Had been to this outlet several times before. I would say that the service there is quite good and the staff are very helpful. The view there is great, if you are seated at the balcony area. Also, there is a lesser crowd there as compared to teh one at Bugis and thus, one need not have to wait in the queue for a long time. Normally when I go there, I can go in straightaway without waiting at all. (",)
As for the food, my personal favorite are the Billy's BBQ Buffalo Ribs, Honey Stung Crispy Golden Chicken, Yin & Yang Burger, American Fries and Onio Rings. The taste is good and value for money. Also, do order the lemon tea as it comes in a min pitcher which can be shared among two people.
I would say that the place has good food for money and it is very accessible as well, since The Central is directly above Clarke Quay MRT (NEL ). So do go there and give it a try.

Had dim sum at Victor's. Quality is quite good while prices are relatively cheap.
Victor's custard buns were probably one of the better ones that I've tried so far, with the custard milky, smooth and moist while the bun soft, fluffy and warm. The only thing that's lacking is the richness of the custard, which I did find a little lacking. Maybe I'm just picky.
Tasty Chicken (Hong Kong Style) - I didn't find this dish too fantastic as the taste of the rice wine was overwhelming and personally, I'm not really a fan of chicken cooked this way.
The Char Siew Cheong Fun was probably one of the weakest links in Victor's offerings. The skin was a little too thick and came across as rather starchy, unlike the silky smooth and translucent thin skins that good cheong funs should have. The char siew was rather normal as well, which kinda sealed the fate for this dish.
The Tasty Queen size Siew Mai wasn't really queen size per se. It was just slightly bigger than your average siew mai. What I liked about it was that the proportion of fatty meat to lean meat was relatively low, which didn't make me queasy after eating too much. But the skin was a tad too dry though
A hot favourite amongst customers, the prawns in the har gao were very fresh, albeit not too crunchy. The skin was nicely done, lightly stretchable and not too thick, but please eat it when its still hot.
Marginally smooth with a fair amount of bite best describes the Scallop, Sausage Carrot Cake. Sure it isn't exactly near the best that I've eaten, but for the price, no one's complaining. One gripe though, I couldn't taste or make out any traces of scallop or sausage in the carrot cake. Talk about misrepresentation.
Maybe its a norm to call it something as grand as phoenix porridge in Hong Kong, but in Singapore, we call it pi dan chow, or century egg porridge. Victor's rendition wasn't the least bit impressive, being average at best. The porridge tasted like normal slightly runny porridge with small pieces of century egg and prawn balls in it.
A filling dim sum brunch for 2 pax cost us about $20, which is cheap for the above average quality dim sum that you get. Of course there are better ones out there, but don't forget that they cost a lot more too. Try this place out, but please don't get your expectations too high and you will enjoy it.

Was at this outlet a couple of weeks ago.. As compared to the outlet at Raffles City, I felt that the service here was seriously much better. Firstly, instead of you having to fin your seats, they will usher you to your seats and let you have a choice of seats if the place isn't very crowded.
Secondly, the staff service was prompt and helpful in explaining some of the items on the menu to us. Thirdly, the staff brought two glasses of iced water to us even without us asking for it and somemore, iced water could be taken on your own from the bread counter as I saw later.
So I ordered a set of CRISPY COMBO, which was a Golden combination of crispy fried chicken fish fillets, prawn dippers, rodeo wings, mixed vegs & fries comes with 2 dips, B.B.Q. sauce & chef's special sauce ( which I think is mayo mixed with abit of wasabi). I must say that the food also tasted better than that at Raffles City.
So overall, I would give it a thumbs up and go back for more if the crowd is nt that huge. Lastly, from time to time, they have special promotions for credit card payments, so do check it out with the staff when you are paying your bill.

If memory serves me correct, I have only eaten twice in that restaurant and both times, I left with a not so good impression.
The first time round, was with a grp of polymates. And one of the guy's meal came only after everyone were already halfway through their meals and his order was nothing complicated that required a long time to prepare.
The second time, again the same thing happened. And like what Polarbear had mentioned, the only thing nice there is perhaps the bread, which is free flow. But hey cmon, I go there nt to just eat bread loh!!!
SO overall, I dnt think I would go back to this outlet anymore till their standards improve.

Ytd was at the Starbucks Raffles City to talk abt some insurance thingy with agent and gf. SO after we were done, gf nated to eat at the Cafe Cartel next door. So despite the poor experiences I had in the past I decided to give it one more chance. But still they disappointed me. I ordered two dishes but they only keyed in one!!! Luckily I discovered it quite early on else I would have been sitting there waiting in vain for my meal. So therefore, its proven to me that this outlet's service still is nt up to standard and needs lots of improvement.

I went to K-BoX to Sing last friday night.... It was fun and I was so impressed by the size of this thing.....
We were late.. and thats all because of the GAGA Girls I was with and then we couldn't find the right room, because the place is freaking huge...... I thought the K-Box at level 4 was huge, wait till you see the level 8 Branch..... Goodness.. this is Singapore, not MUMBAI.......
Since the GAGA girls are equally blur as me, we asked for room 26 at Level 4 even though we were repeatedly told its room 26 at Level 8. My clever brain thought the level 4 K-Box is huge enough and there could only be one. But as we were brought to the room 28 at level 4 I rushed in with a loud HELLO.... and I was greeted with 8 Strangers with SHOCK Faces.. Talk about most embarassing moments.
Then we proceeded to the level 8... and when the lift door opened...... WELCOME TO MUMBAI style K-BOX.... It was so huge and there were lotz of servers all around.. saying GOOD EVENING, HOW ARE YOU to us.... The room was a comfortable size for 8 or 10...
Songs were pretty updated with the newest singable mandaring and english songs. We didn't check out the hindi songs but I'm sure its as updated if not Better.... The common toilet was a screw up, but just don't drink so much, I think its fine. We had quite a great time and later into the night, our Hong Kong girlfriends went Crazy and danced on the couches threatening to Tuo Diao Tuo Diao......
Hm... I think that last point just invited a huge percentage of Singaporean men to visit K-Box at level 8 Cineleisure.. As such I shall stop here.....
Tuo Diao Tuo Diao..... Shang Yi Tuo DIao Tuo Diao........
Tong Tong Tuo DIao Tuo Diao.......

I have a NDS Lite... In short its a 2 screened GAMEBOY. If you think that its a childish thing, then you should buy one and experience the sophistication of the technology especially crafted into this handheld equipment. I always wanted to protect the screens as I am not very gentle towards handheld equipments.
One faithful SUNDAY afternoon, I was shopping in FUNAN and I came across the screen protector i wanted to find in PK COMPUTERS PTE LTD. It is retailing at only $7.90, comes in exactly cut sizes and is of a pretty good quality.
It is easy to find screen protectors and it can get really cheap, but usually the cheap ones are not of good quality and most of the time you've got to place them on yourself. They come off easily and might harm your screen instead of protecting it. Especially when you have a touch screen, sometimes when we are excited we tend to be rather ROUGH on the screens and they are very expensive to replace.
I got the protectors and proceed to payment. After payment, the retail assistant asked if I brought my unit and proceed towards fixing the protector up for me. It was perfectly fitted on and I've never seen my NDS Lite so clean since day 1.
For those looking for screen protectors, I recommend PK Computers. Though they do not specialise in this but they did an excellent job in fixing it on. You can also play some games on their demo sets while waiting for them to get your protector on. So far, this is the only place i could find such good quality protectors at such value price.
For an even cheaper idea, you might want to stick on a piece of clear masking tape... Hee hee.....

I was walking by with my girlfriends one friday night heading to SING our HEADs OUT at the K BOX at cineleisure when my GAGA friend got distracted by a beautiful belt from VOOM Lifestyle. A booth outside WORLD OF SPORTS selling accessories and other stuffs.
I got a greater shock when i saw the price. A beautiful synthetic leather belt with embrodry was only going for less then $10. It was very nice, sweet and goes well with jeans or pants. My other GAGA friend who is an accessory craze got crazy over the ear rings. She was trying almost every design on. These ear dressers are only going for 2 for $5. Really a good bargain. They have all sorts of trendy designs, colours and even glam pieces for special occasion.
I was attracted by this beautiful pandent, shaped like a ring but its actually a metal crown. I was thinking..... "Wear a crown around your neck and feel like ROYALTY...."
There were many interesting and I should say special designs. Designs that creates controversy among your GAGA friends yet they cannot be commonly found anywhere. I always like to feel special somehow or rather.
Visit this shop and be special....... Oh yar.. Bring Along Your GAGA friends. What fun is shopping without the..
"OH... My... GOSH....."
"Its So BEAUTIFUL....."
"Do I Look FAT in this......"
"Oh......Sooo...... CUTEeeee........."
Written in honor to my GAGA Girlfriends......

Last visited this place abt two months ago for a fren's birthday chalet. Basically, the place didnt change much since years ago, thou a new cineplex is coming up at the end of teh year I think. Maybe by then things will get better.
Over there, nthg much to do except going to casino, Wild Wild Wet and Downtown East Theme Park, which I think is a waste of money cos the games aint that exciting and yet the queue can be quite long.
Also, the swimming pool in the chalet area is pathetically small!!! ANd with kids all playing aound in the same pool, one can't really do any serious swimming.
Overall, I would say the chalet facilities are just normal, with a small TV, a fridge and the beds are like so small. In addition, the walls are actually nt that thick and if one listens intently, u can actually pick out parts of the conversation going on in the next door. LOL.
So hopefully when the new cineplex is up, things will be much better with more entertainment amenities.

Was at IKEA Tampines on Sunday to see see look look. Wanted to try out the meatballs recommended by my colleague, who has been talking abt it. So the first thing I did was to go and find the Swedish meatballs at the cafe. Upon reaching, I saw that the crowd was quite big, with a lot o fthe 3-tier trolleys lying around and blocking the passageway. In addition, there were people who were hoarding the seats even though they were already done with their meal.
The queue itself was quite alrite, thou it did take me sometime before I got out of it. Just bought the Swedish meatballs. It was ok, nt really that fantastic as I thought it was.
May go back and try the other foods on a weekday perhaps instead to avoid the crowd.

Was at this restaurant during Father's day. My sister had previously eaten at this place with her colleagues and found it to be good so we decided to go there and try t out.
Indeed the food was not bad. During the lunch period, you could opt either the tim sum buffet (30 items) or the chinese dishes buffet (50 items). As fo dinner buffet (yet to try till now), there was only the chinese dishes buffet available.
While we were there, we opted for the tim sum buffet. The food was served promptly and the servings were fairly large. The taste of the 虾饺， 烧卖，猪肠粉，etc were good too and juicy and fresh. Just to add on, even though we had ordered the tim sum buffet, we did still ordered a couple of the chinese dishes on an ala carte basis. And I must say the chinese dishes were well worth the money too. The price list is as shown:
Buffet Lunch
11.30am - 2.30pm (Last Order at 2pm)
Tim Sum - 30 Items at only
$11.80 Per Pax (Mon-Fri)
$14.80 Per Pax (Sat, Sun, Eve of Public Holidays & Public Holidays)
Chinese Dishes - 50 Items at only
$20.80 Per Pax (Mon-Fri)
$22.80 Per Pax (Sat, Sun, Eve of Public Holidays & Public Holidays)
Buffet Dinner
6.30pm - 10.30pm (Last Order at 9.30pm)
Chinese Dishes - 50 Items at only
$21.80 Per Pax (Mon-Fri)
$23.80 Per Pax (Sat, Sun, Eve of Public Holidays & Public Holidays)
However, do take note that this restaurant is really uite crowded,especially on occassions like Mother's Day, Father's Day. So do make a reservation before going down, cos' I really did see them turning people away who did not make a reservation when I was there.
