A real interesting hang out place. Kungfu paradise at the newly renovated bugis which used to be called iluma is now frequented by many especially youths and hip-adults. They serve the standard char chan teng kind of food like curry rice, baked pasta, coffee and french toast. They taste like the usual however I really love the kungfu boy mascot...
They also do have some really funky drunks n desserts to choose from. If you visit this outlet I will recommend sitting by the full sized glass window seats. First the cushion is comfy and you will get to see shoppers walking around. The other seats I find are a little too noisy and not good for chit chat with friends. Oh yah... I tried their french toast and they served it to me with a huge full bottle of maple syrup. I really love the generosity however, service is almost nonexistent as I think the place might be too big to notice who needs what....
Great concept and nice place but nothing in the menu is exciting....
The wheelhouse serves the bestest fish and chips i've ever eaten. The Fish is huge and fried with a good batter. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and not oily, served with a generous side salad and lots of pipping hot fries and good size of tartar sauce.
If you happen to be there, also a must try is the thai fried fish.. The serving is sooo huge and good for two. The meaty fish is fried till its sooo crispy that you could laterally eat all its fins and bones. Paired with a tasty sauce and some rice as well as the famous thai mango salad... its simply delicious carp.....
If fried food is not your kind of food, you may also go for the local delicacies like Hor Fun or Fried Noodles, Fried Rice, etc.. The other die die must try is the Lamp Stew.. Succulant lamb braised in a thick savoury stew eaten with some bread and a little bit of potato mash.. The lamp simply melts in your mouth and the stew leaves a sweet aftertaste and does not have the muttony taste at all. I love the vegetables like potato, carrots, turnip cooked in the stew best.. It fully absorbs the yumminess of the stew and is soft and creamy when chewed on.
I also love the butter / garlic naan , chicken curry, beef curry and mutton curry.. Its nice... and a type of comfort food for me. The indian spices are generous and very tasty... However, go with some water instead of sweet juices or wine or pair it with some yoghurt.. That is how i think goes well with a good naan and curry dishes.
After Dinner, have a good glass of wine or beer and start having their wonderful desserts. Choose from a light slice of strawberry short cake or tiramisu or even local desserts such as the chendol and the oh sooo funky bobo cha cha! The Old School Sago with gula melaka and coconut cream is simply DIVINE!!! A really old school dessert and their serving portion is sooo good.. I love the chewy sago and the Carmella taste of the gula melaka topped with creamy coconut milk....
If desserts are too heavy, opt for a good scoop of movenpick ice-cream, smooth, simple and calorie mindful. The Wheelhouse also serve a good variety of buffet, international choices of food, eat till you drop with a salad bar, juices and ice-cream.
Set by the swimming pool, a level below the lobby, the wheelhouse also serves snacks and smoothies for the good afternoon after swim recharge.. I'm most amused by the waiter.. which still wears a BOWTIE... and I find that really cute.. Its more of a homely, easy going setting.. Expect service with a smile and expect local style serving attitude.. It somehow feels extremely singaporean dining in this place. I love the ambiance, the food, the friendliness and the price is reasonable.
Great place to dine out at however you really need to be brought in by a member... Or be a member today!
I was at Changi Terminal 3 public area recently and was surprised by the number of great food selection there. In the past, there was only the food court and a few miserable overpriced restaurants, but now, things are different. They have a good variety of restaurants such as fast food, Chinese cuisines, Japanese Ramen restaurants, Coffee & toast cafes, Butter Studio Cupcake shops, Carl's Junior, Crystal Jade, Dian XiaoEr, and even Durian Empire. The prices and food menu is very much the same as what we eat in town. Not much an increase of change of menu.
Shopping has also increased in varieties. Now they have Cotton On for some last minute clothe purchase, shoes at BATA if you feel your footwear is not so comfy, Giordano for I LOVE SG t-shirts which make great gifts for your overseas friends, Home Fix if you forgot to bring your handy torch or even KidzTime.... They now have almost everything required.. even Telco's set-up shops in Terminal 3... which i feel is all geared up to be used full fledged once the budget terminal phases out in September.
The thing i don't really like about terminal 3 is the confusing carpark area... I just feel that its confusing and sometimes we would like to park nearer to the entrance to the mall/public area to facilitate children or old people. Its hard to find the mall area in the carpark because its not too well lit and signage are few and hard to spot. When you get there, most of the space are already taken up and poor grandma... she really have to take her time to crawl there and the carpark is soooo huge.. by the time she did so..... we could already have finished our meal.
The lifts and decorations are great in the mall. Brightly lit with greenary and sophisticated electronic buttons for lifts and other electrical fixtures. The toilet is clean but i've been to much cleaner airport toilets. I also feel that airport toilets should be like hotel toilets... as airports are our first and last impressions to our invaluable overseas guest. The toilet sign in T3 looks fabulous and the setting of the wash basin, sensor tap with hand wash, hand dryer, tissue for cleaning your hand all at one spot and not forgetting full length mirror for that last check to make sure you don't walk out with a trail of toilet roll stuck to your heels.
I should say.. its not the World's BEST Airport I've been to but it sure is one of the FEW BETTER AIRPORTS... It has everything we need and does not cost much more then the regular city retail prices, transport to the airport is convenient, quick and not too pricey. However service is still not so good though I've met pretty friendly airport staff, yet not so handicap or elderly friendly Eg. like wheelchairs are not easily and readily available...
This is dedicated to our good friend who have yet to taste the mystifying revolutionized bubble tea from Gong Cha...
Many would have observed the large number of students, office workers, tourist and casual diners hanging around this Gong Cha outlet.. They are actually waiting for their number to be called to receive their carefully concocted, mixed, shaken and pearls/jelly/bits of yummy stuffs added in, heat sealed in an air tight plastic container drink.
All you have to do is to choose the kind of drink you would like to order, decide on the level of sweetness you would like (100% / 80% / all the way to 20%) and make payment at the cashier, then you get to stand around and wait for your number to be called.
There are many great flavors and are all exciting to try, however, you might prefer regular flavors, I would say, they make the regular common flavors taste yummy. I particular like the Winter Melon Gong Cha with cream on top with pearls and sprinkling of green tea powder. The cream is a little salty when tasted on its own, however it goes so well with the winter melon tea. Pearls are chewy and does not lump together, a little honey taste and they give a good amount as far as dessert is concerned.
They even have earl gray milk tea or oolong milk tea, but the other one I love is the Lemon Roast Melon Tea... it has bits of Roasted Lemon in the tea, both a little zesty sour yet full of flavor.. One Cup of such Tea is great for curbing both your sweet tooth and thirst...
So dear friend.. its time to revolutionize your taste buds.... Pick up some courage, buy yourself and US a cuppa Trendiness.... Get HIT by the wave of HIP Tea Drinking.....
Bao Today 包今天 is not Justice Bao 包青天。 I was hoping to find a judge or a bao that is almost totally black with a crescent moon, however i fail to find anything like that! But what is really nice is the half baos.... They look like naked baos without their caps on.. or more like botak baos when all you can see top down is the filling of succulent meat, egg and mixed veg sitting on a round bao skin. Here is all the filling you can have without filling yourself silly with the excessive carbohydrate rich bao skin.
Out of the many other dim sum items we ordered, I love the fried carrot cake best, its crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside without the excessive oil on the outside. The Belly Pork Bun is also yummy. The Belly Pork not too fatty and sauce savory and well spiced. BBQ Pork noodle is of a good portion with fried wanton and wanton soup with succulent prawns, however i find the noodles a tad too salty.
Seating is tight... If you are with a big group, this is not the place to go. Service is almost non-existent however, the food is pretty decent so, during meal times it is still packed. I feel like a sardine seating in for a meal and what more by the walking area, though i enjoy watching shoppers salivating at my food, I am also afraid of running toddlers banging onto my table with hot soup and coffee. Seat are not comfortable, so I will only recommend takeaway, however that is not advisable as well as food ain't yummy if its soggy. So.... GO ALONE... or at most bring one friend........
If you desire the creamy texture on a smooth crispy butter cup of an egg tart yet feeling bored with the plain egg tart flavor, then be blown away by the savory and sweet egg tarts from fancy delight.
I was pretty skeptical about trying their egg tarts at first as i always thought egg tarts are like soda drinks... They only taste good in their original flavor and only when it is sweet. The green pandan flavored tart, double chocolate brown coloured tart and the pinkish jam centered tarts look rather unusual to me, however on receiving a half a dozen of these tarts in a box made me change my mind.
I tried the cheese egg tart, which is more savory then sweet and find it rather enjoyable. The creamy filling infused with generous melted cream cheese is simply heavenly. I love the mushroom & cheese as well as the black pepper chicken flavored ones. The butter pastry cups that holds the entire tart together goes very well with the savory fillings and simple melts in my mouth.
The sweet ones are yummy too.... I tried the chocolate chip which tasted just of the right sweetness and fused with the egg tart filling well. The blueberry jam one i had is a tad too sweet for my taste however i still finished it all. Last I ate the original flavored one.. Original tasted creamy, thick and smooth. It is of the right texture, not too watery or thick and hard like most traditional egg tarts. I love it when it looked a tad toasted with sugar on the top.. somehow.. caramelized sugar makes anything looks and taste good.
Meanwhile, there is not much to the shop in this outlet. I walk pass it almost often and location is great for take away as it is on the same level as the link way to the MRT station. Grab some tarts and some frozen yogurt and perhaps some really fine bread down the hallway... Meanwhile, they have so many other flavors..... I think I will need to run more so that I can try them all....
A fabulous dinner place with a great choice of food to choose from and all at a super value for money price.
It was a girls day out and while strolling through the many restaurants at Millenia Walk, we pass by this very small counter next to TCC, we were warmly greeted by the counter staff there. While we were issued charge cards, we walked into a so much larger dining hall with open concept kitchen, flaming pans and the aroma of grilled meat with sweet spices.
There were so many choices of cuisines you could choose from; spanish tapas, kababs, skewered meat, turkish rice dishes, sandwiches in panini, pizza, salad and so much more. The portion is pretty decent and some may feel big.... Wash it down with more then 100 choices of beer from all over the world. While I was there I was thrilled to see their One for One offers. You can have One for One for any kinds of bottled beer (till 8pm), sandwhich is also going one for one, and skewered meat as well.... Usually such offered are only valid on a weekday, however.. which I was there on a saturday evening... I get this special offer as well.
Dessert is also fabulous, though not many choice to choose from, you get the essential yummys.. Like Crepe and Ice-Cream, Brownie, Chocolate churros, ice-creams with waffles and other cakes. I would suggest go for the weekday high-tea... They serve a good array of sweets and savouries in a beautiful dual layered serviing plate.
They have both indoor and outdoor alfresco seats which are well ventilated with fan and great for evening drinks. Last i checked.. no mozzies and dust from the nearby road. Services was overly friendly... The staff was attentive, friendly and provided many good information. Basically, you get more than what you ask.. and before you could ask.. what you need is served....
A great place to hang out with your friends and family.. Big groups are okay here as there is ample seats.. however the crowd does come in during dinner time, so be sure to make reservations. Interesting colourful array of menu, drinks and deco.
Oh.... about the damages.. First there is no service charge and service is super great, then i ordered a one for one sandwich (ham & cheese / Roast Beef served with fries and tossed salad) which i couldn't finish and it cost me a good $13.80. Bottled german beer about one pint per bottle $15 and its one for one. Skewered meat and skewered muchroom one for one $12.80. Spanish seafood in a cute cone looking clay plate with Spanish rice $18.90.
It seems like I will be coming here more often.....
I had lunch at Carl's Junior at Jurong Point today.. though I'm a west side girl and frequent Jurong Point so very often, it was my first ever visit to this Carl's Jr outlet, mainly because there are much too many restaurants, fast food joints, food outlets and high calorie food to choose from.
It was a great experience. Great because I was served by this really really really cute Caucasian staff, tall, handsome and very polite.... and of course deeee.....licious burgers....
I would say that the location of this joint is like an indoor alfresco styled setting. Why... because you get the natural sunlight from the floor to ceiling glass window, you get to seat by these windows, watch the busy road below, trees swaying in the wind, birds flying blindly into the well polished glass yet.... no sweat from the blazing afternoon sun on the Sunny Island Set in the Sea.... Plenty of well cushioned seats and clean tables. While I was there, I could see that the outlet is understaffed, there is only this cute guy at the counter, the branch manager and another kitchen staff in the kitchen and there is this two other guy dressed in well ironed shirts and pants looking more like area manager or management staffs of the franchise. While lunch hours picks up, this 2 management staff actually helped clean the tables, pack the rubbish, go around collecting trays and greeting customers. I was impressed watching all these happen and humbled as well.... Though understaffed.. I still feel that service is good. My order is served quick enough and the way its prepared is as expected.
Theres this promotion going on, called the S$7.90 combo meal which you can find more info at (http://carlsjr.com.sg/live/promo14.php) and I thought its the best value ever. I ordered the Chili Cheese Burger, which is done mexican style the way I liked it. Beef patty is juicy and the beef chili sauce is seasoned just right, the burger is huge and the combo comes with medium fries and a medium drink cup, I should say good for 2 if you are not a particularly BIG APPETITE diner, you could also upsize it to everything large for an additional S$1. The fries/chips is the best of the fast food chains I ever eaten and they are pretty generous in quantity...
I love the Self-Serve unlimited refill drink booth with free flow of ice tea and slices of lemon. The self-serve condiment is great as well, you get chili sauce, ketchup, salsa and pickles, which is really yummy..... The ingredients are of pretty decent quality and if you haven't tried a Carl's Jr Burger... you must try it.... and I'm sure you will be back for more!!! Stop counting the calories.. Just Burn MORE!!!
We dropped by Hyang To Gol one Sunday evening and the place was packed with Koreans and a couple of Singaporeans. Initial service was great but started to go downhill after we placed our orders. Iced water was not refilled, the wait staff had a sour expression on their faces (most of them at least) and alot of them had difficulty understanding what we were saying. It even took a long time for the bill to come. Food wise was decent and reasonably priced. Just that portions can be a little underwhelming so chow down on the plentiful side dishes or simply order more.
If the service can be improved, I'll definitely be happy to go back.
What comes into your mind when you hear about Chalets in Singapore? I recall wet and sandy bathrooms, mosquitoes aplenty, squeaky bed and a beach full of noisy teenagers.... but this place is nothing like i've ever imagined....
I was first greeted by a private parking area exclusively for only two bungalow (G & H) with 8 parking lots and a security barrier... Walking into the house, which is nicely cooled at 25 degrees by a nicely decorated hall by a strong shiny LG air-conditioning. Containing 4 bedrooms at 3 levels with every room equipped with a good strong aircon, nice clean bedsheets, firm beds, LED TV and PS3 for our complete entertainment pleasure and super clean and luxurious bathrooms, complete with hotel grade toiletries and towels... Matter of fact, there is an air con unit at every level of the walkway, which i think its too luxurious.
At the hall, you will find a full fledged karaoke set complete with a selection of 2000 over songs to choose from, cable tv, wifi and a OTO massage chair. Theres also extra chairs, mahjong table, big strong circulation fans in the storeroom for huge parties.... Dining table can seat 8 and theres a kitchen with electric stoves, oven, huge efficient fridge and all you need to cook up a good meal for a big celebration. An efficient gas BBQ pit seats outside with nice huge wooden tables, a swing, lawn picnic table that seats 6 and you also get a private garden with beautiful lush wooden gazebos and good seaview. Tanning chairs and a door to the almost private beach. The beach is small but beautiful.... and i forgot to mention.... table soccer that is all yours to play... No need to put in the coins....... Airplanes fly low to land at the changi airport.. watch people sailing and coast guards driving their boats by... Its an all new experience.
Truly resort style living... I mean.... I would love to have a house like that.... minus the cleaning and maintenance.... Its a fabulous place to rest and relax... for a quiet family getaway and also for parties of up to 80 people.... Its a great place... especially for those who tend to get drunk during parties... You can just throw them at your private garden lawn area! Puke, Sleep, Snore all they want.. you know they are safe yet you won't have to smell their stench. Not many bugs or mozzies and its very clean and children friendly, only set back is that its exclusively for SAF personnel. So its high time we get to know more of these great people!
A real interesting hang out place. Kungfu paradise at the newly renovated bugis which used to be called iluma is now frequented by many especially youths and hip-adults. They serve the standard char chan teng kind of food like curry rice, baked pasta, coffee and french toast. They taste like the usual however I really love the kungfu boy mascot...

I really love the generosity however, service is almost nonexistent as I think the place might be too big to notice who needs what....

Theres this promotion going on, called the S$7.90 combo meal which you can find more info at (http://carlsjr.com.sg/live/promo14.php) and I thought its the best value ever. I ordered the Chili Cheese Burger, which is done mexican style the way I liked it. Beef patty is juicy and the beef chili sauce is seasoned just right, the burger is huge and the combo comes with medium fries and a medium drink cup, I should say good for 2 if you are not a particularly BIG APPETITE diner, you could also upsize it to everything large for an additional S$1. The fries/chips is the best of the fast food chains I ever eaten and they are pretty generous in quantity...
I love the Self-Serve unlimited refill drink booth with free flow of ice tea and slices of lemon. The self-serve condiment is great as well, you get chili sauce, ketchup, salsa and pickles, which is really yummy..... The ingredients are of pretty decent quality and if you haven't tried a Carl's Jr Burger... you must try it.... and I'm sure you will be back for more!!! Stop counting the calories.. Just Burn MORE!!!

We dropped by Hyang To Gol one Sunday evening and the place was packed with Koreans and a couple of Singaporeans. Initial service was great but started to go downhill after we placed our orders. Iced water was not refilled, the wait staff had a sour expression on their faces (most of them at least) and alot of them had difficulty understanding what we were saying. It even took a long time for the bill to come. Food wise was decent and reasonably priced. Just that portions can be a little underwhelming so chow down on the plentiful side dishes or simply order more.
If the service can be improved, I'll definitely be happy to go back.

What comes into your mind when you hear about Chalets in Singapore? I recall wet and sandy bathrooms, mosquitoes aplenty, squeaky bed and a beach full of noisy teenagers.... but this place is nothing like i've ever imagined....
I was first greeted by a private parking area exclusively for only two bungalow (G & H) with 8 parking lots and a security barrier... Walking into the house, which is nicely cooled at 25 degrees by a nicely decorated hall by a strong shiny LG air-conditioning. Containing 4 bedrooms at 3 levels with every room equipped with a good strong aircon, nice clean bedsheets, firm beds, LED TV and PS3 for our complete entertainment pleasure and super clean and luxurious bathrooms, complete with hotel grade toiletries and towels... Matter of fact, there is an air con unit at every level of the walkway, which i think its too luxurious.
At the hall, you will find a full fledged karaoke set complete with a selection of 2000 over songs to choose from, cable tv, wifi and a OTO massage chair. Theres also extra chairs, mahjong table, big strong circulation fans in the storeroom for huge parties.... Dining table can seat 8 and theres a kitchen with electric stoves, oven, huge efficient fridge and all you need to cook up a good meal for a big celebration. An efficient gas BBQ pit seats outside with nice huge wooden tables, a swing, lawn picnic table that seats 6 and you also get a private garden with beautiful lush wooden gazebos and good seaview. Tanning chairs and a door to the almost private beach. The beach is small but beautiful.... and i forgot to mention.... table soccer that is all yours to play... No need to put in the coins....... Airplanes fly low to land at the changi airport.. watch people sailing and coast guards driving their boats by... Its an all new experience.
Truly resort style living... I mean.... I would love to have a house like that.... minus the cleaning and maintenance.... Its a fabulous place to rest and relax... for a quiet family getaway and also for parties of up to 80 people.... Its a great place... especially for those who tend to get drunk during parties... You can just throw them at your private garden lawn area! Puke, Sleep, Snore all they want.. you know they are safe yet you won't have to smell their stench. Not many bugs or mozzies and its very clean and children friendly, only set back is that its exclusively for SAF personnel. So its high time we get to know more of these great people!
