Recently I've been visiting Kenny Rogers at least once a week.I always eat my all time favourite 1/4 chicken and two sides which are marcaroni cheese and corn.They sure are delicious!I really love their chicken and i always requests for drum cos it's way juicier than breast meat or wings.
I enjoy their chicken because they roast it in such a healthy way that i do not feel guilty eating it though i was never a health conscious.
The ambience there is great too.Very peaceful i like to take the corner seats or those with the cushion pillow,where i can rest my back after a long hard day of work.
One thing about kenny rogers is the food you order are self service so you just have to line up and wait to be serve.Afterwhich you can start devouring on your meal.So it's like the fast food concept and it's way healthier and at times faster as well.
If you haven't been to kenny rogers and you love eating chicken i strongly recommend this place to you.Have a chicky good time!
I've been to the night safari only once when i was like in Primary 6.It's like ages ago.I found it quite exciting and scary at the same time.Cos at night it's not like you're visiting the zoo in the daytime where there's light.
You are practically cruising around the zoo in the tram and all you do is sit.Actually with all the darkness and stuffs i'm not even sure whether those animals actually have come into close contact with us.I enjoy it.
I've been there like ages ago so i'm not very sure if there's any changes but i sure do want to go there in the near future when i at least have my own means of transport.
I suggest those people with night blindness to go cos for me the whole night was sort of in pitch darkness.It was enjoyable though.A good tourist attraction and experience for all walks of life.
Went to Cathay AMK to watch Balls of Fury last weekend.
Well have to say that the standard of the cinema is as good as the rest of the cathay cinemas.
I like the large reception area where to buy tickets and popcorns. One thing bad though, there are no seats to sit on while waiting for the show to start unlike other Cathays.
There are 8 cinema halls there so quite a number of shows showing there. Good.
Service wise, GREAT! The people there are very friendly. From the one selling the tickets to the usher. Even when I was walking into the cinema hall, the guy manning the tibits section manged to say "Welcome! Enjoy your show" to everyone walking past him.
The cinema seating is good and comfortable. The solpe is quite high so the guy in front of you can hardly block your view. They do not maximise the seast to the fron so even if you get 1st row seast, you will not get a neckache after the show.
The sound system is up to par as it is new and uses the best sound system.
So overall it is a good place to watch show in the north now other than Junction 8 and Causeway Point.
Usually go there to stay for friend's birthday or other celebrations.I find the chalet too small cos thr's only like one room,toilet.So if there's too many people going in it can be really really cramp.If you have a big celebration i suggest you book a chalet at Aloha or NSRCC etc..However,one of the advantage staying there is there are many eating places,attractions like wild wild wet and the theme park in the vicinity.You'll never starve there and it's easy if you don't have your own transport to get around.So if u're looking for an exciting place to stay and don't mind the crampness you might like Costa Sands(pasir ris).
I've been there to try the donuts.But to my dissappointment it wasn't fantastic neither was it nice.The choc and nuts was a let down.Nothing spectacular about it in comparison to Donut factory.Now when i go to PS i will not buy from there anymore.I have yet to try the donut at the shops below Meridien hotel along the way to the Istana.I think it's only a matter of time that this donut craze dies off.At the meantime i will still look and taste for the nicest donut.
I'm a big fan of Bak Cho Mee.Especially the one at bedok.If u've been there before you would have notice that there's actually two stores side by side.I've tried both and they are actually the same.Just that one store serves with a bigger bowl and the other a smaller one.But they taste the same.I usually eat the Bak Cho Mee with chicken wings and sugar cane.It sure is yummy and fattening.
I used to go there during weekends to eat my favourite fishball noodle and rojak.The queue are always very long so at times my siblings and I will take turns to queue up.The nice thing about the fishball is they are handmade and very soft and fresh.So it's really nice.The rojak's standard is not very certain sometimes it's nice sometimes it's not.Don't eat the fried fish there.Cos it sucks big time.I guess whenever i drop by there I will just stick to eating my all time favourite Fishball and Rojak.
I just visited the place today! It's not too shabby, but I think there's only, effectively, one level of shopping. Or to be more specific, less than 8 shopping outlets? They have salons, manicure shops and food outlets! Small place though, more of service apartment. But if you look at their directory, you'll see that they have quite a number of restaurants beyond the first level.
It's probably a really busy place during lunch hours because it's in the business district, near Tanjong Pagar MRT. But other than that, it's a really quiet place and almost all the shops are not open on weekends.
Good place for a quick walk and stuff. But it's gonna get boring after awhile.. Too little to see.
One of the few clothes shop at Icon Village, they sell ladies' stuff, mainly bags and clothes. Of course they have little items like earrings and costume jewelry, belts and shawls. This is a good place to go for office ladies working around Tanjong Pagar. Even if you don't work near there, I think it's rather convenient to get there too as it's near the MRT station. But they're only open on weekdays if I'm not wrong, to attract the office ladies.
Knowing the opening of a new shopping centre, I made my way down to take a look at the place in general. I walked into this shop and was warmly welcomed by the sales lady. A very friendly lady who isn't a pushy sales person (I say this in most of my reviews because I really think it's very important! It's a major turn off when sales people are too pushy/ impatient).
This shop is not too bad as their clothes are pretty nice and caters to females age 16-40, I'd say. Also, the most expensive thing I saw there was about $33.90, so on the whole I would dare to make the assumption that their things are pretty affordable!
Their stuff are mainly imports from Korea and Hong Kong. It's pretty common now I guess, but I'd say it's a good place to go since they have quite a good range of items. Personally I'm not a fan of the current fashion, however I would nonetheless go there to look at the bags and earrings because of the pure fact that it's cheap! (I got a handbag at 10 today!)
Worth a visit if you work nearby (:
(They're currently having a storewide 20% discount at Icon Village! Worth going!)
Hillman restaurant, or 喜临门大饭店 in Chinese, has been around since the 1960s and they are unabashed in displaying their rich heritage with blown up photographs of the good old days. Formerly located at Cantonment Road, they have since shifted (a few years back) to Jalan Besar and opened up a sister restaurant by the name of Manhill Restaurant (how innovative) at Pasir Panjang.
Inconveniently located along Jalan Besar Road just a few doors down from Pu Tien, getting there can pose quite a challenge for people unfamiliar with the area. If you are driving, it will be even more of a headache as parking lots are far and few. Strangely enough, this place seems to be very popular with Japanese folks for some reason beyond me.
A must have dish whenever I visit Hillman, the Chicken in Paper Bag aka Zi Bao Ji was very well executed with the chicken well seasoned, measuring in the right amounts of salt and sugar. The meat burst with flavoursome juices with every bite through the tender chicken meat. I'm not one to exaggerate, but this is probably one of the best Zi Bao Ji there is in the market now. Only downside to it was the difficulty in trying to seperate the chicken from the paper and of course the copious amount of oil involved.
Hillman has long been renowned for its claypot dishes or better known as Sar Poh. We ordered the Bright Stars Pot aka Yi Ping Wor which had a grand total of 8 different types of food in it. Namely mushrooms, chicken, pork, prawns, squid, carrot, vegetables and fried fish slices. Now thats a lot of variety in one dish and this is definitely one of the better claypot dishes I've ever had in Singapore with the food soaking in the essence of the wonderful gravy.
Sliced Fish with Kai Lan - The Kai Lan looked a little tired when it first arrived, probably due to overcooking. However, it surprised us with its crunchiness and light smoky taste. The accompanying fish slices were very decent, chewy and not too soft.
A great dinner for 3 pax set us back by about $46, which isn't too expensive really considering the quality of food. A pity it was rather quiet for a Sunday night probably due to its location and the spotlight its more prolific neighbour, Pu Tien, is enjoying. Just a warning, do not expect good service from this place though (Its still decent though).
