If you like to eat curry, or curry rice or mixed vegetables with rice, then you must go for the Tian Tian Hainanese Curry Rice. As we know, hainanese are also famous for their pork chops, so when you are there.. Be sure to also order the pork chop.
Located in a Coffee Shop just in front of the carpark and connected via a covered walkway to the Hawker Centre, Tian Tian is almost always crowded. They are famous for their curry rice and I must say, they live up to their fame. The curry drizzled on the rice is smooth, flavourful and very terrorizing. Terrorizing because it made one plate of rice insufficient.
I was there on a weekday late morning and as recommended by my foodie colleague, we went ahead to order the famous pork chop, some toufoo, stirred fried vegetables and fried fish. They have a good variety of dishes to choose from and they all looked yummy but most tantalizing would be the concoction of curry sauce. I noticed the lady mixed up to 3 types of curry sauce to be drizzled on our plates of rice and the smell of the curry is intoxicating and I was salivating while i carry the food over to our table. My first taste of the curry was surprising as I expected it to be spicy but it was not at all. The taste was mellow and pretty much in between the japanese curry and nonya curry. The thinly sliced crispy pork chops were juicy and tasty...
Overall the food was great, though I think the cleaners could have done a better job in keeping the seating area much cleaner, it was a pleasant lunch. Food is great, Price is reasonable though slightly on the higher side, service is prompt and with a smile.... Great Singapore Foodie Hangout :)
Oh yar... If you dabao, they do give a generous portion but do ask for more curry sauce.

I've faced some laptop problems lately, I mean my 4 year old laptop has had better days and i tribute the troubles it had for the last one year as somekind of technological rheumatism, however it has deteriorated into some sort of an immobile conditions whereby it hangs so frequently and handicapped me a great deal. Upon hearing some good comments from a friend who had walked the entire SIM LIM SQUARE meticulously finding the best shop to repair his 3 years old SONY VAIO, I've decided to pop by the shop to see what the damages are.
Located on the bustling 3rd level at the corner, I am greeted by a view of simple furnishing and plently of computer parts, repaired laptops and refurbished laptops stored like books on the shelf. As I stopped at the front counter, the friendly staff immediately asked me what help i needed. Upon discussing the condition of the my laptop, she helped me do a scan and later provided some professional advices which gave me hope. My most loyal and faithful aging companion had finally hope for rejuvenation! She briefly go through the processes she will do and the end result and most importantly, she did mention that she might be able to keep most of the information still intact and an hour is all she needs.
After 45 mins of a fabulous lunch break at the food court in the basement, I received a call from her that my laptop is ready for collection and upon collection, she did a check for me while i witness my rejuvenated Lenovo X61 do its due dilligence. It ran pretty smoothly, just like an antique car fixed on with a new engine. Not powerful and sophisticated like a newly built however, good enough for my usage. I thank her and paid a sum of $50 for all the checking and reinstallation of a new OS complete with some of my inherent programs and drivers.
Service is good, efficient and trustworthy. I mean I have had experience with some other repair shops in the same location that did not do a good job, plenty of take back and do it again recurrents and they charged me sky high... So if you have some laptop troubles, this shop is a good option. I;ve had a good experience here and i'm sure you might too...

Great place to hang around if you are with some friends and looking for a place to rest your legs and chat up a little. Sadly they only have like 2 sets of couch seat which could house approximately 8 person and the rest of the seats are normal dining height table and chairs.
I admit... its pretty hard to get seats especially on weekends and near to exam season as we do see many students making study time here. Its not exactly conducive for study with the noise and discussions going on.
2 things i really like about this place.
1) The merchandise corner. They have 2 merchandise area. One is near the entrance whereby you could see all their merchandises like Coffee powders, tea leaves, Coffee Machines, the ever so lovely mugs, cups and other memorabilia. The second one is this rack of tea leaves and cans of premium chocolate powder and other drinking stuffs on this classic wooden rack surrounded by dining tables and chairs. Browsing is easy and the items are so reachable, despite the steep prices, I myself have bought quite a number of their merchandises for myself and my friends and families.
2) The condiment counter is great. Last i checked, they do have a great variety of topping powder instead of just the regular, chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla, they now have 'STOLEN' and other exotic concoctions for you to SPICE UP YOUR DRINKS.. I simply LOVE THAT KIND OF FUN!!!
I always loved the "ALL DAY BREAKFAST" I think its a pretty good deal for a hearty breakfast that always serve with a side salad of hearty lettuce and cherry tomatoes, with chopped almonds and cranberry drizzled with italian sauce... HEALTHY and APPETIZING... Coupled with a cup of all day refill brew of the day... Its pretty worth it as a decent breakfast in a comfy environment just goes at most S$12.
Also try the lunch sets.... I tried the black pepper chicken Fettucini and it was great.. For S$13, I've got a huge plate of yummilicious main with a glass of ice fruit tea. The serving was really good and it took the help of my other friend to finish it. The sauce and chicken is of a generous portion, noodles well cooked and springy when chewed.
Besides great coffee, great breakfast and interesting merchandises.. Now their Lunch are also fabulous.

I took a full beginner's course with Pro18 Golf which consist of trainings on the range and a session in the golf course. I enjoyed the classes as the trainers are helpful and good at imparting their knowledge.
My first lesson was learning the correct grip, hitting the ball and proper stance as well as golf etiquette. Being a total beginner and having 5 other classmates, I struggled a little however with clear instructions from the patient trainers Pro Chubby and Pro Yusri. I finally managed to hit the ball without much embarrassment from flying rooftop balls or balls rolling down or even balls hitting the side guard with a loud bang alerting the rest of the golfers to turn around and look. At the end of the class I was encouraged and the instructors were very nice to invite us to come back to the range to practice on weekdays evenings as they can be around to guide.
The following weekday I turned up at the range and there were other classes, but as I practiced my swing with my bucket of 100 balls, Chubby or Yusri would stop by occasionally and encouraged me while also correcting my posture and training me with more advance techniques. I could see their passion in playing Golf and teaching Golf... These extra classes went on for almost the entire period of my course with them and i truly appreciate the extra tips and training that was passed on to me.
I could now play fairly well and look forward to take on more classes with Pro Chubby and Pro Yusri. I see their dedication, passion and patience in which i think patience is most likely a result from the experience of teaching newbies like me... as we sure could generate quite abit of frustration from Mind / Hand / Instruction non-coordination.
Overall, they are good at what they do, classes and instructions are clear, concise and practical. The location is great and they do have spare equipment for use. Prices are economical and I feel that I received so much more than what I have paid for... VALUE is SUPERB... and they make the classes so enjoyable.. Great memories for me :)

Unfortunately I never had the chance to step into their premise, and judging from the tele-marketing calls I've received so far, it's a good thing.
The tele-marketing team is superbly hardworking, so much so that they remember to call me once a day to remind me of this sms they sent and to chase up for an appointment. Even on a weekend - I'm impressed.
After the first few calls and me telling them I am only going to look at the sms when I have time (and for them NOT to call me again), they decided to change their tact. Their calls became to want to reconfirm a phantom appointment the next day 2pm. Smart of them huh. Even after I told them that I didnt make any, they'd still call me the next day asking to reconfirm my 2pm appointment the next day. They just keep trying don't they.
The last straw was just yesterday when I received the same call, and I think from the same lady too (or maybe they all just sound the same) asking to reconfirm my appointment at 2pm 'tomorrow'. I raised my voice, asked her to please take me off the calling list, and all she said was "oh, does this mean you are not interested?".
It took a whole week of them to get that. Well done.

Expect good discounts in this NIKE Factory Outlet store, though you might just see up to a max of 55%, remember that NIKE items are usually discounted from 10%-30% if you are just so blessed... Being controlled priced... you hardly could find a salivating discount for NIKE products.
I like this NIKE Factory Outlet, though i expect more discounts, but the items there are not exactly out of fashion even though there are still some dodgy looking ones. 2 things out of the many merchandizes I love to buy here..
1. NIKE Sport Shoes.... because they are always on a great discount of 30% and above and they mostly have mine size which is a common 8. You will also find some really outstanding designs that you may not find in departmental stores or other outside stores, designs such as high cut nike shoes (not basketball shoes) just high cut and washed in a sweet pink with some furry parts... I bought a pair of street walking NIKE shoes too... Leather black with purple trimmings and an excellent sole for just $39.90 last week.
2. T-Shirts..... You cannot imagine how pricey Nike T-shirts can be, i mean we all know how cheap t-shirts can get especially these days when you can buy then online, but the material and make of Nike T-shirts are very precise, in terms of the stitching and wear experience is good, higher end materials are used to prevent deformation and durability as well as comfort on the body. They have quirky and motivating designs in which both says SPORTSMAN / SPORTSWOMAN... or the infamous RUNNER... which i find so appealing... They do come with great deals like 2 for $29.90 and you could mostly be able to find your size.
Service is good in NIKE... you have free and easy browsing, nobody to suck up to you or watch you like an owl... You could do whatever you want however, when you needed something.. you could always find somebody to help you. I was browsing some shoes and immediately a lady came to ask me if i needed some other sizes and even volunteered socks for me.
I should say my experience at this outlet is a good one and I've always been patronizing them and will still do... On top of that... Merchandise is exchangeable within 14 days at the factory outlet store with original packing and defective items may be returned within 6 months with receipt.. I mean with such a policy... we could really buy with faith...

I stumbled upon this very interesting cafe after watersports at Kallang River one evening. Everything was right, the location, the look of the building, the ambiance, the smell in the air, the delectable snacks and the people lounging around enjoying their moment of quiet reading.
Loysel's Toy is a one of its kind coffee hideout. Nestled next to picturesque Kallang River in a low white building surrounded by lush greenery of the park, drowning the air with aromatic coffee and baked muffins.
I chose a table just outside the cafe... Yes they do have air-con sitting inside the cafe however on a cool day like this, I rather enjoy some fresh air. Their coffee menu was a good mix of the regulars and some special extensive and interesting mixes... I mean these guys are the COFFEE CRAFTERS... and coffee is a serious business to them. Though I'm enticed by the thought of trying something dangerous, I've decided to go for my regular latte, which is a good balance of acidity and sweetness... I've of chosen a peanut butter muffin and I must say.. its perfectly nutty on the inside and the melted peanut butter cream on the top just gives it the oomph....
If you would like some nice aromatic beans or interested in having a professional coffee maker in your house... You could also find some there or enquire on their webpage... Oh yar.... They also do rental of bicycles for cycling around the Kallang riverside park.. and the bicycles look so not like the East Coast Park kind.. its more of a city bike and so leisurely luxurious :)
It is a great experience and prices are about Coffee Bean / Starbucks kind of price range. The setting is lovely and i think its a great place to hang out with friends or have some personal time. I appreciate joints like Loysel's Toy as there is really not many of such dwellings around in the urban city like ours. I look forward to much more time hanging here :)
Oh Yar! By the way.. Really nice Logo... Like a stamp from some old toys... very nostalgic

I discovered this place when a friend brought me here with much enthusiasm about a dessert, and I thought I should be adventurous. And I am glad I did!
Chicken Pide with Cheese ($16.90) - Turkish pizza I call it. And it was excellent with thin crust and the edges just nicely crispy, and minced chicken flavourful on its own and the cheese adding the final touches to the dish. It should be okay for 1pax but not 1 very hungry pax.
Kunefe ($12.90) - a couple layers of shredded pastry joined by a thin layer of unsalted cheese, baked in a hot oven, topped off with light syrup, served with pistachios and a drizzle of cream - the signage proudly shouts "a piece of heaven" and "the best dessert you'll ever have". And you know what, they were almost right! This is unlike any dessert I've ever tried and not too sweet to boot. The cripsy baked pastry melded too well with the unsalted cheese~ And apparently they must have ran out of pistachios coz mine came with almonds, not that I'm complaining. The cream came in a quantity obviously more than a drizzle - more like a moat - but it was not too bad and ended up adding an omph to the presentation.
Service was nothing to complain about as the place is small and the seemingly experienced (Turkish?) staff were rather efficient.
A nice find I must say, with nice food to boot, plus no crowd to jostle with. Will be back just for the Kunefe!

I am surprise that Kim Robinson is not yet listed on Yebber, so here I am :)
Due to a stroke of good luck, I had the opportunity to experience a moisture treatment plus a cleanse & finish (wash and blow) which is supposed to take 2 hours and it cant be redeemed on Fri, Sat, and PH, so I booked for a Sunday slot.
I have the say the premise is impressive, and you do feel the difference when you step into the atas salon. Upon being seated, you'd be asked if you'd like any drink, and they did have peppermint tea ~
I was led into a similarly atas winding corridor into the common area where a few other tai tai were being seated. My therapist Bernice introduced herself and explained the steps of the treatment to me - 2 steams plus 2 rinses. Perhaps the difference was felt during the rinse as they were very gentle, although I felt that the techniques could have been better and included some sort of massage. The moisture treatment was over and done with in half hour.
I was then ushered to another area for the finish and the artist Keith similarly came over to introduce himself and recommended a simply style of finish. He was very thorough I must add, carefully making sure that the finish is indeed well, finished. He also passed me his namecard at the end and ushered me out to the reception area thereafter.
Little touches like making sure you're alright during rinses and replacing the tea with hot ones were appreciated.
Before leaving, I also received a first timer's welcome pack which contains 5 vouchers for mani /pedi, cut highlight, cut, scalp treatment which I will definitely use as the prices are reasonable (the ala carte prices are not).
Honestly, I didnt feel my prizes was worth the $200 it was advertised for. Yes it was a nice experience and all that but for the fact it was Kim Robinson and for $200 , I was expecting a wow somewhere. But it didnt happen. Maybe it was the fact that they knew I was not a paying customer but that shouldn't affect the service provided, no?

This review is a bit late but better late than never I guess. I booked a promotional massage at $33 on a Saturday together with a facial too. When we called to make the appointment, we informed that we were booking for 2 treatments accordingly.
When we arrived, surprise surprise, we were told that as both promos were for first timers, we were allowed only for 1 as technically after the first treatment, we would no longer be first timers and thus not eligible for the 2nd treatment.
Left with no choice, we opted for the massage instead of the facial, but was told that the massage was arranged for the 2nd hour only, and for us to go walk around and return. So we concluded that they'd rather have the slots empty and not make a sale instead of letting us proceed with both treatments.
We walked around and returned after 1 hour and were ushered in. Annoyingly, I was asked 3 time what my full name was and was addressed by the wrong name even when I was already lying on the treatment bed. On 1 of the occasions, I replied with my first name and was told that it was not sufficient and the masseur insisted on me saying my full name. How rude of them.
When I finally got to my massage, I thought nothing else could go wrong. WRONG. My masseur was falling sleep. I could feel her finger sliding and making sudden and jerking movements while massaging my head. And when I tried to quietly make some noise in the hope of making her more alert, but it didnt work at all.
When leaving, the manager asked for my feedback but she really couldnt care less, so I didnt bother.
Touche Elite? What a joke.
