We roamed around City Hall area to find a perfect venue for a special occassion with a nice set of meals but not too expensive. We checked out some restaurants in Swissotel but found them too expensive. Then, we walked down to Chijmes and checked each restaurant. Most are fine but aren't serving meals until 6pm. We were happy to learn that Bobby's can serve meals as early as 2pm. So we reserved a table for ten people.
We all liked the place and the food. I ordered Grilled chicken and tried Chunky Beef Burger, and Bobby's Pizza from my someone else's plates :D
I like the chicken but I felt so full I didn't finish eating it all. It's tasty and not dry.
Then, we spent quite a lot of time at the bar with the billiards table in front ($2/game). We are also pleased with the service we received from the waiters. Spent 400 for ten people.
We planned to go to Long Bar to check out the famous Singapore sling. And we were more thrilled when we found out that we can throw peanut shells on the floor...so it's like the only place in Sg (i am not sure if there are other) where littering is legal...just peanut shells though :)
Before we take our seats, we asked the bartender if the Singapore Sling they are serving today has the same recipe as what they're serving years back. He said YES. So we took our seats and ordered.
Having tried the Singapore Sling where it was originaly created was pretty cool. I can probably drink 4 or 5 glases and will not get drunk. The place is kinda busy and looks really historical, i.e., old. I like the fans in the ceiling.
We went out with a sense of pride as we've tried the original world famous Sling (finally) and tired jaw from munching the freeflowing peanuts.
Esprit Outlets sell old stacks or should I say items from previous season/s at cheap prices. I am glad to find out that we now have an Esprit Outlet near us.
As usual, the place is a little busy. A lot of people are busy choosing and fitting on clothes. I guess this outlet is well organized and a little bigger than the one in Yishun, which I am not sure of if it still exists. There are tons of items to choose from -- for men, women, teens and kids -- all at a very affordable price. And the cashier/sales ladies are very helpful.
I just bought a new white top (Style no: LAC19320) with original price of $39.90 for just $13.90. I wouldn't spend $40 dollars for a top so I'm very pleased with my great find.
Esprit is known for comfortable, trendy, quality clothes and accessories. Although items from Esprit Outlets are actually from previous season/s, most of them are not outdated in terms of fashion.
I will definitely go back and shop again at Esprit Outlet. [The outlet in IMM Jurong East is still my fave...it's bigger and better.]

I knew about the recent re-opening of Sembawang Shopping Centre from a man who handed out a promotional flyer when I was about to exit the Sembawang MRT station.
We live in Sembawang area but we haven't been to this mall before it was closed for renovation. So we have no idea where it is located. My sister and I decided to check out the mall so we headed to the bus stop for the free shuttle in front of Sembawang MRT station opposite the 7-Eleven store.
The free shuttle comes every hour, which is actually a little frustrating as bigger malls have shuttle buses that pick up customers every 10 or 15 minutes. Anyway, we waited patiently for half an hour or so. When the bus came, there are already a lot of people in the bus stop.
After almost an hour of waiting and standing in a packed bus came a shocking discovery. The mall is just near our place. If we knew it is just along the Sembawang Road and in front of Yishun live seafood house, we could have just walked. But it was fun. We just laughed and laughed about it.
I am glad that we have another place to shop. SSC is like a small sister of IMM in Jurong East. Some of the shops are still not open like the Cotton On, Ajisen. Daiso, Esprit outlet, Ocean Pacific, Body Shop, M1, Giant, on the other hand, are already open. Although the mall isn't as big as others, it's quite an interesting one as I must admit I am growing a little bored of Sun Plaza after all these years.
We also ate at the Kopitiam upstairs. It was busy and a little noisy. It took me long time to find seats. Actually, after roaming around the food court, I decided to stand in a corner and wait for a couple to finish eating. Once I saw them stand, I ran towards the table instantly.
After checking the mall, we just walked back home...just 10 minutes away. We will go back again to check out Cotton On and Ajisen.
So if you're planning to check out this mall and you're just staying in the Sembawang area, you may want to walk instead of waiting for the free shuttle. It is just a few minutes away from the MRT station.
[Be careful though as I have just been in an accident on Christmas eve, along Sembawang Road. A taxi driver had been beating the red light and hit me...me, who felt so safe walking once I saw the green man. Hmmm maybe you just take the bus then, maybe it's safer. Anyway, just be safe...in everything. Please. :) ]
Honestly, what made me try this resto is the free flow of ice cream and drinks! But you have to buy the set meals or pay extra $2.50 (or is it $2.95 now?) to enjoy this.
I've been eating to this place with my hubby, my sister or my whole family. And so I've already tried most of the dishes.
I personally like the rice set meals with kim chi: Teriyaki chicken set, the deep fried chicken set, the tom yam soup set.
The other set meals I tried which I won't probably order again are the spicy chicken set, just too spicy for me and the steamed dumplings set.
We normally spend $14-21 for two set meals or $50-60 (all set meals with one extra rice :) ) for a family of 5.
Overall, it's cheap, the food is good, the presentation is nice, and it's fun choosing which flavour of ice cream to scoop or which drink - tea, soda, coffee, to fill my blue cup.
