       Drinks   Mustard chicken salad   Lobster Golden Bites Salad   Toroniku Double Soup Ramen   Butariki Ishinabe
    3 of us ladies popped by for a quick dinner - my1st visit to the place in fact. Thankfully not too crowded it was an early dinner on a Sat. The place was nonetheless buzzing with mostly younger crowd and families; staff team seemed to be quite busy too.

    Lobster Golden Bites Salad ($6.80) - deep fried (i think?) bits of the seafood coated in dressing and perched on top of lettuce pieces amidst some vermicelli. I thought it was quite a refreshing combi with the veg giving a very nice crunch. Taste good too.

    Mustard Chicken Salad ($6.80) - I love the sourish dressing for this! The chicken pieces was grilled and honestly just so so, but I was distracted by the accompanying salad more.

    Butariki Ishinabe ($12.80) - premium japanese niigata rice accompanied by pan fried and barbeque pork, spring onion, seaweed, and topped with a raw egg. Special sauce drizzled down the sides of the stone bowl - very good - and my spft spot for stone pot doesnt help. The pork was surprisingly tender and marinated well. The ingredients blended very well together and it was quite exciting to wait for the rice to sit and enjoy the slightly charred parts thereafter.

    Toroniku Double Soup Ramen ($12.80) - A definite classic brewed to vast perfection. Indulge in this wholesome full bodied soup which is refreshingly tasty; its flavor brought forth by the pork cheek - pork cheek was good and soup was flavourful without the sometimes je lart feeling.

    Yuzu Yoghurt ($5.80) - Refreshingly light and easy to take to.

    Grapefruit soda ($5.80) - A bit overly tangy for me but no doubt refreshing too.

    Prices were reasonable with total adding up to $70 for 3pax. Service could improve though with staff being quite unstable when serving food. The tables also have very tight elbow space - good for eavesdropping on your neighbours.

      Good branch but can be crowded especially the evening classes due to the nearby working crowd. Plenty of stairs to train your legs even without hitting the machines but the TVs seem to have problems sometimes, once even blanking out during my workout. The towel counter is located right next to one of the studios which makes it very hard to get or drop off towels if you clash with the class' start / end time. Staff are okay and no harassment to buy things during my workout. I like. There's option of a quick dinner at the coffeeshop downstairs post workout and it serves very good yong tao foo which makes a very good light meal.

        Nice spot and feels less crowded than the ever popular Orchard branch. But it has only 1 studio so classes tend to be packed. They also have a cafe of sorts which I've never tried but at least it looks bright and cheery. An uncle at the towel counter can be quite grumpy but I've learnt to ignore him already. Can be quite hard to find as its located at Bugis Towers and not Bugis Junction. From Junction you'll need to take a lift at the basement to go to level 1 then change lifts to level 4. If not, just take the BHG entrance that leads down to the MRT escalator and walk ahead - you'll see Bugis Towers soon.

          Newest branch of the gym and the facilities look that way too. Hidden from the street level which is a far cry from the past Orchard Building days, but it is such a chore sometimes to just reach the gym as there's only 2 lifts that serve the gym and I find myself having to go to B2 or B3 just so I can squeeze in to go up. And good luck if you're rushing for classes as Taka is filled with families with big prams so you get even less space - lifts fill up very quickly when it hits level 1. Wide range of classes and plenty of TVs to distract you from the sweating. Some sofas to rest on if you're waiting for frens too.

            The trainers here are the most pushy ones amongst all their outlets. Everytime I come here for a workout, there would be at least 1 trainer who would approach me to ask me to sign up for personal training, TRX classes etc. I always decline politely but it is getting on my nerves how I cant seem to get a decent workout without being disrupted every single time. I just got a call from a lady from the same branch asking me if I want to try out a free pass as well as get a body analysis done. I had to remind her to please update their database as I am already an existing member plus have already completed my body analysis text. It is really really annoying! It is a good gym with plenty of choices of classes and full flexibility of outlets to choose from but this is still something that irks me although I understand that these guys survive on commission.
