Something different from the usual Swensen's outlet. Earle serves a finer menu and yet have their famous sundaes and fish and chips.
Went to Earle at Vivo almost everytime we were there for dinner. What we enjoyed most is the salad bar that comes with all main course order. Not alot of variety but enough to make you want to have more than just one serving.
If you're there with a friend, try their Cioppino. Yummy sauce and fresh crayfish. Sure to fill 2 hungry tummies. If you're not into sharing, and can't decide whether to take the chicken or the seafood, give Surf & Turf a try. Chicken breast meat, fresh prawn and fresh crayfish grilled to perfection! The thought of it now just make me want to have it now!
So if you're down at Vivo and don't know where to makan, try Earle Swensen's.

I returned today with a few yebbers for lunch. After reading their menu for 30mins (while waiting), I decided to try their lobster. There were 2 options, the grilled or the baked. When I saw my order, I was rather upset and thought I should have taken the baked lobster instead. The lobster looked white and there's no sign of grilling done. Tasted it and ya, definetly not grilled. Or maybe they did for like 5 seconds? It's more boiled than grilled.
This time round, the quality of the food dropped. Wasn't just my own opinion, but the others there with me also mentioned that the food isn't good. Quite disappointed with my visit this time round. Might give this place a miss the next time I'm at Vivo. Hence, I'm re-rating Earle Swnsen's.

Great place to check out on Sundays. This Flea Market has been around for many years. (It was previously at Clarke Quay if I'm not wrong.)
What you'll find there?
Collectors items, Toys, Vintage stuff, Second-hand stuff, Fashion accessories, bags and many many interesting finds.
Do give this place a go if you've got no where to shop on Sunday.
Nearest MRT station: Chinatown or Raffles Place

I was back again recently and took a video of what you will usually find at China Square Central Flea Market.

This is THE place to get all your scrapbooking and paper supplies! They have the largest collection of materials such as pattern papers, tools and embellishments. The largest scrapbooking store in Asia I think.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Always willing to give a helping hand. For mummys out there, they can help look after your kids while you shop too! (Well, this one depends on the crowd lah. If its very busy day, try to understand.)
They have very cool workshops too! Learn to scrapbook and create pretty handmade albums and cards.
If you're around Plaza Singapura, check out their store!

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 ...

Giraffe is situated at Istana Park, right opposite Plaza Singapura. It's a glass building amongst all the greenery. Needless to say it has fantastic ambience with great music playing, perfect for a romantic meal or a chill-out with friends.
The first level is the bar with wine, spirits and some finger food. From what I know, the drinks are fine, but don't get the finger food.
Head to the second floor for the dining area. The servers are all smiley and look welcoming. There are seats inside and outside so you can choose. They have some sofa seats and regular dining ones. :)
They basically serve up international cuisine. We picked quite a bit and enjoyed all. Food was a tad oily for my taste. But they change their menu so couldn't get the exact names of the dishes we had anymore. In the middle of our meal, we decided to change to indoor seats... This was the only glitch in the meal where the servers took very long to respond to us and to help us move in. Other than that, all was fine.
We spent about $40 for the 2 of us so that's pretty regular. :) Good Stuff

This Wanton Noodle is CHEAP CHEAP... $2-$2.50 a plate and the portion is not tiny. Value for money really.
The noodles are cooked just right, slightly chewy. Not for people who likes theirs soft. The char siew is a very wierd red colour but it tastes good. I've yet to eat large fatty bits there. The char siew is always fresh and chewy.
The service is ok, I guess. They're fast. But don't expect any smiles or anything... it's strictly business.
The bad part would be having to find the place itself and not much parking space. :P

Beadyplace is a a blogshop which has been around for more than a year. It's established a good clientele base with many regular customers purchasing from it on a frequent basis.
It boasts a variety of accessories in various styles. In fact there are always some items in each update that are absolutely unique. Even I myself cannot remake them. (Yes I own this blogshop.)
The price range is between $5 - $30, which is dirt-cheap for something unique and handmade. I provides personalised service such as remaking in a different colour or giftwrapping and providing cards.
The only flaw would be that updates are so far apart...

You know how good this place is?
Just to get the pie for my mom on her birthday (yes she requested for the pie and not a cake), I walked round the entire China Square area a few times with a bad tummyache for 1 and a half hours.
The outlet's between two lanes and it's not very easy to see so I think I must have missed it many times, then when I was finally near, I could smell it... Yummy.
A pie could be cut equally into size portions with an egg in each portion and large chunks of chicken in generous helpings of potato. Just one slice would be enough for any meal of the day. It's absolutely yummy.
The staff was also very helpful and full of initiative. Seeing that I was tired from the walk and seemed to be in pain, they escorted me out and flagged a cab for me.
The price is normal for a pie this size. about $18-$20 per pie.
Well lucky for me, they now have an outlet at Parkway. :)

Mix and Match Merchandise is a store in People's Park that sells mainly the components you would need for jewellery making. There are many such shops in People's Park Complex.
But M&M is the only one very well stocked with QUALITY components. They sell a range of those made in China and those made in the US. There's also quite a bit of semi precious stones to choose from, but the variety of stones and beads are not as wide as those shops at Arab Street.
So I would recommend this place, if you're looking for good quality nylon or metal parts.
The staff are very helpful and they are very knowledgeable their products, since they also know how to make accessories themselves. They provide books for you to refer from and you could find the items needed in the pattern you want from their shops.
They have two outlets in People's Park Complex. One's on the first level the other on the second.
