Montip is located at Century Square Level 1, near the information counter. It's a store selling a whole array of things from hair accessories to pencil cases to costume jewellery to bags.
Each design usually comes in an array of colours and there's always a huge variety of designs for each item they have. It's a girlie's haven really.
It's perpetually crowded and that's what keeps me away at times.
One caution though, the quality is not fantastic and it's equivalent to a similiar item at an "auntie" shop going for half-price. The thing is you pay for variety cos you might not get the colour you want at the cheaper shop. So test and check the items you want to buy carefully.
Also the shop assistants are not very helpful and sometimes seem very unwilling to help you cut the cable tie. But I guess it's a good thing they don't really come out of the counter anyway cos it's really cramp in the shop.

Design your style with Beadspin. Beyond your Inspiration...
Well that's their motto. For the less-informed, Beadspin's mother store is Koi Ming along South Bridge road. Koi Ming is one of the pioneer Bead shops which wholesale lots of stuff...
Beadspin, being its smaller and more convenient store in the suburbs, has lesser variety and sells their things in smaller packs. However, if you need stuff in larger quantities you can always ask. They stock them at the back. But the difference in price is not very great, unlike at the wholesale shops.
They have more of Swarovski Crystals and findings but less of semi precious stones. They have the commercially made findings which make jewellery making easier but when it comes to real raw material they have less of those. Their shop is more catered for the casual beader who wishes to start off with simple projects first.
They also have magazines which you can purchase but not photocopy from. (sadly)
They have stamp-card which you can collect a stamp for every $10 you spend. You have to ask for the stamp because some of the girls will "conveniently" forget.
All in all, it's very convenient but not enough variety and value for me.

The one that I frequent is the outlet at Century Square *Tampines*. All as all franchise chains go, the food do taste different at each outlet....
I only buy the XXXL Chicken Cutlet. I like the overall taste really. But it can be very oily. The last bits are inedible usually as it's soaked in oil at the bottom of the bag.
I'm a small eater so one serving is sufficient as a meal but it's not cheap at $3 so not really what you would call value for money.
Good as an occasional snack but not if your throat's already suffering.

ShopLah is an online shopping webby for the ladies.
It boasts fashionable apparel in different styles to suit the masses.
Personally in terms of variety, it only exists in the "Tops" and the "Dresses" section. There is a grand total of 4 pants. About the same for skirts section too. Wouldn't count very much in terms of variety.
However for tops and dresses, I cannot deny that that is a wide range. There are girlie types and the elegant ones too. There are also modern chic plain ones but not many.
Prices are pretty low and are already inclusive of handling costs so that's good.
The downside would be that I recently emailed an enquiry to the team concerning an order which I was going to submit. The reply from them was quite curt and not as serviceable as I expected. No explanation was given nor apologies for not being able to meet my request. Although it's not their fault that my request cannot be met but I think it's basic courtesy on a seller's part to apologise for any inconvenience he may cause a buyer or a potential customer...
But all in all, not too bad a website I might say. I would prefer to see more bottoms though.

Mybeadpoint is a online store selling DIY jewellery making supplies.
Tabitha the owner of this shop used to sell her stuff on Yahoo Auctions but moved to this website some time back.
She has quite an array of stuff but not comparable to the shops in Chinatown of cause. But what she can provide is personalised service. She would email you with information that you need like whether her product is suitable for a certain project etc. And she has Beads Sales at her home. Just register at her website and she will email you updates of some sales where you can go to her condo in Simei to view and buy the items at discounts. She even has books for you to view and you have copies of the pages you like.
The best service she provides would be that if you have a design which you don't know how to do, just let her have it and she'll figure it out then teach you! That's one service you will not get at the stores outside.
The only drawback is that she sells in smaller quantities and so it might be a little pricier than if you buy wholesale. Also the website is a little laggy at times.

Din Tai Fung at Tampines Mall had the initial long queues... They still have them but Saturday dinnertimes only.
I've been here twice but I seriously don't know why I went the second time after the first experience.
After hearing so much about this place from my colleagues, my friends and I head down to the place. It was a weekday afternoon so it was quite empty. We had some fried rice, the widely acclaimed crystal buns and the crystal buns with crabmeat.
The fried rice was a little oily but tasted normal. The crystal buns are alright too, but a tad too flimsy so we couldn't drink that much soup cos it spilled. The highlight was the crabmeat ones. There were 10 and I ate 2.... both had crab shells. Well if you want to think positively, they are pretty fresh in that sense... but seriously when you only eat 2 out of 10 and both have your teeth crunching down on the shells? BLAH. And the waitress didn't do anything when we told her about it.
The second time I went it was with my family. We ordered some crystal buns and some noodles and rice. All went fine. One crystal bun was already broken when it arrived but they changed it immediately. So that was ok.
They don't have much variety. And the crystal buns are the only exceptional items. If the crab shell incident didn't happen I'll probably give it 4 stars.
Parking can be a headache at Tampines Mall though.

Honestly, I'm a mini fan of Kenny Rogers and I have no idea why.
Suntec is a really central area to go. Very accessible by MRT and bus and with plenty of shopping space I would say this is a good restaurant to seek.
The ambience is cosy. The seats are a little run-down upon inspection but the overall look's alright.
It's a self service thing but the servers are always on hand to help you with your trays. It can be really heavy at times.
It's mostly chicken but they also have some fish fillet. They have chicken fillet for those who can't be bothered to operate on those bones. There's also the Chicken Soup in a bread bowl thingy which is very filling and delicious!
I rarely order the chicken as I eat very little. But I love the sides. I prefer the rice, the vegetables and the mashed potatoes. Sometimes I can caught up with the cheese macaroni.
2 plates are generally enough for 3 people. So it's possible for 3 to eat below $20 which is very reasonable. Drinks come in a big cup but are non-refillable. I don't think you would want to get them refilled anyway.
Great place. :)

I'm sure many men and women have heard of Victoria's Secret before.
It's a US store which sells mainly lingerie. It's not available in any store in SG. For your info, if any shop sells it in SG, it's illegal and the shop may face legal action as VS does not allow any shop to sell its stuff in Asia.
That aside, its online store has a wide variety of lingerie and sleepwear. Not to mention it has many sexy tops and dresses for you to choose from. They also have a comprehensive size chart which you can have a good gauge of your size from. The cutting of the clothing is not very big so it's fine.
The staff are very helpful when you ask for assistance, whether through email or phone.
When it's sale time, the prices of the items can be so low that it's worth it even with the hefty shipping costs.
The whole thing would be a good experience if not for one incident. I had clicked on a top which should have costed $20, but in the shopping cart it sneakily appeared at $25. And no matter how I clicked it didn't change. For those not too careful they would have then paid an extra $5 for that item.

This is located at the Tampines Store along Tampines Ave 10. You can take a free shuttle there from Tampines/Bedok MRT station. Parking is free and plentiful. You can even park at Giant which is opposite Ikea.
It's very crowded during weekends and weekday mealtimes. There are quite a number of people even during weekday off-peak hours. So be prepared!
Some of the most popular food here is the Swedish Meatballs and the chicken wings as mentioned by the other reviewers. However the Meatballs are made of beef which I don't eat. The only one time I did have it... It was quite dry. I guess it was because it was near the bottom of the tray and had been there quite long already. But the cranberry sauce that came with it was tasty. I personally feel that the chicken wings are also a tad dry but much healthier than the ones you find at Hawker Centres. It's less oily but dry because of the same reason.
I usually take the Salmon and chips. I like the fries as they are the fat kind. The salmon is alright, just that the sauce can be a tad thick occasionally. The kids' burger meal is quite tasteless. The burger is just two dry buns sandwiching the meat. Without any sauce it's quite hard to swallow.
However i like the system there. The self service system so that you can "tailor" things the way you like them. I also clear my own cutlery although that is not too successful with Singaporeans.
It's usually $15 for a meal for two adults plus drinks. Of cos if you are an Ikea Member you get the free drinks thingy which is great.
Relatively good place to rest and relax before heading the the rest of Ikea. :)

Cafe Cartel has been in Siglap for a long time... 6-7 years maybe. It's a permanent fixture now. They've recently adopted a 10% service charge (across all outlets) and started to serve the customer, instead of having the customer go pay at the counter. (I prefer the old system actually)
These are my usual orders: Pork Ribs, Chicken Lasagna, Aloha Soda.
I love the Aloha Soda. But well it's the only drink which has remained constant. Due to the change of servers all the time, the blended drinks tend to taste different every time my friend orders them.
The food portions have gotten a little smaller. But still sufficient for one person. The fries that come with the Pork Ribs... have been reduced to about less than 20 bits. But it's the kind I like the fat sort.
The cakes are pretty good. They go half price after 9 every night so that's a good thing if you love cakes.
All in all, I still frequent the place, but it's not really worth the price. 2 people for about $30 ...
