Went to this restaurant today. Had quite bad experience.
Firstly the "manager" cut in while we were talking among ourselves. Though he is explaining the menu, its real rude to just cut in while we were chatting.
2ndly, my medium well done steak came out medium, and CY's medium steak came out medium rare. (and the auntie waitress was going "too raw AH?" and "cook some more LA?")
3rdly, the waiter delivered the desserts wrongly. When we asked him about it (since we did not ask for it to be served) he insisted that his manager asked him to deliver and proceed to put the desserts on our table. He should have said that he will check and not just listen blindly to his manager.
4th, proceeded to bill us for things not delivered.
Nothing much to commend just that the ambience was quite good and suitable for some family gathering. Can go there if you want value for money portion of food esp the set lunch and dinner.

Great place for chilling out with a group of friends. Comfortably priced alcohol for all. Local uni students get 30% off listed price too! (How I wish I was still a student lah!)
Have been to ICB several occasions for gatherings with friends. Located in the center of Singapore, its easily accessible for people staying anywhere. This place serves over 38 types of bottled beers, and also martinis, spirits and sodas. Happy hours from 11am to 9pm daily and all day long on Sundays!
If you're planning to go there for decent meal, you can forget it. But if you just need something to bite, I'll recommend going for the beef wrap ($6) and big bowl of popcorn ($5). Works all the time for me with these and beer! (Avoid the hotdog bun, go for the beef wrap. Trust me! It's more worth it!)
There's also a pool table to play and every Thursday night, there's also free wii games!
Oh! And if you're sitting along the stretch of seats with pillows and red back rest, please sit with care k! The seats are NOT soft and the entire sit may just pop up at the side if one sits too fast at the edge of it. Don't say i didn't warn you ah!
Yebbers! Anyone wants to go party on a Thursday at ICB?

You girls are completely right.. The bread, especially the chocolate bowl is super duper nice.. As they always say.. besides diamonds, chocolate is the girl's next best friend. Man's Best friend is a dog and his next best friend is still the dog........ heehee! Sorry Guys!
What I love about the Cafe is the Jap feel to it... Everything they use is so JAP and with that i cannot help Warping to tokyo... Grab yourself some nice bread and coffee and hog a sit at the nice alfresco balcony. With the fresh air and beautiful greenary around you with the low houses you can imagine as huts.. One cannot but feel like Alice in the wonderland having tea with Mr Rabbit.... Chit Chatting the Day away with the occasional splash of perspiration from the guys at the tables next door.... Why must it always be guys.... BECAUSE perspiring Guys are supposed to be sexy.. So says the Gym Ads......
So much HooHa about the Chocolate Bowl.. Let me tell you why.. It is huge for the price.... Value for money and what more japanese chocolates are very yummy and to be exact tastfully yummy. It is just of the right sweetness and a good texture.. Not exactly spongy yet tacky... which is yummy to chew at. You do not feel sick after eating alot of it... It reserves its taste well and the glossy outlook of it sure brings alot of attraction. The other breads are fabulous as well... pretty in looks and creamy on the inside.
What more.. the Chef's name is KANEKO HIROE SAN... Bread from a HERO... Surely sends tongue wagging... Even the Tissue paper from the tissue box is JAP ok.......

So much good things has already been said.. I can't help but wanna say somemore.
I like ARTFRIEND because the art supplies are better then market rate. You can find everything under one roof and best of all.. Those u can't find elsewhere you can find them all here. May it be school projects, home projects, or office celebrations, they have everything u need.... I bought many interesting things there before.
1. a wooden man for some photography project for marketing brochures.
2. Some wooden cut stuffs to make a 3D Logo for Display
3. Styrofoam Hand for photography.
And so much so much more........
The prices are much better then elsewhere and for that moment of artistic pleasure.. its PRICELESS....
I believe everybody needs a moment of ARTY FARTY somehow or rather.....

I did not go there for a Tan..... However i did something else WAY DOWN SOUTH........ Its much Cooler then i expected.. heehee! However, this is not the first time i have done it and let me tell you ALL.... ABOUT..... IT....
I was surprised when i received the phamplet at a bugis roadshow. Surprised about the price and after talking to the lady who gladly informed me she run the whole penguin show..... I was pretty curious and perhaps i felt its time to do some HOUSEKEEPING... and so one fine day.. about a week later I've decided to make appointment and to my good luck... I've managed to secure one in the rush hour evening.... and so... here i go...
While walking to cineleisure i was secretly giggling to myself about how a good deal i've got as compared to my last wax... this one is one third the price... and so.. i was really happy... When i reached the place.... i was early and more then READY to GET CLEANED UP.......
Located at level 5 with a good city view next to me.. I can't help not fidgiting with excitement. After acknowledging my appointment, the lady at the bar counter gracefully lead me to small cosy area to fill up some details. I could see a good bunch of magazines on the table which i believed had been sorely utilized by boring boyfriends or whoever waiting.
After submitting my filled form, I was given a small towel and lead to a make-shift shower room. I was told to wash up with water and dry myself and proceed to a small room just next to the tight couch i sat on earlier. I was thinking to myself " NO SILKY ROBE"........ Nevermind.. The shower room was not small... however.. the shower area is badly stained with tanning lotions.. i could see brown patches everywhere and its not exactly as clean by my standards.. But I told myself.. KEEP AN OPEN MIND... WE NEVER KNOW UNTIL IT ENDS... and so after light washing... I wore back my jeans and proceeded to the room...
While in the room, I met my wax specialist... in other words.. the torturer today....... No Comfy towels.... Just one massage bed and one piece of paper that i think i used that to draw when i was teaching pre school kids.. anyway.. i asked her..." DO I Un-Robe NOW" and she said.. Yes.. Bottom only.. and so there i go... as naked as i was born.. on a cold cold piece of paper atop a massage table.. all ready to be tortured.......
There was no numbing cream or watsoever..... she started with the strip wax.. which is OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH! Its QUICK, It took out alot of hair but it sure hurts...... At that point of time.. while looking at the chandelier right above me.... I could not but ask her.... WHAT DO YOU DO to DROWN OFF the SCREAMs... she gracefully replied.. No SCREAMS.. only GIGGLEs..... We turn up the music..... NO SCREAMS.. MY A**...... How could it be...
As it moves downwards. she started to use the hardwax... which is too hot for my delight.... Perhaps too pampered by my last waxing lady.... I feel not so comfortable... But the hardwax is not as AWWWWSome as the strip wax...... At least I only OUCH twice... All she did to reduce my pain was spray something on the area which i thought was numbing stuffs.. but it turned out to be just some rose water.... I was HEARTBROKEN.......
One thing i liked about her is that she took time to tweeze out the stubborn and baby hairs.. and it did look quite clean and pretty afterwards.... After my thrill ride ended.. there was no lollipop... no soothing cream, just a word of advise that there will still be some wax stuck.. which will rub off once i take a shower... I mean who would RUB... OUCH !!!!
After dressing up i proceeded to make payment and she was nice and handed me a professional looking after wax directions. She also informed me of a one year unlimited waxing for less then $30 per month which is a real great deal. However, I need some time to think about it....
Today, I am still tempted to take up the offer.. I mean unlimited waxing... but then again.. there is still much to consider.... For seasonal waxers...... this is a fabulous place to go to.. QUICK, CLEAN and VALUE FOR MONEY.. But for fast timers.... I advise to bring a huge lollipop to suck on... help ease the screams........ First Timers.. THINK AGAIN!
Pictures perhaps I'm too traumatise..... Next time perhaps....

If you are a die-hard Car Fanatic, then you will definitely know McWell Ventures. If you aspire to be a car fanatic, you must know about McWell Ventures.. If you have a friend that is a car fanatic.... then the more you should know about McWell Ventures... If you don't have any friends who are car fanatics and you are not one yourself, then its time to know why are there car fanatics by reading this post on McWell Ventures.
McWell Ventures is a well known space to go to when you need to change your headlights from that boring yellow torchlight to the cool super white XENON floodlights or perhaps improve your car's performance by changing your ECU or a simple tuning. The main thing is that they do the INSIDE and they also cover the OUTSIDE. The best thing is that they do it REAL WELL... Speak to the consultants there and they can recommend you the best add ons for your beloved bao bei Car.....
These add ons can enhance fuel efficiency at the same time provide power when you need it. Your beloved hippopotamus can now be reborn into a racing cheetah.... What more if we cannot afford an expensive car, the next best thing is a personalised car and personalisation not only requires good taste, but also great skill, which i believe the experienced technicians at the workshop can help u with. One nasty burp from your car, they could detect whats wrong with it and recommend the perfect cure for it.
Feeling bored with the fat butt that follows you around when you drive. Sleek it with a nice spoiler, straight through exhust to help breath better and prehaps some progressive springs to lower it. Don't forget the shiny momo rims u drool at car shows, in no time you will experience your dream ride expecially with that car fanatic flooding his car parked right beside yours at the traffic light.
If you just want some basic accessories, they too have some really nice stuffs like extra mirrors for that extra view, nice smelling air refresheners, loud and clear air horns, beng-ie lights, belt covers even Funky Stickers... I just got some really nice bullet holes for my dad's car... for that extra something for him to talk about and they have a good range of decorations stickers which are great to cover up scratches and dents.
If you are a Clean Freak... Yes they do carry a good range of ALL sorts of Protection Kits, Cleaning Stuffs, Antiseptics, Ionisers.. and wipers that last almost a lifetime. Look out also for the stock clearance items. I've got a few good stuffs there at a real bargain.
So if you're there... just remember that the workshop is all you see at ground level and get up on to the shopping mall at the second level and if you really really need the loo. Please don't go to the one at the workshop... though its open for use... You may want to try the one at the food court opposite. Please expect to wait if you want something drastic to be done... but they have some couches for you to laze around and read some magazines while you wait...
Cars are never cheap, so are their parts.. But the morale of the story i think should be VALUE FOR MONEY.. and i believe McWell Venture's Stuffs and Services are not only Value for Money, but also reliable and for all i know, they next time i ride with my speedster, i'm sure i'm in good hands....

The second installation of my mini Sentosa food trial brought me to Thanying Restaurant at Amara Sanctuary Resort. Famed for its authentic Thai food that is also served to the Thai Royal Family, Thanying is also unfortunately known for its steep prices to boot.
Thanying is housed in a classy standalone unit reminiscent of a small chapel with its wooden arches and high ceilings, just across from the main lobby of Amara Sanctuary. Huge wooden frame windows offer a clear view of the surroundings and time slows to a crawl in this beautiful and relaxing space. However conversation can be a little restrained as a blanket of silence covers the whole area, probably due to the lack of customers on a Saturday evening.
Tom Yam Goong - Tom yam soup is one of the hallmarks of Thai cuisine and Thanying's rendition of this ubiquitous dish was nothing short of excellent. The soup was sweet, salty and spicy all at the same time and the spice hits you smack at the back of your throat. The taste of lemongrass permeated through rather strongly and I'm guessing thats due to the use of fresh lemongrass instead of the dried ones.
Kai Jiaw Moo Sub (Fried Egg with Minced Pork) - Its really strange to be ordering fried omelette in a Thai restaurant or in any fine dining place for that matter but I couldn't resist the promise of juicy minced pork covered with a crisp layer of frothy egg sinfully deep fried in high temperature oil. Call it comfort food if you wish. The only downside to this dish was of course the excessive oil, which rendered me nauseous after a while due to the huge portions. And its $16 mind you.
Gai Hor Bai Toey (Pandan Leaf Chicken) - Another quintessential dish in Thai cuisine, the pieces of pandan chicken were quite a size and crispy on the outside while remaining tender and moist on the inside. There was a light hint of pandan taste as well, which gave the chicken a nice faintly sweet edge.
Pineapple Rice - What I found interesting about the pineapple rice was the presence of curry powder, or at least the taste of curry powder. I liked this dish for the fact that it was nicely done without being too dry even after being laden with pork floss but I did think that the chicken cubes that came alongside were overly dry and tough.
Pad Thai - Thanying serves up the drier version of Pad Thai, which I personally prefer. However I did find the fish sauce on this one rather overwhelming or maybe its just me being overly sensitive. I appreciated the relatively generous servings of prawns and chicken cubes though.
With the bill just over $108 for 2 pax, this is one expensive and belly bursting Thai experience. Food quality is consistently decent but not exactly fantastic. Service is excellent though and professional to say the least. If your pockets are as shallow as mine and you want a decent romantic dinner at Sentosa, Thanying might just be a viable option, considering that the other "fine dining" restaurants on the island could set you back by at least twice the amount.

I've been here a few times and my intial visit was not a good impression as they didn't served me the correct order. My gripe during my first visit was that we had to wait for a long time due to the long queue.
My recent visit brought about another gripe, the omelette wasn't that springy or a little watery. It was slightly near to cooked. Not what I preferred.
Even the Salmon Chicken for the High School Musical 3 promotion was slightly overcooked.

Was in the vicinity of Joo Chiat so decided to pop down to this kid on the block after reading rather favourable reviews of it by some food bloggers. It also helped that I was financially strapped and had to eat on a tight budget.
Located right at the junction of Joo Chiat Road and Koon Seng Road, Tai Shek Hei has only been in operations for about 2 months or so and the decor is typical of a Chinese type eatery. According to the writeup in the menu, Tai Shek Hei specialises in bamboo noodles, which are purportedly unique in the sense that the dough used in making the noodles are beaten with a long thick bamboo pole that promises a springy product without the lye (alkaline) taste.
Speciality Tobiko Dumpling - I had a go at the bamboo noodles, topped with their speciality tobiko (flying fish roe) dumplings. The noodles were thing and springy with lots of bite while the dumplings were quite good with the skin not too thick and the prawns crunchy with a little help from the roe. The soup base was supposedly made from boiling sole fish, prawn shells, dried scallops etc but though rather tasty, it didn't exactly wow me.
Cai Xin - A very normal dish and something you can find at any random cze char stall. $6 is still reasonable I guess.
Roast Combination - We opted for the Soy Chicken and Roast Duck combination which was surprisingly quite good. The meat was tender yet moist and had a nice chewy sensation to it. The amount of fats beneath the skin was also minimal, which is good for health conscious folks. I would have liked the skin to be a little crispier though.
To be honest, I think the food was quite decent and it wasn't exactly expensive either, standing at about $28 for 2 pax. Its a pity about the location and the lack of crowds though.

Once and never going to return
This is one of the latest fast food outlet at Compass Point. When it first opened, the crowd was overflowing. The queue is super long and there'll never be any tables available. Everyone is curious when new things arrived. But after the initial fanfare, things just seem to slow down. And now I know the reason why!
Like the rest of the curious customers, I gave Curry San a go. Although the smell of Japanese Curry filling the outlet was overpowering, we thought it should probably be worth while to give it a try.
Ordered Curry Chicken Katsu - $6.80 (which was recommended as their best seller) and Ebiko Cream Fried Shrimp - $7.90. When the food came, both of us lost our appetite. If we had not pay for the food, we'll probably kick a big fuss and walk away.
Curry Chicken Katsu came burned. The fried chicken was tough and tasteless. The rice was overcooked and was too mushy. The curry was no way near tasty too. Very sad! Even the two little girls (around 4-5 yrs old) sitting next to us commented that its not nice!
When I thought mine was bad, the Ebiko Cream Fried Shrimp was worst! Diluted cream sauce with plain looking pasta, few seeds of sesame and sad looking fried shrimp. I could see the total disappointment in his eyes. One word to describe this dish - tasteless.
I wonder if the boss themselves are tasting what they're serving. Too much improvements need to be made. Unless there's a new crowd forming again at Curry San (because of great improvement to the menu), I'll not be stepping into it anymore.
