    Was at Vivo a while back when I spotted Vinco donuts. As the queue was "queue-able", we joined in. We noticed couple of reasons why the queue is forever so long. Its not cos there wasn't enough donuts! Well, the queue could have gone faster if the specialists move at a quicker pace, the specialist breaks out of their comfort zone and help out with the serving (instead of folding more boxes when its already so high up and falling) and if the people could have made their decision while waiting in the queue instead of starting to think what to order when they’ve reached the counter!

    Being a good girl, I keep chanting my order while waiting in line, hoping that this will help those poor people who are waiting behind to speed it up a few seconds… but sad to say, the packing specialist took too gentle care of the donuts and slowed things up again…

    Well, with the queueing and waiting aside, the donuts were quite yummy. Quite tasty and spongie. So if you happen to pass by and the queue seems bearable, give it a try. Don’t just buy 1, buy all the flavours if you can afford to! Cos you’ll never know when will be the next time when the queue is “queue-able”.

    Updates: With effect from 22nd August Vinco - The Doughnut Parlour has been rename as Dippin`Donut

    Was having dinner at Fish & Co, Suntec on Sunday. The crowd was lesser than on Satudays and lucky for us, there wasn't a queue. We were shown to an empty table almost immediately and given the menu. (The changed their menu and now comes in lunch and dinner versions.)

    We ordered our usual, Swordfish Collar and Platter for One. The waiting time for our food to be served was alright, the usual waiting time. As always, the food was nice and warm.

    Couple of things that I would like to mention here...
    First we saw a black substance in our Passion Fruit drink, which my bf said looked like a fish scale... hmm... we asked for a new glass, and they did immediately replaced it for us. Then the other one was the missing sides (vegetables) from bf's swordfish collar. Instead, the plate was filled with more rice. Puzzled, we asked for help. The manager (we suppose) came over and then he went into the kitchen to check. He came back with a wok of vegetables and said that the kitchen thought we requested for all rice. (This I think the waiter who took our order heard us wrongly. We asked for rice instead of chips. But not rice instead of veges.)

    No matter who was at fault for the above incidents, the most important thing is the friendly and no-fuss service that they've given us. We enjoyed the dinner. Will sure go back for dinner another day. But we will miss the mint they used to give after payment. (Or did they happen to run out of it on Sunday? Hmm...)

    By the way, Fish & Co is also a good place to celebrate birthdays at. The entire staff (even from the kitchen) will come together to sing the birthday gal/guy their version of birthday song! So cool! (Good place to bring a friend so that you can "sabo" the birthday friend! Cos it's kinda embarrassing with everyone's attention on you.)

    2225. Crab Shack

    We were trying to find a new place for food, and was planning to check out the cafe at Thomson CC, but it seems packed and there wasn’t a parking lot, so we went to the opposit and parked the car. Walked down the row of shops and found this tiny coffeeshop lighted nicely in yellow light, instead of the usual bright white light. Seemed like a normal coffeeshop with run-down stalls in front and tables and chairs everywhere, but what got our attention was the raw-looked signboard at the back of the coffeeshop - Crab Shack. Interesting name! Took a look at the menu and the thought of eating real crab meat without having to go through the trouble of digging it from the shell tempts my bf, who’s allegy to crab shell. So we went in and have a try.

    To our surprise, this place was quite popular few years back, there were magazine clippings and blogs that recommended this place. But guess, everyone’s the same, when something’s new and fresh, people will go, esp if TV show or stars went to do a cover for it etc… and after awhile, new places come up, and people go try them out and forget about the old ones.

    I’m glad I found this place by chance. Sure going back to eat when I’m around the area. The Crab Au Gratin is yummmmy!! If you like fresh flower crabs steamed to perfection, Crab Shack's the place to try!

    Sumo House Cheapest Japanese Food in Singapore

    I don't know if they are the cheapest but they are certainly cheap.

    Situated at the old Cinema along New Upper Changi Road, they share the premises with a Gaming shop/Arcade. It's hard to miss with all the posters and such pasted all over the front. Outside it may look a little sleazy and run-down. But they've done up the inside and it's pretty neat. Although they don't have large comfy sofas but it's just comfortable enough with air-conditioning.

    The food tasted:
    Chicken teriyaki set served with rice @ $4.90
    Cold Soba Noodles served with Mixed tempura @ $5.90
    Unagi Set with rice @ $8.90

    The food tastes much like Singaporean homecooked Jap food made with all those condiments you see at NTUC. Just minus the hassle of cooking. It's pretty good if you don't think about all the preservatives you're eating. Most importantly it's very fast. Occasionally the cook will be too generous with the sauces, but it's better than tasteless.

    Sets are pretty good value as they also include fruit, appetizer and free flow green tea.

    Good if you're gathering with a small group of friends... but not for impressing girls. :)

    *******This outlet has closed down. I went twice last week and all the posters have been taken down, etc. Do visit them at other outlets stated at their website!

    The Cheapest Japanese Food in Singapore is at Sumo House!! Its a no frill, good food japanese resturant (more like food court). Just good food at cheap price! Enjoy a tummy filling meal with a friend at less than $20! You should be able to get each a bento set, couple of side dishes and drinks. (Or just drink the self-service free flow green tea!)

    I've been to the Ang Mo Kio branch couple of times and we keep going back for more! The place is usually packed during peak periods (lunch and dinner) and you'll have to join a queue. However the queue moves pretty fast cause the resturant (food court) is done in a way where you will just want to move away once you've finished your meal. (If you're a big motion eater, you might end up arm fighting with the guy next to you! Tsk tsk!)

    Do give this place a try when you're around one. There's 3 branches now and guess more will be coming up. Check their website for the menu and operating hours.

    Sharing good food at value-for-money quality with everyone.

    This is the place to be for all the IT geeks out there! Ever since I became a mobile blogger (on my macbook), I started searching for place where I get wireless connection and power source and still allows me place to relax and chill out at. More than often, I find myself sneaking at cafes trying to get my power block into their power socket...

    But now, there's just the right place for me to go! Accessible via MRT at Raffles Place station. Its just a 5 mins walk from the station. The Geek Terminal is the one-stop place for all business meetings, friends gatherings, geeks get-togethers etc. They have high speed internet access and cool power lines where anyone can plug in and power up!

    The cosy ambience gives you a very homely feeling. And the people are very friendly and helpful too. They serve food from morning till night. If you've got no place to go between meetings, and need a place to chill and surf, check out Geek Terminal.

    Alan Photo (usually known as AP by most photog forums) is the place to get all your photography needs. From the most basic for the everyday users to the most sophsicated systems for the pros. AP has it all!

    As mentioned by Kilkenny above, the place looks kinda unfriendly when you step in the first time, but once you start talking or asking things with the staff there, you'll see how knowledgable, friendly and helpful they are.

    If you're looking for a new camera or lens or accessories for your photography hobby, check them out at Sim Lim Square Level 1.

    Recently, I popped by THE SOUP SPOON to try out their food.

    Spicy Herby Cheesy Wedges
    Cheesy? Din taste any cheese actually. But they are crispy though. They go well with the 3 dipper sauces - Garlic Mayo, Chili (normal) and Spicy Mayo

    Velvety Mushroom Stroganoff
    “Feels almost like eating fresh mushrooms out of the field. The mushrooms are so smooth, they glide down the throat. This soup is overpowering with the aroma of mushrooms perfect for mushroom lovers.”
    It’s label as “Healthier Choice”. So, less salty - not flavourful, but creamy. Half servings is good enough coz it’s very filling and they really give U a bowl FULL. I LOVE the soft bread that goes with it. It’s sweet and soft. I personally still prefer the mushroom soup from White Dog’s Cafe. SOUP SPOON is famous for it’s Boston Clam Chowder. I am yet to try it. I tried the Roasted Pumpkin with Caramelized Apple & Toasted Almonds long time ago, not sure if the receipe has improved.

    A must-try dish (according to my fren): Breaded Buttons with Garlic Aioli.
    “A simple ingredient: the Button mushroom is well known for it’s subtle and mild taste. We have taken this “simple” mushroom and have stuffed it with Mozerella Cheese and breaded it. Eat it with Garlic Aioli and it only speaks of heaven.”
    If I m not wrong, they are brown button mushrooms. The cheese is good…… the mushrooms with breaded crust is unique.

    Garlicky Herbed Foccacia - Crunchy! But tastless if without the garlic spread.
