I've always wanted to try The Kitchen Table but never had a chance to until I found out that they have a 1-4-1 buffet dinner promotion for SPG members. So my and 3 other frens trotted all the way in - the promotion is only valid for more than 1pair if you have more than 1 SPG membership.
The place was smaller than I thought - seafood, sushi, cold cuts / salads / appetizers, indian, western / pasta, and chinese noodle / soup. And it being a weekday it was not as empty as I thought it would be.
Seafood - a smallish almost hidden counter but fresh seafood. Usual suspects like oysters, prawns, mussels, clams, lobsters were all good.
Cold cuts / appetizers - The salads didnt leave a very big impression on me as they were quite medicore eg tuna, mushrooms salads. But they had about 3 variety of cold cuts including parma ham which were quite nice.
Indian - made to order naans, chicke tikka, curries and lentils etc which were all good.
Pasta - I headed straight for the made to order pastas instead of the handful of western buffet choices - you can basially take your pick of ingredients eg veg, sausages, and type of pasta, then choose the type of sauce you want. Very nice!
Chinese - Soups and noodles available but I only had the soup - Pork rib and winter melon soup which was superb.
Desserts - Very prettily arranged like a showcase of 3 'cabinets' and had rather good variety but quality wise was just okay. Strangely enough, the tiramisu had almost no sponge fingers nor any cocoa powder on top.
Coffee - the buffet comes with coffee / latte / cap / tea - the cap was quite nice and did not taste like it came out of a Nestle machine.
Honestly, I would not have recommended this place without the SPG promotion as I think $65 per pax is too ex for the variety and quality. But paying $33 with the promo is definitely worth it!
And note that their shuttle only allows in-house guests staying with them - dining guests like us will have to find our own way in. You can tak the shuttle out but the last shuttle leaves the hote for Vivo at 9:55pm which seems a bit early.

Having a cuppa sock coffee in this charming spot of West Coast Plaza makes the afternoon a well spent time. Dressed in woody white with victorian styled lamps and custom timber table and chairs simply brings the country feel back to this modernised mall.
This outlet is extremely special, situated at the edge of the stairway near the main entrance of this mall, its almost like a standalone cottage amidst the high ceilings of level 1 and level 2. Rustic and private with a large airy space above... One can even smell the aromatic Singapore brew of maize based coffee on the second level. Love the sight of smoke rising with every pouring of the hot water into the coffee sock and blanched eggs.
Yes, the food selection is great. I think Toast Box serves one of the best traditional kaya toast in thinly sliced toasted to golden brown bread. The butter feels like cheese, thick, creamy and cold infused with smooth and sweet kaya. Love also the peanut butter thick toast which is a creamy and chunky peanut butter layered upon a lightly toasted thick slice of bread.
The food is yummy and setting is nice and rustic. Great place to hang with friends or by yourself with a faithful book.

This outlet opposite hang tang is a life saver... Always love a bite to carry on the diesel fumes filled seating area of the boat on the way to Batam.
The baked products are always yummy and my indon friends love the cookies I bring along in beautifully sealed jars. My favourite will have to be the chocolate pretzi and the Toblerone Chocolate Pastry. I find their pastries crispy and fresh while the breads are hearty with a good mix of fruits and nuts. Grainy and wholesome is what I would describe their products. They are of the right sweetness and I could never imagine search hard wheaty breads could taste so nice.
Pick what you want from the shiny clear plastic cabinate and for every 5 bakery items you can get 1 for free. If you like cakes, they have a good variety of that and of course pastry as well. However this outlet do not carry some of the pies I like.
Service is just on the counter and its more of a buy and go kinda shop. Service was quick and the shop is spick and span... Nothing bad to say about them just that these bakery products are somewhat a comfort to me on my stinky boat trip...

I chanced upon Platypus while shopping at Bugis Junction. Used to be the location of the V8 Cafe, this outlet is carefully tucked near to the little bridge towards the food court. The layout of the restaurant very much resembles V8 however I love the little deco by the side of the walls, the little flowers and wooden decoratives.
The menu they serve is very interesting, service is efficient and always with a smiling face. Love the ongoing promotional set meals, especially the beer cocktails.. really interesting. So we ordered these:
1) Wild mushroom soup ($3.90) - Tasted extremely creamy and savory. Could taste the bits of different kind of mushroom and its blended so smoothly with bits of air bubbles.. Light and fluffy.
2) Roasted Pumpkin soup ($3.90) - I expected something more sweet as the natural taste of pumpkin however this one tasted a tad too salty for me. Though smooth and creamy, this have got rooms for improvement.
3) Lemon Prawn Parpadelle ($16.50) - A very interesting choice of pasta with a zest of a slice of lemon juiced over. The prawn is crunchy and the parpadelle extremely interesting. Springy to the bite, the pasta tasted like extremely fresh dumpling skin. I fell in love with the parpadelle almost immediately. Coated in a tasty tomato based sauce with sweet prawns.. this dish is mouth watering good. It looks good, smells good, taste good and parpadelle packs a good surprise.
4) Seafood Bouillabaisse ($21.90) - It has a choice of cream or tomato based and I always believe that seafood should be zesty to bring out the natural freshness of the ingredients, as such, we chose a tomato based. Stir fried with diced tomato in a light broth is what we get, served with a couple of sliced of toasted bread. I find the portion generous, though it might not look much, yet its filling.. The chunks of salmon and generous slices of seafood such as squid and muscles gives muscles to this dish. Dip in some freshly toasted bread makes a wholesome meal. Not much of a wow factor as with the name given, yet is pretty pleasant to have.
5)Smith's Ale ($9.90) - Is a nice combination of Lager Beer with apples, lemon and passion fruit. Very light, fruity and refreshing and the passion fruit is simply amazing... Love the sizzling passion fruit bits that pops in my mouth. Extremely interesting drink... this is the highlight of my meal. The portion is generous however I wanted MORE :)
6) Momo Lychee Ale ($9.90) - Another Lager Beer, lychee and mint combined cocktail is a more sweetish and delightful drink. Love the splash of beer when you bite into the Lychee.
I had a very good experience at this outlet, the food delicious, price reasonable, especially with the ongoing promotion. Be sure to get the Smith's Ale....

This cold storage offers lots of conveniences for me. As compared to the other supermarket around this neighborhood which has only one sheng shiong, I would very much prefer to shop here for all the premium stuffs I would love to avail to my family.
1. They have a great selection of cereals with the very healthy muesli and oats with fruit and nuts kinds. Mostly imported, a good and healthy breakfast cereal is more than just wheat or sugar... here in cold storage they provide a good range of healthy wheat and oat kinda cereals as well as wheatbits. Its 'Ang Mo Jiak' I know.. though some may prefer porridge or a sandwich, I like my breakfast quick and filling....
2. You must check out their OILs...... Yes... oil is a must in any cuisine while oilfree cooking or preparation can't seem to slide down my throat, so since we must have oil... why not choose something healthy. The selection neatly stacked on the shelfs are from all over the world and have many different types to choose from. From the super healthy cold pressed extra virgin to the extra uncommon Avocado Oil.. you can find a whole great selection of different oils with its many flavors. For variety and price worthy.. its a 5 stars for that.
3. The alcohol section carries a good range of premium wines from the common sauvignon blanc to the rare gewurztraminer, I can mostly find what I want for common friends and friends with a wickedly crude tongue... The price i must say is pretty reasonable and if you are throwing a party and need some presentable wine glass yet you do not have space to keep so many wine glasses, in the same section, you can also find plastic wine glasses which looked like real but disposable. Though not very environmentally friendly, it is extremely convenient and love the fact they placed it in this section, so easy to find...
4. The frozen section though do not offer much items we asian like, I do appreciate the free ice to keep my frozen stuffs fresh especially ICE CREAM....
Store is neatly packed and stocked with good shelf life items. Love the quick sale concept for about to expire stuffs.. Service is okay... I mean as long as the cashier don't get too chatty.. its fine :)

I went to this outlet of ART Friend on tuesday night. It is located behind the MRT Station actual, I guess its more or less part of the Buona Vista East West Line MRT Main building. A humble looking single rider escalator leads to this obscure entrance of ART FRIEND, however once inside.... I had a SHOCK...
The shop is really really long and big... I think this is one of the largest outlet they have as compared to the Bras Besah outlet. Neatly stacked in rolls and rolls of shelves are art supplies of all kinds with many brands, colors, surfaces, materials and functions to choose from. Stacked orderly with related items nearby... Here you can find all you need for any art projects. If you can't find the item you want here, I guess nobody else carries them. Their pricing are very reasonable and also do look out for special discounted or clearance items.
I actually picked up some jars of poster colours for 70% off the price.. so it came up to about 45 cents per 22ml jars... They have many colours to choose from and the poster material is still in good form and not dried up or clumpy like more clearance items are. Love the fact they carry even party goods like mask, fancy hats, fancy fabric decorations....
Matter of fact, anything you need, even for leisure room deco projects, you can find them all here. Real good place to shop and browse. The corridors are spacious, air con of the right temperature and no over hospitality following you around, You get to browse leisurely and if you need something, the friendly staff will always have time to show you the items with a great big smile.
Start an art project today... no ideas? Go pop by the store and you will have ideas flooding in your mind. :)

Attracted by the flower shop that is not only littered with these multi-coloured pretty living things, the decorational metal vases and wooden counter top trinkets intrigued me. I entered LALU with much anticipation of being blown away by the infusion of Japanese Countryside. A flower shop in a clothing store is simply genius...
What else is genius, a small living area with toys for children and husbands to hang out comfortably! If you like what you see, you can bring them home as well... Wow.. this not only could entertain the loved ones of these female shoppers, it would encourage them to come by to browse even if they feel they have nothing to buy. Love the trinkets and the country living decorations for sale. Some designs are very special and unique to this shop.
The style of the clothing and colour schemes are more japanese country side. Though I find some fluorescent brightly coloured pieces, they are mostly in a softer tone and materials that felt very natural. I think the pieces are priced at a good range for fashion, however living items are slightly on the high side.
Its a very interesting shop and its worth the visit for the family. Great merchandises and a pretty unique theme that is very rare to find in Sunny SG Island.

Luring people into its shop by offering feel nail polishing or trial packs. First a friendly smile "i avoided eye contact", then the approach "I tried to siam by walking quickly away" then comes the innocent question... "Can I ask you something..." I felt obliged to be friendly to the visiting foreigner especially when she is an Ang Mor... And the conversation started and one thing lead to another and I ended up with 2 sets of nail repair kit and hundred over dollars poorer. When I got home.. I was about to smack myself silly...
Though I must say their marketing skills are terrific, it left me a bad aftertaste... Their skin care products are pretty comprehensive and I really like some of their products especially the all natural mineral filled ingredients. The fragrance for the body lotions, sea salt scrubs and other accompanying skin care products are mild and nice. The nail polisher works like a miracle leaving a glossy nail finish and comes with a lifetime replacement of the strips, on top of that with purchase of one nail kit, I get 2 150ml body lotion and another set of nail kit free.
The products are pretty nice but prices are too steep and the way I was being marketed, I kinda felt pressured. On top of that while i returned home, I tried to go online to get my free strips, then I realised, its not so free... coz I have to pay the freight from the website, mailed out from USA. The freight is so expensive for a few pieces of small sized sand paper I felt as though i was buying the FREE LIFETIME REPLACEMENT STRIPs , totally not worth it.
Next time they come to you.. you better try to run away, less you regret like me. I could literally hear my wallet crying :'''0

I popped by this outlet today and liked it immediately. At level 3 of Liang Court, this bookstore is filled with books of all kinds... and loads of Jap Reading Materials, Stationaries, Magazines and everything else Japanese. The store is neatly packed at shelves at a good height for browsing.
The books are priced a little bit high but they do have the most of the popular and IN books ready stock for you to grab them. For those who love Jap Manga (Comic) books or cosplay reading materials, they do have plenty for you to choose from. Japanese Fashion, Business and travel magazines are also available and I am surprised with variety they supply.
Judging by the fact that I am Miss Stationary Queen, my favourite hangout must be at the Stationary Department in which is pretty unique to this outlet. You cannot imagine how many nice stuffs I wanna bring home... Lets talk about the pens, pencils and every writing gear.
Do you know that the Pilot Pens made in Japan is different from the ones we have in the local stationary supply.... They are smoother to write on, easier on the hand and extremely stylish.
Do you know that Japan made notebooks have a mild yellow/ beige hue on their paper, usually thin and light weight and extremely smooth yet the pen ink do not penetrate through.
Do you know the Japan made notepads usually have these tiny proliferation that are not huge, unsightly and flimsy like our local made notepads. Yet they are almost non-existent and when you need to tear off a piece, you can easily do so and leave a nice straight cut behind, not damaging your notepad.
Beautiful cartoons, prints, and comics on textured and fabric lined stationary is an extreme stationary lover's most wanted fantasy and you can find many there at this outlet...
I can go on and on for days on the stationary and how nice and useful they are however I'm leaving space for other stationary freaks like me to venture. Meanwhile, I also discovered this BARGAIN ALLEY... which i thought is a GREAT IDEA! At this alley is where discounted and marked down books are. They are mostly still in great conditions and you could take time to browse and you never know you could find something you like to curl up and read.
I ended up with a large bagful of pens, pencils, notepads and some beautiful and useful notebook personalizing stuffs like a stick-on notebook rope fastener, like those from that really old brown envelope that we used to make a 8 shape on the thread that holds the mouth close. Great buys and fast service.. I enjoyed myself :)

I visited the national museum on a saturday afternoon as it is one of the open house days and am surprised by a flea market at the second level.
After browsing through the various stalls displaying their choice products and creation, I stopped by littlehouseofdreams because this is one stall that caught my eye. I was surprised by how they could make such a confined space of a small square table look so professional, interesting and products so appealing.
Dressed in a red polkadot table lining with white cake stands and wooden shelves. Yes, they are selling cakes, cup cakes and interestingly, jar cakes. Every cake is opened midway to allow customers to view the cross section of the cakes is a perfect idea. I'm surprised.... The insides of the cakes looked as perfect as the outside. Dressed neatly with dainty decorations outside with a soft hue of pink, these cakes appealed very much to the sweet nature of a girl. The flavors looked wonderful and I am most attracted to the carrot cake and chocolate rootbeer bundt because they look different from my previous carrot cake experiences and chocolate rootbeer bundt i've never tasted such a creation before.
The cupcakes looked dainty and lovely too... Very Pretty I must say and the Jar Cakes are what attracted me the most. I've never tasted a Jar Cake, its actually cake in a jar and the wooden shelve where they display these Jars made me curious of the taste. So I chose a funky flavor... Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge... I believe will be an ultimate bewildering experience for me.
After purchasing the cake and strolling around whatever that is left of the flea market, I proceeded outside to seat at the Foyer of the museum. My Curious kitty caught me there.. I must try the newly acquired JAR CAKE...
To my amazement, the inside looked as pretty as the outside. Upon popping the lid off, what greeted me was a swirl of cream with droplets of caramel. After admiring it for a while, I dipped my spoon in.. and yes... its a spoonful of whipped cream with droplets of caramel and chocolate fudge with a rich chocolate cake. The taste was overwhelming... I could taste the saltiness of the caramel, with the rich fudgy texture of the chocolate cake, which i find bouncy and lastly the soft fluffy cream. The balance was good, salty then sweet and a fluff, yet this small jar cake is filling and rich... So its good to share though its small as its very creamy.
I have an extremely good impression of the products, display and the enthusiastic staff that served me. If I have any parties, I think it would be such a luxury to have their cakes as part of the catering... Sure to UP the BLISS index :)
