Sakuraya Fish Mart located at the basement in the "new" section at the far end near Coffee Bean. It's a small shop selling authentic Japanese products and fresh food. There is a small seating area for about 15 people at the back of the shop.
Here you can find the usual sashimi fare and some premium sushi. My companion and I had fresh salmon picked and then the staff sliced it for us. We also ordered California Maki and Handroll, some miso soup and Ocha. The miso soup was not too diluted and tasted just right. The Maki and Handroll was acceptable. The salmon was very fresh and just the way we liked it.
There were also native Japanese dining there, and I always believe that if you find native Japanese at a particular Jap Joint then the place must be fantastic. And it was good. Although not as good as some of the joints you find at Taka but it's also not as expensive. The two of us paid $30 for our food which was reasonable for its quality. Recommended.

Andersen's of Denmark has been in the basement of Parkway for as long as I can remember. It used to just be a counter where you had to buy and have your ice cream on the go. But it recently revamped (along with the rest of Parkway) and now has some sitting area which is both interesting (for people watching) and annoying (when people peep over your shoulder to see your food).
Last week, I visited the place with friends on a quiet weekday afternoon. Parkway was still bustling with activity so there were people sneaking glances at our food. It's alright if you aren't the conscious type but if you are I would suggest to order takeaway.
Anyway we had the couple fondue. There were 3 of us and we couldn't finish it after a meal at Sakae... it was our dessert and one which was nice. The chocolate tasted good. There were 5 small scoops of icecream but there wasn't many flavours to choose from. There was a variety of fruits, wafer, marshmallows, etc.
It was cheap at $17, compared to some places that charge $25-$40 for the same serving.

This outlet is housed in the quiet Roxy Square just opposite Parkway Parade. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the complex though, this salon is very well renovated and looks posh with its spa theme.
It has relaxing music playing in the background and nice dim lights to help you feel less conscious.
Recently they advertised in the newspapers... 30 sessions (10 of 3 different kinds) for just a few hundred dollars so I decided to head down for some trials. The people were very friendly and less pushy (still pushy though but less) than some of the other salons I've been to.
Just an outline of my problems: I have a tummy and thick thighs and generally not toned.
So I signed up for their package and did the Radio Frenquency one straightaway. It was really good! I could actually see the reduced appearance of my cellulite on my thighs immediately and for a few days it maintained that look.
I also tried the Detox Massage by Shirley. She was very patient and put me at ease immediately. She shared many home remedies I could do for my problems. Which was really helpful. They also stayed later than normal as I was the last customer and didn't seem impatient, letting me take my time in the shower etc.
The only reason why they did not receive 5 stars was that I didn't like a couple of their pushier consultants but the therapists were very nice.

Talking about creativity! This group of creative people sure has a great creative idea and I've a feeling this is going to be big! (One day)
Saw them at MAAD today. I've to say, this is a very new and fun gift idea for everyone and anyone! Sure will put a smile on your friend's and loved one's face when you give a head to them. I am already considering getting it for couple of my girlfriends. (shhh...)
Go check out their website for samples of the heads. So cute lah!
Oh! btw... they're cushions aka huggables aka pillow or whatever you want to call it.

Was planning to head to play boardgames at Boat Quay when we chanced upon this Thai Restuarant. Took a glance at the menu and found the price pretty reasonable. So we went in to get our dinner.
I like the murals on their walls. Simple yet tasteful. Simple decor and gives a very easy and relax feel while dining. Clean too. Nothing fancy. I like.
We ordered fried tofu (3 flavours), spicy chiang mai squid and green curry chicken. The food was nice and lightly taste. Its different from the other Thai food i had before which has a very strong taste of their spicies. Food here is nicely cooked with just the right amount of spice. You'll still be able to taste the original taste of the meat/vege with the sauce over it.
Total spent $22 for 2 person. Worth a try.

Pepper Lunch... Interestingly NEW CONCEPT....
I was lured in by the LCD TV outside the shop, showing the procedures of cooking our own lunch.... so i thought it was really interesting and decided to give it a go....
I wonder... when did we actually Quality Control our Customers.. New concept New concept.......
This restaurant is indeed a noisy one.... besides the sizzling noise made by the hot plates, i could say the japanese culture really did get into the singaporeans working there.....
They spoke broken japanese with a bad accent loudly, trying to encourage the other staff but rather it annoyed me a little...
Annoying the customers when they enter the restaurant....
New Concept New Concept...........
So i look through the menu.... and the food really looks appetizing..... So i ordered 2 beef patties on a hot plate....
I was quickly issued my seat and i sat down with my friends appreciating the whole theme and environment. Shortly our food came. The friendly staff asked us if we know how to cook our food... I stunned and looked at my friend sitting next to me... and he replied... " I am a qualified cook now where is the stove......
And we wondered.. why did we pay near to $10 to cook our own food....... When char kway teow is only $2 a plate..... New Concept New Concept......
The food was good.... there are 2 types of sauces to choose from and it was delicious, but by the end of my meal i suddenly realised that there were spots of sauces all over my pink polo tee......
And i pondered...... Dirty Dancing.... DIRTY EATING???
New Concept New Concept.....
When we finished our food, the staff quickly cleared the table and went "Thankyou Please come again....."
I starred at my friend in shock wondering...
The faster you get your customers out of the shop the higher the turnover and so... its part of the jobscope of the staff to.....
NEW CONCEPT NEW CONCEPT......
Lunch $10........
New Polo Tee $50...............
Emerge smelling like delicious beef after a satisfying meal and learning a NEW CONCEPT....................... PRICELESS............

I agree with kormmandos, you really pay for quality at sushi tei.... but i can say that for the kind of quality and variety they offer, the price is pretty reasonable.
Like most high end japanese restaurants, Sushi Tei serves food that is fresh and is processed by experienced chef.
We could judge this by simply biting into the sushi. The sushi rice by conventional sushi restaurant chains which uses machine to shape the rice are hard, tight and sticks to your teeth when u chew into them.
But Sushi Tei's sushi rice is like those hand made by experienced sushi chefs are soft but not soggy, firm with shape but yet not tight, Loose but does not come apart easily and most importantly it does not stick to your teeth when you chew at it.
The variety of dishes in the menu is fabulous. I had their raw lobster once. When the lobster is being served, the legs are still flexing a little. That shows the very experience slicing skill of the sashimi chef. The raw lobster was sweet, juicy and simply melts in your mouth. A real delicacy......
Simple dishes like just wheat noodles with an egg in soya sauce taste fabulous too. Though simple and light, this humble dish bring about an explosive taste. Once you tried it, you will never forget the taste and will continuing want to have it. Thats the KUNG FU of a POWERFUL CHEF...
If you want a more chic looking place to impress your business customers, you could always try the outlet at RAFFLES CITY.... Classy with a good selection of food, desserts and beverages. The warm ambience is good for business meetings and gathering with friends. If you are just interested in the food, i suggest you pop by the Holland Village or the Takashimaya Outlet......
Really MUST TRY!!!!

Calling all book worms out there.. This is an online book store that carries a great selection and variety of books.
Prices are rather reasonable and they deliver right to your doorstep, wrapped in plastic and packaged in a padded envelope... I was personally impressed by the packaging as i encountered many home delivery products such that when i bought it online it was pretty and in fabulous condition but when i delivered to my home, it was KIAM CHAI......
Though i love shopping at book stores, browsing at the books and reading leisurely at its content, I feel pretty pissed when i just couldn't find the books I want. Hours and hours of browsing through the shelves and the book is right smack in front of me... Especially when i am in a rush or i needed the reference urgently, how could i spend precious time scanning through the shelves or run from book shop to book shop.
I chance upon Zakoola while reading a magazine in which, I couldn't remember the name of the magazine and I gave it a go. It was good. Payment was easy and the prices are reasonable, no queues and the book is in fabulous conditions. From then onwards.... no saint can stop my book shopping spree..... I even buy them as presents for my friends. Sometimes, its just difficult to meet up and I would just order a book, get it wrapped nicely and send it to their house.
Books are such excellent gifts for your friends and for yourself.....
Its hard not to recommend such a good site...

If you like japanese food but do not want to be too harsh on your pocket, Sakae Sushi is the place to go.
One of the biggest japanese restaurant chain in singapore, Sakae sushi offers value for money delicate japanese cuisines. Even though the food does not taste like high-end japanese food, but its quite reasonable for the price that is being paid.
I love Japanese food, especially Sashimi and Sushi..... and i frequent Sakae sushi, at least twice a month. For a short snack or a hearty meal after my hunger strike I would go to Sakae Sushi.
The items i love most would be AVOCADO SALMON SUSHI... I like the creamy avocado on raw sweet salmon.... I could eat as much as i want as each coloured plate except the red plates are going at $1.90.
If you haven't tried and you love japanese food, do drop by Sakae Sushi... You could find Sakae almost everywhere and you will never miss the green frog, its logo.

I was quite surprised with the overall interior decoration of this outlet. It absolutely goes well with the overall theme of VIVO city.
The HUGE high glass panels made it feel like afresco dining yet you can still enjoy the nice cool air-conditioning. A very elegant and chic place to have your favourite sundae in.
I could recall my dad used to reward the family with an outing to the swensens restaurant at the Changi Airport for ICE-Cream.. We loved the EARTHQUAKE and the Fries with sauces.
The old menu was great, but the additional items in the new menu at the VIVO outlet is even better. I can have more choices of meal course and desserts. How wonderful.
My personal favourite dessert is Colt Tower... It has chocolate ice cream, fudge and chunky peanuts on top, it is beautiful to look and yummy to have.
The other very nice dessert is the Apple Crumble in a pan..
Sizzling hot Apple crumble with a scoop of rich Vanilla Ice cream on top served in a pipping hot PAN.... Oooh.........
Drizzle some milk and DIG IN.......
Its sweet and buttery.... Soft crumbs soaked in a little caramel and milk simply melts in your mouth.... Hot hot pastry with cold cold ice cream. This is what i call HEAVENLY....
4 thumbs up...............
