Love this outlet at Somerset 313. Its the first outlet of Uniqlo I have ever been and as their corporate outlook, the entire shop is brightly lit and glossy white. It looks clean, well organized and the products are displayed clean and neat.
Its such a pleasure to be shopping in a logically organized shop such as this. Related merchandises are always placed near by and prices visible and easy to understand. Love the quality of their wear and the friendliness of their staff. Its always an upbeat atmosphere in the shop, staff moving efficiently and smiles all over.
My favourite buys is the printed t-shirts. Designs so cool with special themes such as CAMPBELL, ANIMATIONS such as ONE PIECE and Japanese corporate brandings which is unique to their franchise. Also hip with the latest trending fashion must haves like skinny jeans and bright neon coloured tights... Good sizing that fit most of Singaporean Girls, though there is a survey that Asian girls especially in Singapore are growing in average dress size, I;m sure if everybody progresses on, then size M will still look like a size M though its suppose to be a larger size M by yesterday's standards.
Love their promotions and bargains... and they truly bring it down and back on up over the weekend kinda thing. I bought some tights for $19.90 (orginally priced at $35.90) over the weekend and the next weekday the price went back up to the original pricing. Quick yar!
Its a huge shop, you can get all your basics including undergarments for both girls and boys, clothings, accessories and even cool looking jackets. Great place to shop, nice stuffs to have... Will intro to all my friends :)

From useful basics to hot party wear, Asian Blouse brings the hot chick out of you.
Though a small outlet, Asian Blouse carries a good range of outfits for every occasion. Casual wears for weekends, work wears for office woes and sexy fashion for that hot night party! I also found some interesting accessories and neon coloured rubber belts to go with the Oh so Hip neon fashion pieces that is so popular now.
Prices are reasonable and the owner is a flexible and nice lady. There is a good range of sizes to choose from and be sure to pick something frou frou as their chiffon dresses are so cute.
They also do sell a range of skin care and health care products with special native recipes and ingredients, something we find it hard to find in urbanised Singapore.

Walking pass JolliBee @ level 6 of lucky plaza, while i was awing at the never ending queue the fast food chair, I in evidently walk into this asle and there on the left greeting me at the corridor is SULU Connection.
The name sounds rustic and I can understand why...
Sulu is an autonomous island province of the Philippines located in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Its capital is Jolo and occupies the middle group of islands of the Sulu Archipelago between Basilan and Tawi-Tawi.
Though we expect some native or rustic wildlife inspired clothing, what we find here is even more interesting. Accessories that are unique to Sulu's culture as well as bags and carriers that are fashionably SULU made with natural materials such as woven fabrics, wooden handles and embroidery.
They also do carry some basic items for the everyday shopper. Basics that we need everyday and its such a steal to buy them. My best find... springy hair ties 5 for S$1. Its the cheapest i can ever find and the hair ties are made in such good quality, i'm surprised at the prices.
They also have a good rack of daily bargains that are factory direct, like jeans in soft materials going for S$5.. Unbelievably true. So if you are nearby lucky plaza or having your lunch in the building, do drop by and you might just surprise yourself. :)

Lillywhites is such a catchy name, one cannot but have to walk in to browse at their ladies fashion collections.
I was having the ever famous Yong Tau Foo at Level 6 of Lucky Plaza when a cute top caught my attention. I was practically oogling at it for as long as my lunch lasted and hot soups lunches cannot be finished fast without ending up a casualty. Finally lunch ended and we quickly walked towards the shop.
Its not a huge shop but it does have a good variety of fashion must haves and some of these are great match ups for your basics. I discovered these basic single colours jeans tights. Usually the ones we buy are FREE sized, but the one on this rack has got sizes and fitted snuggly on a plus size me. Love the varied bright colours, a product of korea, these trendy tight jeans are a must have.
They also do have a good variety of office wear which totally goes with the tight jeans... I tried on a sleeveless frou frou collared top in light material and it fits nicely, cooling and the make of the top is surprising good.
Service is great, the staff is friendly, easy going and the prices are pretty reasonable. Will shop here again when i'm in lucky plaza.

Franc Franc @ vivocity is situated at the old location of the long gone PageOne Book store. I was bewildered as I walk by this retail outlet for home furnishing and lifestyle items. Guarding the entrance is some HUGE Dining Chairs and SAFARI Animals like the Giraffe, made for Giants... like those in the movie Jack and the Beanstock. I am both intrigued and humored.
Merchandises are neatly stacked and placed in a fun to shop manner. On neat looking clear plastic racks, round elevations in the middle of the shops and sturdy looking shelves by the pillars, neatly arranged by their kinds, designs and usage.
The types of merchandises varies from living furniture, lightings, shelves and book racks to teeny gritty items such as tooth brushes, stationary, candles and mugs. I mean you could really almost find anything you want here for luxurious living, just like BARANG BARANG. The things are usually in cosmopolitan styles with a clean polished looks, sharp shapes and trendy in an elegant manner.
Some things i really loved:
1) Candle holders... They have a good range of candle holders from the thin stick candles all the way to boorish chunky ones. They do sell the candles and the beautifully designed holders. Though asians usually do not have a taste for candles in the house except for religious reasons, I for one love the romantic atmosphere in lighting candles.
2) Classic kitchen wares - I love the set kitchen wares sold separately. I mean we all love to have a matching set of tea cups, dessert plates and tea pots complete with sugar and creamer holder however, we are not such meticulous drinker that need the complete set. At francfranc you get to pick the pieces you feel you need and pay for them separately. i found a set I liked that is trimmed with gold and fine china prints and I paired it with a another design i found that is trimmed in blue with a polished gold surface plate. I mean its 2 designs but its compatible... Really nice.
Franc Franc is a place that provides really interesting merchandises and the environment is very conducive for browsing. There is ample space to walk around and plenty of stuffs to look, feel and oogle at. But if you bring your kids, prepare to leash them as this is not exactly a children friendly shopping area especially for running kids. The cups, saucers and merchandisers are stacked really high for these tiny feets...

If you have never been to Lucky Food Centre for lunch, then you are missing out some real nostalgic food. Amongst the bustling city life, nestled in the midst of Orchard Road where the highest shop rental and the most prestige European brands reside is this little gem that serves one of the best local food at a local price.
Its not a huge place and I find the seats very cramped... however I love the entire ambiance. When I stumbled upon this place after my boxing class one Saturday afternoon, I laterally felt i stepped on SOLID GOLD...
I had a bowl of Stewed meat noodle or we call it LOR MEE for a mere $3, I almost flipped... It was yummy, taste was authentic and reminds me of my childhood days. After this... I cannot but have to come back for more as long as I'm in this part of town.
They do serve plenty of yummy stuffs like minced meat noodle which is also delicious, economic rice which i find super reasonable pricing, roasted cuts of pork, chicken and duck and old school desserts such as green bean soup, etc.
The variety is good but seats are hard to grab especially during lunch hour. And on sundays, you do get to see groups of old men chatting up Filipino babes. Singapore is really a very inclusive society.
Good food, nice ambiance and love the mad rush :)

Walk into the world of aromatic freshly baked pastries... Before you could see and taste these delightful bakes, your nose, savoring the aromatic scent inspires your stomach to growl and your mouth salivates. The bakes at Swissbake is indeed very near to perfection.
In these cute little clear plastic display boxes, one can find many interesting pastries, those that are not usually found in our local pastries. These are some that I tried:
1) Chocolate Roll: The puffy skin is crispy and soft on the inside, chocolate feeling is drier then expected however the sweetness and bitterness of the cocoa is well balanced
2) Chocolate Pretzel: Crispy pretzel that is not too oily and very crunchy. Love the chopped nuts on top
3) Maple & Pecan Plait: This reminds me of pigtails :) The pastry is puffy and crispy however the inside is a little chewy. Love the sweet maple glazing on top and the pecans are generous. Its very tasty this one
4) Raisin Scones: This is to die for. I never tasted scones so buttery and nice like this one. Its just soft on the inside, buttery and crumbly and the taste is just amazing. The cafe also do carry a set with butter, jam and whipped cream on the side accompanied by a cuppa pipping hot coffee... Perfect Tea Break
5) Honey Baked Ham Kraftkorn: Dining in this cafe has got its pluses. Instead of just bakery stuffs you get sandwiches, soups, salad and coffee... This sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. The Kraftkorn is a german styled bread baked with many nutritious ingredients such as flax seed, sesame, etc. The sandwich packs a good nutritional value and is filling. Extremely worth every penny spent.
I love the cafe, their german style bakes especially their sandwiches. The entire environment is casual and great for lunch dates. They also do have a very good takeaway menu and products nicely packed. I even found yogurt and muesli for take away at the cold counter. Though service could be better and more smile could be plastered on the staff's face, i find the food portion to be good and the menu exciting and healthy. Premium ingredients are used so if it cost just a teeny bit more then regular cafes, its money well spent.
Oh yar. they could do well with more sitting space and of course more SMILEs...

Passed by this handmade lollypop joint last sunday... Its very much like Sticky where they do live demonstration on pulling candies, making them into the desired shape, flavor and sizes. Customization is available and of course large lollypops too.
I find the shop to be fun looking with its happy orange hue and the candies kinda taste a little more fruity. They have these cute anime statues aka the lollypop boy and anime graffiti all over the wall of the shop attracted not only me but many other kids as well. Their specialities are lollypops and I love the way they are bringing back the lolly sucking trend.
Service is great and you can browse as you delight. They are also generous with their samples and the prices well, I must say pretty reasonable. The one I like most will be the $1.30 all size lollypops.. The sizing is great, you could finish in a day and I won't deny myself of the HUGE LOLLYPOP, those that every kid's greatest wish is to wanna own one and leave it in the fridge for months...
Great shop great idea and left me wanting more.

Villa Halia, a Malay word for Ginger neatly tucked away in the midst of the Ginger Garden in the Singapore Botanical Garden is an exquisite place to bring your loved ones or for a much awaited quiet dinner. Its not a very big place however it will make a memorable dinner date.
Before dinner, we manage to stroll around the park for some photos and to enjoy the environment. The setting sun cast a beautiful orange hue in the sky and makes the entire place weirdly sensual. This is also the time where the worker bugs go home and meet their families awaiting another day of survival, you could hear them calling and these sounds of nature is like music to my ears.
Halia is a beautiful glass hut set in the midst of the park. The glass facades makes us feel like we are surrounded by the lush nature yet basking in a nice cool temperature of 28 degrees with no bug irritation. They also do have al-fresco dining however we decided it might just be too warm for a luxurious dinner date such as this. The menu was small however it held a good spread of interesting dishes and some signature Halia cuisines.
For drinks, I've decided on their specialty:
Ice Halia Infusion ($10) which is a concoction of sun-dried ginger & wild mountain honey. It tasted sweet and tangy with bits of ginger, refreshing and interesting after taste of sweet spicy ginger.
Starters we had the Baked Hokkaido scallop soufflé on puff pastry with Hollandaise sauce and Madeira reduction ($32). The pastry tasted crispy and scallop juicy placed on a bed of fresh salad leaves. Love the way the food was being presented and I could taste the freshness of the sea and the bitterness of the salad goes well with the sauce.
For mains we had:
1) Cape Grim grass-fed eye of rib fillet, 150 gm
with buttered baby leek, basil and tomato concasse( $58)
I love it medium done so that the outside is crispy and inside juicy and full of flavor. The beef is yummy and fresh and I love the buttered baby leeks, not soggy or too hard, properly cooked with the crunch and easy to chew on. They even put a flower on my mash which I ain't too sure if I can eat the flower too! The dish is amazing and presentation perfect, however the serving size is tiny.
2) Roasted New Zealand rack of lamb marinated in
Javanese spice, with ratatouille, purple potato puree
and lamb jus. ($55)
The rack of lamb is marinated with a good concoction of seasoning and is well prepared. It tasted crunchy and juicy, full of flavor and took away enough of the musky sent of the lamb to make savoring it comfortable. Love the purple potato puree though it tasted much like normal mash it had a hint of sweetness and is great on the looks.
We also had a bottle of Torbreck Old Vine GSM which is a full bodied easy drinking Red wine. Interestingly, GSM stands for a mixture of Grenache - Shiraz - Mourvedre grapes.
Location: 3/5 (Its romantic and beautiful but hard to get to even when we drove)
Ambiance: 4.5/5 (The park is romantic, setting fantastic and love the glass windows however the furniture could be more exotic)
Food: 4/5
Price: 3/5 (Ingredients used are pretty fresh however we love to see more excitement in the menu. There just too many similar restaurants around these days.)
Meal Portion: 3/5 (My tummy says not so satisfactory)
Will I come again: For special occasions or when i feel especially indulgent.
Will I bring my friends: Overseas Visitors perhaps with the exquisite setting and historical value of the location.

At the club suite, 48 levels high with a magnificent view of the Gardens by the bay and the Singapore Coastal waters littered with tiny boats and ships, I must say this is one of the most memorable times in my life.
The club suite is a room with many functional facilities, privileges and comfort. The space was huge, good enough to hold a party of 20 judging by the sheer size of the living area, small balcony that overlooks the great view (Max Pax 5), study area that comes complete with All in One printer for all my work requirements, ample sockets and Nespresso Coffee Machine for morning PERK UPS.
The huge and comfy bedding with fluffy robes are a bliss to have not to mention the beautiful egg shaped tub, glass shower facilities and dual sinks that took pampering to the next level. The platter of fruits sitting on the living table was delightful and the fruits were exotic, I had a few yellow fleshed kiwis, a aromatic mango and pears that tasted too sweet.
The entire stay was excellent and the facilities of the room were ample, it was however to my dismay that the all in one printer is not as useful as it sounds. It keeps malfunctioning and upon a phone call, the repair guy came twice yet the printer is still not working. Other then that, service was excellent.
We are served breakfast, tea breaks and other food and beverages at the club room, which is pretty luxurious and the infinity pool which is suppose to be the highlight of the entire hotel is nothing but crowded. Though the view was excellent and the pool is really infinitely long, nothing beats the fact that you are swimming in the middle of the sky and hard land... Swimming up there really is different.
I guess its worth the stay judging by the quality of the facilities, service, room comfort and all that nitty gritty stuffs that made us happy.
Its an occasional treat or sometimes a work perk however I would consider this as the prime location for my Staycation, not forgetting we could always party away at AVALON just steps downstairs.
