Well, this cookie store has been around for ages, and even has its cookies sold in our supermarkets. But nothing beats the freshly-baked handmade ones found in one of its outlets.
It offers various favour like white chocolate, chocolate & Macodoneia nuts, and a few others that I can't recall. The cheapest is its chocolate & Macodoneia nuts at about $4.50 for 100g. Besides cookies, it also sells brownie. The tiny ones go at $2.60 for 100g, but it is certainly mouthwatering & chewy.
All its cookies are great tasting. The only improvement I wish it could make is to improve its packaging. Instead of its usual paperbag, why don't have re-sealable or airtight ones?
Although it is called a dessert bar, Dezat really is a Japanese restaurant. It offers a range of set meals, and daily special set lunches. Prices range from $8.90 for Curry Chicken Cutlet Set meal to $13.90 for a Cod fish set. All sets come with a dessert, with a choice of Chocolate or Mango Mousse. I prefer the latter as the former is too sweet for my taste. Most sets are served with miso soup, rice and steamed egg. Portions are moderate. But for this price, I think it is still more affordable than some other places.
Recommendations: Paper Steam Boat @ $9.90, it consists of prawn, meat, mushrooms, and vegetables cooked in a mini-pot with fire underneath. Rice & Miso Soup included. But big eaters may not find it filling.
Grilled Eel with deep fried chicken @ $11.90. This is nice. The chicken is soft and the eel is fresh.
Deep Fried Prawn with California Sushi @$10.90. I like the sushi.
As an added bonus, there is no service charge and there is a free flow of green tea.
The place is quite small though, so you may have to share tables or be left waiting during peak hours.
This Popular outlet is a very large one, it has 2 entrance at both ends. You can really be spolit for choice here, and find a myriad of cute stationery. Buying paper clips? You can choose from many with colourful patterns and designs.
Besides the large collection of stationary, they sell more decorations compared to other outlets. There is also the CD shop. Not to mention the assessment books and reference collection. I guess Popular will always remain popular with parents and students due to the one-stop convenience it afford them with its wide offering of ten-year series, textbooks and stationary.
The service here is standard, neither too bad nor extraordinary.
With the extension of the new wing, Jurong Point has become the largest heartland mall in Singapore. It houses numerous retailers, but what I found lacking was that it doesn't have a proper departmental store, except for John Little which only occupies a average-sized space on the ground floor.
Although there are many boutiques, most are mid-priced retailers like BYSI, Wanko, Estyle, and the like. You can't find top labels like Guess, Zara here.
However there are many stores that sell unique merchandise and stationery, for example, in the basement you can find many shops offering cute decorations and stationery. Action City is just one of the many.
Located in Orchard Rd, it was a very popular shopping centre in this prime shopping belt, but over the years it is slowly being replaced by newer malls like Ngee Ann City, etc. Whatever the case, it still remains a fairly popular mall, as it houses Robinsons, Marks & Spenser and a variety of small shops.
A few years ago ,it undergone a revamp, the basement now has more eating outlets than before, like the Soup Restaurant, and a Japanese restaurant, etc. However I find the places to be tiny , and some are only open during lunch and dinner time, so I had a little difficulty finding a place to dine when I visited after the lunch hour. Also, if I remember correctly, this new basement is only accessible via 1 lift and escalator. The lift is always packed and you have to wait for ages.
The taxi stand is still as small as ever, and you might get wet during rainy days.
However its good mix of shops still ensure it has a string of loyal shoppers.
