    Ready for a FEAST..... Then you must come to HOOTERS.... I am not just referring to a feast of food, but also an eye feasting.

    Whenever i walk pass HOOTERS.... It is not the food that attracted me, but the OWLs? Thats when OWLS have sexy tight butts in that OH SO SEXY HOT PANTS... n that so tight teeney weenie T-Shirt.....

    HUSH HUSH..... I am an all Man girl and i LOVE MEN.... But I enjoy appreciating beautiful things, especially that of my fellow Sex....

    So one day, Me and my friends decided to go for the HOOTERS EXPERIENCE and boy.... I just can't stop the boys from drooling all the time.... The food was OK... American style.... but the girls were so distracting.... Or perhaps i should say the boys were irritating.... They kept asking for more attention, requesting for this and that and ordered alot of snack and beers.... and subsequently asking the ladies for their contact numbers.. you know the USUAL.... They are exactly like the OWL, stalking at the waitresses walking here and there... at the same time acting indifferent.

    The beer and the snacks is good... Then again.. the beer is always good... The chicky WINGS are fabulous... well marinated, crunchy and juicy...

    But i am really impressed with the service of the waitresses. They are very friendly and nice, and they know how to reject you gently while providing alternatives at times.


    For the Fun and the Good Services... Now i know why OWLs have got BIG EYEs........

    Cheap and good is what I call this Chicken Rice Stall.

    It was love at first sight! Ever since I took my first mouthful of the rice and chicken with their chilli, I knew immediately that this is what I'll be having for a long long time.

    As a fan of chicken rice (I don't take char siew or any food with pork/lard) I give this stall 4 out of 5 thumbs up. I'll order their set everytime I have it. Paying just $3.50 for a plate of boneless chicken, vegetables, rice and soup. Where can you find such a cheap chicken rice meal? I remember paying $5.50 to $6 for a set exactly the same at Food Courts.

    The meat is served with cucumber, a slice of tomato and few pieces of archar. Texture of meat is just right and it isn't too oily. The chilli is good too. Trust me. Cos I'm a chilli freak! LOL!

    Ayurvedic Salon is a little shop situated at Katong Shopping Centre. It's on the outside facing the main road. Near the Zhi Cha stalls.

    I chanced upon this shop last week and was greeted by a sweet Indian lady. She's the only one in the shop but she doesn't speak much English. She's very polite though and not pushy at all.

    She did eyebrow threading and upper lip threading on me. It wasn't very painful and she was patient and very thorough. I paid about $11 for both which is reasonable.

    I think the best part was that I didn't have any pimples or whiteheads after the threading. It sometimes happens when I go to other places (more expensive places) so I think I'm really satisfied with her service and would definitely visit her regularly.

    She also has traditional hair treatment, henna and facial treatments. Quite interesting really. But as it's a one-man outfit you'd have to call the number to make sure she's open before you go! :)

    **Update**
    I was just there again today. In fact I have been to this place regularly for the past few months. I like the service here and they are not pushy about their services and products which I find such a relief.

    I had my usual threading done then I had a head-shoulder massage for my aching neck. It was great! My head feels so much lighter. while doing the massage, Pooja even suggested some things I can do at home to improve the condition of my hair, without trying to sell me anything at all. Isn't that really rare? Do check them out!

    Central is a cafe chain with outlets at Vivo, Tampines and Ngee Ann City... And this one in the basement of Parkway Parade.

    Today is not my first time there.. it should be the 3rd trip already. I can't remember what I ordered during the first two trips but it was just ok. A tad expensive if you consider its price... but this time..

    Food ordered
    Chicken Chop Noodle Dry
    Chicken Chop Cheese Baked Rice

    Guess we were in the mood for chicken chop. The outlet was relatively crowded for a weekday evening. But we were tend to quickly and had our orders taken. The food took just a short while to arrive which was good since we were really hungry.

    The Chicken Chop Dry Noodle was the really thin noodles (which I like) with some vegetables and two pieces of chicken chop. I like the sauce which was not too salty and the noodles. But the chicken was quite fatty and I couldn't bear to eat about 1/5 of it due to that reason. The soup served with the noodles was great. I finished it, which was rare for me.

    The Chicken Chop Cheese Baked Rice had more pieces of chicken in it with tomato and was well covered with cheese. The Cheese had hardened a little by the time it arrived but it was still warm. A tad salty for my taste but my companion thought it to be fine. The chicken bits in this dish were less fatty and more palatable.

    This time, it cost us $17. Once in a while would be alright.

    I wonder what do you think about READING MAGAZINES on your computer? Well, i think its saves the earth by reducing printing and waste and these days we spend most our time on the computer then anything else.

    I recognise the fact that hard copies of magazines and books are still one of our favorites and i can go on and on about the multiple usages of overdue copies of the magazines...

    However, i took it as a new challenge to read magazine on my lappy and I found it more interactive and fun then ever. There are thousand and one online magazine shops but i chose ZINIO because of its very good deals. I could get some overseas magazines for just a fraction of its price at the local book store. I do receive some free magazines occassionally with them as well... Its really good.....

    You may subscribe or download some free copies of magazine for viewing first. I don't deny that there will be some getting used to... But its good...

    Firstly, the magazines are cheaper.... but they arrive more timely then the actual print. It flips just like a normal magazine then again, it is prone to your lappy's Speed. The files are not huge and you may download them into more then one computer. They are also stored online and if you log in at your work computer, you can download the current copy and the past copies right into your 2nd computer at work... Some magazines are interactive... On some pages, you can see videos, music and multiple images on one page.

    You must really try it.. Its FUN and It SAVES THE EARTH.....

    Me too when to a complimentary massage session at Body Wellness.... The treatment was pretty comfortable, not fabulous but OK....

    But i didn't really like the no emotions face the staff put on. Its rather not welcoming. The environment was relaxy... and during my hot wrap therapy, the lady that massaged me were talking with her staff outside my room at the walkway... The partition was thin..... i could hear the exclaimation the laughter and everything else... Talk about resting and relaxing.....

    After my session, they showed me into this mean looking room and started to rattle on their packages. I kindly rejected them, but they insisted on telling me more... Coaxing my credit card out of my wallet.... I did not purge.... Just insisted NO.....

    I should just say... good range of services... but got much to work on the staffs.

    2167. Werner’s Oven

    Bobo Bobo says:

    Werner's Oven is a famous German bakery and restaurant situated along Upper East Coast in the Siglap area.

    I've been buying bread from them for ages and only today, I've tasted the food in their restaurant.

    They have good pastries in their bakery. Great if you love wholemeal bread with all kinds of breads and seeds. I love the Fitness Bread which goes for $6.45. It's really healthy but quite costly at that price as one loaf can only be cut into about 15 pieces.

    Food ordered (for 6 adults)
    Schlachtplatte for 3
    A knuckle, smoked sausage, farmer's sausage, wild garlic sausage, two kassler and nurnbergerle, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and brezel
    Beef Lasagne
    Calamari
    Breadcrumbed Fish

    The Calamari came first and it was very fresh. It was deep fried in a special batter but not very oily. The batter was delicious although not light.

    The Beef Lasagne came next. It was pretty decent, served with potato salad.

    The Schlachtplatte was the ultimate. There were a variety of sausages (German fare) and a huge pork knuckle. There were also two pretzels. It filled up the stomachs of 5 hungry adults.

    They also serve a variety of German beers which was ordered at every table but ours. The ambience is pretty casual and cosy. The service was fine, though not fantastic.

    Really worth a try. We spend about $100 which is about $16 per person.

    Interested in getting a Brazilian WAX? For First Timers... you must come to Revive Wellness and especially ask for Lynn...

    I guess many have definitely heard of brazilian waxing and it is always associated with pain, but I'm quite sure its worth the effort... after which you could see your tropical rainforest bare with baby smooth skin....

    You need some courage to do such kind of waxing and Lynn is very assuring and accomodating...

    When i first stepped in Revive wellness, the soothing aroma of the essential oils soothes me from my rush rush. It is not Huge but its very cosy. The lighting and interior design brings about a relaxing atmosphere, immediately I felt calmness within me.

    The ladies working there were helpful and nice. They showed me to a spacious restroom where I can wash up and slip into the comfy 100% SILK Jap Style Bathrobe.. It was very sweet and I have since decided to get myself a couple of those beautiful comfy robes.

    I was then showed into another room when Lynn introduced herself and brief me about the procedure.. She even provided me with cushions and asked me if I was comfortable. She is very assuring and resourceful as she made use of many nominal things to prop me up in many ways and it was very very comfortable.

    First she covered your legs with a warm towel and trimmed the area. She did it so gently that there was no need for embarassing feelings. Then she applied some cool lotions.

    I really liked the different creme being applied. There was one for clensing, one to numb and one to soothe... When the wax is being applied, it was warm and very SHIOK.. and then the ripping part in which is quick and it sure did remove alot of hair, best of all, you could see the white heads of the hair (Sense of Establishment).

    It felt exactly like when you get smacked on your thighs. Its like a one time pain, BEARABLE yet it goes away real QUICK and leaves a nice bare portion. The whole process was so quick and I was very very comfortable. The soothing music and comfy environment made me a little sleepy despite the supposedly aggitating process. Lynn was really attentive to my emotions and needs. She made the whole process such a brisk and fun one.

    The wax has got different flavours. The one i choose is the Strawberry one... Its a nice pinky tinge and its very soothing. They do have the chocolate version for it, and if you like it chocolatie you can ask them for it. The wax they use is unlike other kinds. It rips off cleanly and does not leave ugly wax bits behind. Unlike strip Waxing, Soft Wax rids hair more cleanly and drags the roots up with them rather strip wax is just acting on the surface.

    After the wax, they offer me nice cup of ginger tea and it just completes the whole experience. The other I like about their service is that they are not pushy to buy their packages. Everything is so relaxing and simple. I'm sure to bring my friends back there again.

    Its fun and the afterward effects are Fabulous.......

    2169. Island Creamery   
       10 Sep 2007 at 9:28 am
    claud claud says:

    Yes, its creamery. But is there more to it?

    After reading so much about Island Creamery from blogs and hearing people talk about it in forum, finally I went to check the place out yesterday. Rushed down to meet a group of bloggers at Serene Centre after a quicky at Games Convention over at Suntec.

    First thing that came to mind upon entering the small shop at the corner of Serene Centre was, "Hmm... another one with photo wall, just like pitstop." The big wall opposite the counter was covered with photos taken by the customers of Island Creamery. They have a portable photo printer where you can use to print your photos on the spot, scribble your names and what not on the photo and have a piece of the wall for your group. This is a very nice way to fill-up blank spaces on the wall as it added colors to the place with all the photos. This might also be one of the pulling factor that draws customers to return to see if they can spot their photos again few months later at the same spot or if any friends they know visited the place too.

    So what can you find other than the photo wall at Island Creamery? Ice-cream of course! And in many interesting flavors too. One of the other attraction is the many local taste flavored ice-creams available. Find Teh Tarik, Pulua Hitum, Chendol, Apple Pie, Holick, Milo and many other flavors that'll make you want to try them all.

    My group bought 4 tubs for $8 each and shared. Flavors are Nutella, ReversO, Burnt Caramel and Teh Tarik. I tried them all and concluded that other than the unique flavors and taste, that tasted just the way they should, there's really nothing much to rave about. The ice-cream is too creamery for my liking. And they are very sweet too. I had to drink 2 gulps of water after each scope (small scope) of ice-cream.

    My bf bought a scope (at $2.50) of the berry mixed flavor to try. We both felt that this one tasted slightly better as the sourness from berries somehow lessen the sweet taste of the ice cream. And you can taste the berries and had to crew on it.

    There're other better ice creams out there. If I were to return to Island Creamery, it would either be for another gathering or someone invited me there for free ice-cream. Other than that, I'll probably not return for the ice cream.

    If you love Kong Bak Pau.. (Braised Pork Bun) then WESTLAKE should be a farmiliar name to you. Being the winner of the excellent food award, westlake sends their braised pork bun everywhere. Many might have tasted their yummy buns but had never seen or eaten in the restaurant before.

    WESTLAKE, a very old yet very good restaurant serves fabulously YUMMY traditional chinese food in every style. It is situated at the OLD HDB houses at queen's street in between farrer road and bukit timah road. Humble looking yet thriving with customers. I especially loved the outdoor sits as during a cool day, you could really enjoy the nice breeze, have your chinese tea and delectable crabs as well as the wonderful attention of the many waiters and waitresses... I could say their service is fast and good. For traditional chinese restuarants, i always face the problem of catching the attention of the waitresses and they usually come with an attitude. But here at WESTLAKE.. it seemed so different.

    I also love to order the braised pork bun and usually have to DA BAO some back home. The soft moist buns filled with tender dark squares of glistening plush belly meat in tasty dark sauce is simply too irrisistable. I love how juicy it was when i bite into it while the meat is thinly slices and it simply melts in your mouth. These buns are not small... They are actually pretty huge when compared to other pork buns.

    If you like chinese food, this is really a place to go. I would suggest go ALFRESCO if you can. There are also many other dishes like dim sum, crabs, hot and sour sichuan soup which are all yummy to choose from.

    Food so good... its hard not to recommend my friends there......
