After reading all the above great reviews for UNO, I decided to try it out. Not quite sure where Blk 51 is, we ended up driving a big round around Toa Payoh central. But when we saw the bright orange lightbox sign welcoming us at the carpark entrance, we knew great steak is just nearby.
Going back to TPY brought back many wonderful memories to me, I used to stay at TPY. Looking at the blocks around me, I felt as if I was brought back 15 years. The old and retro looking blocks with the elderly ah gong and ah ma sitting near the door looking out to whatever that comes into their sight. Feel so much like I was back to my childhood days.
UNO beef house was not packed yet when we arrived. We ordered the Black Pepper Rib Eye ($9) and Fish and Chips ($5). Both came in less than 10 mins. And both looks equally delicious.
Had a medium-rare steak and it was cooked just right. It's pretty cheap considering that the size of the steak was pretty big. But I had a better one the day before. (IMO)
The one that I thought was fantastic is the Fish & Chips. When eaten hot, its very crispy outside and soft inside. The batter used is different from the usual fish & chips you find at the usual hawkers. It was so good I had to pack one home for Mum to try. But due to jam, the fish was cold when mum had it. Not too nice anymore. But still, I'll sure go back for more of their fish & chips.
Go by 7pm for dinner else you might need to wait a little while longer after that when the crowd starts forming.

You must think that I'm sick or something to enjoy and love a painful experience. But that's how I felt when I went for my first free treatment with compliment from my friend. She has been with them for many years, and I must say her face is very well maintained and never needed a speck of make-up. Simple and clean. And now I know why.
My first step at the entrance of the place and I was totally amazed but how big the place is. It looks posh and stylish. Using black as their main color, it brings out the modernest of the place. Angel Sky is a one-stop place for all woman who loves to be pampered. There's a movie room, a gym, a spa, a relax corner with many music CDs for our entertainment, an oxygen bar, reading corner, full shower facilities and so much more. (There's 2 levels but I haven't explored what's the the basement yet.) You can spend an entire day recharging and relaxing.
There were many rooms in the big place and each room can fit in 4 ladies. Great for a girls day out with girlfriends. I also saw smaller rooms for those who prefer to be in private.
My first trial session was by Kathy. She was very nice and friendly. She tells me where I need to pay attention to and taught me what I can do on my own to improve my super bad skin condition now. She wasn't at any one time trying to hard sell their services to me during the whole facial experience. I tried their Diamond-Lite treatment today. It helped lift my face, cleans off my dirt and oil from the face and removes the finer zits. This is done using this suction machine with a tip casted with small diamonds. She did my right side first to show me the difference before and after the treatment, and I did see a great difference. After the treatment, she started picking on my pimples, which was the painful part. I had tears in my eyes and when she did it to the huge one just next to my left eye, I almost cried out. But hey! No pain no gain ya. Have to take the pain if one wants to be pretty. (Pain or not also depends on the level of tolerance for individual. For me, I have the lowest tolerance of pain. So this part might not be that painful as I've described lah!) After the picking, Kathy trimmed my eyebrow and then put on a cold mask and a second layer of oxygen mask. It refreshed my entire face and it was nice.
I must say this is the better free trial facial I had. So good that I was already considering signing up with them when I was resting with the masks on my face. And guess what, with all the additional free sessions and services thrown in, I signed up as a VIP on the spot! Kinda crazy but I just couldn't resists the 30% discount for first timers and the extras thrown in.
I highly recommend Angel Sky to all of you out there. (Not just for the ladies, but for the guys too!)
If you want to give Angel Sky a try yourself, let me know and I'll get a free trial for you too. (Limited invitations only. While invites last.) So drop me a message soon yio.

This used to my family's favorite place for dinner or supper. For me, I can eat it everyday and will never get tired of it!
Alishan serves delicious Taiwan porridge and the wide variety of dishes just make eating porridge so much more delicious and satisfying. There are 2 types of porridge for selection, the normal plain one and the sweet potato porridge. Both at the same price - just 50cents. And the dishes price ranges from $1.50 to $12 each.
My usual order includes the steamed sotong and the chai poh egg. The steamed sotong is chewy and fresh. Dipped it into the accompanying sweet sauce and eat it together with a spoonful of porridge. Simply divine! (Just the thought of it makes my mouth water! And I'm craving for it now!)
And then there's the Chai Poh Egg. Just look at the size of the egg! It comes like a huge and thick pancake filled with chai poh and spring onion. The outside is slightly crispy and the inside is soft. Every bite of the egg gives you the crunch from the chai poh. Loveeee it!
With so many dishes for you to choose from, one bowl of porridge is never enough! My record was 4 bowls of piping hot sweet potato porridge. Can you beat that? Heee.
I know everyone's getting a little tired reading about donuts, but hey, the fire is still burning (thou not as strong) for all the donut factories in Singapore.
I tried Missy Donut once, but it was left with only one flavor, which I can't remember. So today I bought some home again to try, since there wasn't a queue when I was there. The selection of donuts aren't as many as some others, but I managed to pick 5 that hopefully will manage to trigger my tastebud.
One bite into the glazed donut ($1.10) and immediately I had to gulp down water to ease the sweetness. The layer of sugar onto was too heavy and the sugar content was too high. The dough was quite good but a little to the oily side.
My mum had the nutty choc ($1.20) one and she also said it was too sweet. But lucky for her, the nuts managed to balance the sweetness alittle for her.
Haven't tried to other flavors yet, but judging from the glazed one, which was supposed to be the basic donut, I'm not having a good feeling about the rest.
I wanted to try their desserts ever since I saw their poster out at Plaza Singapura. But I kept forgetting about this place when I'm there. But today, I remembered!
Went shopping with Mum at Plaza Singapura and I needed a break so I brought us to Aji Tei for desserts. The display of plastic dishes and yummy looking photos of their menu lured me in fast and furious.
As we weren't that hungry, we just ordered a dessert sampler, fried tofu and chicken skewer. The dessert came first, it looked different from the photo. There were a little too much starch (muah chee) in the 3 samplers. The green tea ice-cream on cornflakes saved this sampler. It was our first time having cornflakes with ice-cream. And we love the blend of the two.
The felt tofu felt very crispy when it was served. I could hear the crunch of the exterior when I moved it with the chopsticks. But the excitement of this dish faded the moment I tasted it. The tofu was tasteless and the sauce that came with it didn't quite help.
And then the chicken came. Didn't get to taste the original taste as my mum sprinkled chilli powder over it before I can take a photo. The chicken (with chili powder) was pretty alright. Not fantastic but better than the fried tofu.
For a die-hard Japanese resturants fan, I continue my search for better ones to add to my list. This one for sure, is not going to be listed in my favorite list.
