems like it isn't as good as i thought.
