    Ang Moh Kio Branch:

    What I had: Egg Salad separate spicey fries.
    It was a really big portion considering it is salad. It really filled my stomach.

    Toa Payoh Branch:

    What I had: (over a period of time)
    Beef Burger set, fish n chips, cesar salad...

    So far so good, never disappointed. Service better than most restaurants, all sauces available...

    Coffeeshop quite airy, not too hot...but waiting time is usually 30mins...

    overall damn good food, damn good price, like thir slogan...

    1122. Waraku (Marina Square)

    The very first time I had Waraku was one year ago at the Marina Square branch.

    Service is excellent, food was good against the price, ambience was great too.

    Recently I went to the branch at Central, and the experience was the extreme opposites.

    There were many people there at dinner time, design of the restaurant appears to be packed, I felt that 'stress' eating there.

    Since there were many hotpot dishes, the air-con was disturbingly low and the oxygen was minimal too. This probably contributed to why the staff have awful expressions.

    They were ALL frowning, except the Japanese receptionist guy, who initiated the idea of serving drinks to the waiting customers.

    Dishes were served with a bang in on our tables, when we asked for apology, the apology was given with reluctance and frustration.

    Their so called 'free-flow' of ocha was slow in topping up, evn upon request from customers.

    I had Beef Kaminabe Set in miso, the soup was too thick, beef that is not even on par with Yoshinoya beef bowl.
    If I can pay $4 for a beef bowl in Yoshinoya and better than Waraku's beef slices, why not go Yoshinoya.

    The tempura was too oily, instead of the usual light feel, and had this 'lao hong' uncrisp.

    I was really disappointed with Waraku's quality control. I went back to Marina's and it was still as good.

    I strongly believe that the excuse of the restaurant being too crowded and lack of staff is never an excuse, the restaurant ought to hire more capable staff than one bouncing promoter who refuses to do waiteress' job. I have seen more multi-tasking waiters and waitresses in our places, keeping the place right though they are 'shorthanded'.

    Chong Pang Nasi Lemak has got the nicest chicken wings and drumsticks that I've ever tried! Superbly crispy and tasty, and the size is huge.

    The nasi lemak rice itself and the other side dishes are good too. Queue is usually pretty long, so be prepared to wait.

    And the shop itself is not very accessible unless you drive. But definitely worth the trip!

    1124. Alessi

    Alessi is an Italian kitchenware company which is famous for its colorful and playful designs.

    Their products can really turn the otherwise dull and boring kitchen into a fun place to cook and prepare food. Such as the futuristic-looking lemon squeezer, the cutesy eggcup, and the Anna G. wine bottle corkscrew pictured above.

    For people who believes in form over function (that's not saying that Alessi products lack functionality), this is the perfect place to get your kitchenware!

    Hong Kong cafes are all the rage recently! And this Tong Shui Cafe along Liang Seah Street is one of them. But in my opinion, not the best of them.

    The cafe is usually pretty packed (these days, which Hong Kong cafe isn't?) so big groups might find it difficult to get seats.

    I tried their Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Wolfberries and Iced Yin Yong, which are decent. But at $8.88, I am inclined to say that it's a little high on price.

    They also have the very popular Nissin noodles, which I should try one day!

    Looking for a shopping mall for all your home furnishing needs? Park Mall is the place to go! Well, provided you have the budget to match.

    The shops here mostly carry upmarket designer furniture such as Philippe Starck and Herman Miller.

    If you got the dough, you might just find the perfect things to beautify your home. Otherwise, even window-shopping here is not a bad idea at all!

    Seems to be one of the more popular computer shop in Sim Lim. And the service has really improved a lot over the years.

    The last time I stepped into the shop was with a friend who bought a external hard disk enclosure from them. We were pleasantly surprised when the sales person offered to test the item for us. Something quite rare in Sim Lim.

    As for prices, theirs are definitely among the better ones.

    Went to this outlet of Coffee Club several times, but the last time wasn't a very pleasant one.

    Perhaps due to their low table and the inexperience of the waitress, she spilled coffee (cold one, fortunately) on me while trying to place the coaster with one hand and balance the coffee on a tray with the other.

    The coffee only managed to spill on my socks, but they could have done better than just offering me some serviette to clean myself. Shouldn't the drink be on the house?

    And when the accident happened, the waitress was more concerned with cursing under her breath than apologising to us.

    Overall, nice and quiet cafe except for this unpleasant experience.

    I tried their Belgian Chocolate Chips ice-cream and fell immediately in love with it! The chocolate chips are chunky and absolutely delicious, while the ice-cream itself is creamy and just perfect in sweetness.

    The down side is that Andensens' ice-creams are not the cheapest ice-creams around. A single scoop costed me $4. But if you ask me, it is well worth the price!

    "Excellent service!" was the first thing that came into my mind when the boss/manager started taking our orders. His humor and his politeness made our birthday celebration dinner really enjoyable.

    The food is excellent. The Grilled Salmon Steak I had was one of the nicest I've tried. My friends seemed to have enjoyed their food too.

    As for the ambiance, I find it fitting for its name. And I'll have to give the alfresco bar area a try one day. After all, they have my favourite Kilkenny!
