KBox is one of the largest chain of lifestyle karaoke in Singapore. What I like most about KBox Marina Square is the cool entertainment facilities e.g. multiple TV visuals and high-fidelity audio-visual systems with wireless microphones and fully computerized Karaoke on Demand system.
The variety of songs available was also awesome - English, Mandarin and even a good selection of Japanese songs.
We also tried the buffet dinner which came with the Karaoke evening package ($26 ). The variety of food was quite plentiful but quality was just ok. Like the songs, there was a wide variety of food - English (french fries, fried chicken), Chinese (bee hoon, braised chicken) and Japanese (sashimi, sushi)

Having tried Pizza Hut’s Pasta Perfetto – Fish in Tomato Cream Sauce and Prawn Aglio Olio last month, we are convinced that Pizza Hut can cook yummy pastas with very unique flavors. We decided to try out a pasta dish that is more commonly available in the market to ascertain if Pizza Hut’s version is indeed better.
We found a Chicken Bolognese-equivalent being offered in Pizza Hut – the Classic Pasta Perfetto Chicken Pomodoro ($6.50). This dish is essentially Pasta and Chicken cooked in Tasty Tomato Herb Sauce. I have tried many such dishes at different pasta outlets and the tomato base sauce was either too overpowering (masking over the aroma of the pasta and chicken) or too sour and quantity of chicken pieces pathetic.
However, Pizza Hut managed to get the tomato base sauce mix just right and it complements the taste of the chicken and pasta perfectly. The serving is also adequate, with a good quantity of chicken pieces well-mixed in the tomato base sauce.
Besides the Chicken Pomodoro Pasta, we also tried the new Twist ‘N’ Dunk Pizza. This new pizza comes with 18 mini crusts topped with savoury Italian herbs. For the best dining experience, twist these mini crusts off the pizza (see how we did it in the picture below) and dunk them into cheddar cheese and nacho chips for the cheesy crispy taste. One set of cheddar cheese and nacho chips condiments is provided with each order of the pizza. You can choose your preferred toppings (e.g. Hawaiian, Curry Chicken, Veggie Lover).
The seemingly endless ice-cream flavors should be able to keep you occupied for most of your time there. If not, there are many cakes – oreo cheese cake, apple tart, chocolate pecan pie etc. There are also waffles and different types of toppings to match your tastes for ice-cream.
You can also indulge yourself in the chocolate fondue with marshmallows and brownies.
There is also a special feature in this Swensen Ice-Cream Buffet – the Chop Shop. You let the staff know what are your preferred flavors and they will chop and mix all the flavors with your favorite toppings to create your own unique ice-cream flavor! We mixed Milo flavor ice-cream with chocolate chips and honey – Yummy!

Have you ever felt like leaving a “I was here” mark on tables/chairs of eateries/restaurants/cafes you visited in Singapore without being caught and caned for vandalism? Now you can! Simply visit the Graffiti Cafe located in Far East Plaza (one of Singapore teenagers’ favorite shopping haunts) Annex Level 1.
There is an awkward mismatch between what this cafe sold – Pontian Wanton Noodles (traditional looking) and cafe design – graffiti wall murals (modern hip-hop looking). Perhaps more to cater to the young crowd shopping in Far East Plaza.
This cafe sells only Pontian Wanton Noodles ($3.50 per bowl) and different flavored drinks (fruit juice, milo, coke etc.). The wanton noodles was quite good with a good mix of ingredients – fried wanton, normal wanton in soup, char siew and vegetables. When you order, they will ask for your preference of the noodle sauce: A) Tomato sauce without chili; or B) Only chili sauce; or C) Black sauce with chili (Try this one if you are ok with chili)

This hawker centre food stall, Ho’s Kitchen, comes highly recommended by a friend for its yummy sambal fried mee (also known as mee goreng) and its cheap price ($2.50) yet huge servings.
There is actually a reason why this stall serves cheap food with huge portions. Taman Jurong Food Centre is located around industrial estates and this centre is a frequent lunch venues for many blue-collar factory workers in the area. Thus the stall owners decided to provide them with a lunch that is affordable and at the same time filling enough.
Besides sambal fried mee (mee goreng), the stall also serves other dishes e.g. hor fun and rice with meat cooked in different styles.
We tried the sambal fried mee and hor fun as well as the chicken cooked in different styles. Very yummy! The meals are totally worth it for just $2.50 and we are so full after this meal. I think it is hard to find any other places in Singapore that serves such yummy and filling meals for only $2.50.
