The flea market jz happens out PF (China Sq). It alwasy attracts a crowd of people to go there see see look look.
Since I am there on Sundays for gym, I will walk around to see if there is anything good to buy.
Most of the people that set up stalls there are old people with a wide variety of both old (very old!) stuff or slightly newer things. Like Claudia had mentioned, you can find all the old toys, CD, even clothings there. Mostly 2nd hand stuff.
I am always on the look out for old toys, especially those that I had been playing since I was young. Those really bring back good memories.
Like all flea markets (I think), you can bargain with the seller for good price.
I am a big fan of La Mian & Xiao Long Bao from Crystal Jade. Once I feel like eating them, I will always think of Crystal Jade first. I have been to the Jurong Point outlet a few times and always find it crowded with people same as other outlets as well but to me the wait is worth it.
The few usual dishes that I like are
1. Xiao Long Bao. Their star. Big and Juicy. The skin is not too thick or thin. The soup inside is sweet. The meat is tender.
2. They offer a lot of la mian but my fav will be always La Mian with Fried Pork Cutlets. (Wonder I got it right?) The pork slices are fried but not oily, tender and juicy.
3. Fried rice. Their fried rice are ok with me but I fine them a bit on the oily side at times.
4. Side dishes like chicken in wine, their vegetatrian goose meat, I like, especially the last one. Although it is not the crispy type but it is full of flavour.
5. Dishes. I like their huge kailan. It is really good and crunchy. They got a dish crabmeat with egg white then add a raw egg yolk on top. I like it as well.
6. Dessert. I loved their mango pudding so much that I can have 2 servings at one go. Haa... Nice mango taste with real mango meat inside, mixed with a lot of condense milk. Yum Yum! It is always good to end the meal with one.
Most of the outlets I went to, find that their service are up to par and swift. Friendly most of the times.
Find the place always a bit too cramped and they try to squeeze in as many tables in as possible. Not able to hold a private conversation, but good to see what other people are eating though. Haa....
The place is always like those Hong Kong eateries noisy at time as well.
Overall, I like the food too much and able to overlook all the small little flaws they have. At time, they do have certain credit card promotions, so always ask before ordering.
This is the fast food place that I will go, as it serves only the freshest sandwich around.
Below are the steps when ordering your sandwhich:
1. First you got to choose your bread. They got lots of bread to choose from! I loved Hearty Italian bread! So much so that if they ran out of the bread, I will move off tot he next branch. Of cos there are still others like Italian, Wheat, Parmesan Oregano, Honey Oat.
2. Next you got to choose, you wanna 6 inch or a foot long sandwich!
3. Choose which sub you wanna to go for. There are sandwiches which only have 6 gram of fats or the normal tuna, steak, chicken etc. Tons of choices to choose from. My fav will be Turkey Breast, Ham and Subway Melt.
4. Choose if you wanna to toast ur bread. (Toast it! Melted chesse taste nicer. Hee....)
5. Choose what veges you wanna. They are very generous with their vege. So much so that in the end, you will not see the meat but only vege in the sandwich. I like! Hee....
6. Dressing. Again a few dressing to choose from. Even they match certain dressing to certain sandwich. My fav is always Sweet onion sauce for all sandwiches.
7. Choose if you wanna to upgrade a meal, means to complete your subway sandwich with a drink and either cookies / chips. Go for the cookies. My fav will be white chocolate mac nut cookie!
8. Lastly, enjoy ur sandwich!
For service wise most of the sandwich artists (Yes they are called sandwich artist! Nice right!) are very friendly also. They are also fast with their hands as well
They also got membership card where you can get it from the website FOC! They got promotions and discounts from time to time!
I'm pretty sure everyone knows Killiney Kopitiam. They have a few outlets around Singapore and most people would have been to one or the other.
Anyway this particular one in Siglap is always busy. They are never empty and I wonder why.
Coffee at Killiney's ain't different from the 70 cents one you find at your regular coffeeshop. not to mention it's more expensive here. In fact, it's more diluted if they're really busy. It's a little wierd since they supposedly make each cup as they are ordered.
They also have local foodfare like Mee siam and Nasi Lemak. Taste-wise is pretty average. Nothing special, thus it doesn't quite justify that $1 or $2 more....
I like the toast though, but again it's nothing extraordinary.
Nonetheless this small outlet is always bustling. Only try if you really have no other place to go for breakfast.
Recently they had some renovation and change their image to a more modern look. What did not change is the food, of course good food no need to change.
Even though there is one incident where a customer found a cockroach inside the colesaw (I think), but I think they will be more caution from then now, so it did not stop me from going. Also with the new look, they looked more brighter and cleaner now as well.
Should go and try the few things that I mentioned about especially the corn muffins! Simple great! Soft and fluffy inside yet crispy outside.
The price is average and the sets are worth its price as well. The portions that they give are also huge.
The service there is prompt as well, eve though it is self service. The queue tends to built up when someone is there standing and thinking what side dish he/she wants. I hate it when it happens!
Hmm... I got a bad experience once there. I was waiting to watch a midnight show so decided to hang out there before the show starts.
Once seated, the waiter took the order and at the point they serve the food, he mentioned that they are closing in 10 mins time. So we got to leave in 10 mins time!
How come they cannot say this out when they brought us to our seats or when taking our order? Felt so cheated!
So service bad..... so bad that I dun wanna to back again!
To me this place serves decent pratas but there are other places that serves better pratas.
The last time I went, I went with my colleagues. I ordered one plain prata and one one egg with onion prata. Both came fresh and hot. However I find the plain one tasted a bit plain. The egg with onion one slightly better. The egg and onion is well distributed within the prata itself.
Then I also order a banana prata to taste. It is good. Thin and crispy crust with slices of banana on it! A bit on the sweet side though.
It is open 24 hrs so it is also a good place to go and la kopi if got nothing to do at night.
Ice Cream Chefs ... located along East Coast Road... How could I not visit this place?! It's a quaint little joint located near where Jackie's Bowl used to be.
Initially I'd thought the ice cream would be made on the spot ... haha the bimbo I am...
The ice cream is displayed like normal. There are many flavours to choose from including special ones like Chocolate and Hershey's, Nutella Delight, Mrs Smith, etc. The ice cream is made from real ingredients... not just flavouring. There's real durian meat in the Durian Decadence flavour.
And The really special thing they'd do for you is CUSTOMISE your ice-cream. You can add Loacker's wafers, Oreos... into your ice-cream!! You can even mix flavours...
One large pint will cost $9.50. Two pints was nice for 3 people who loved ice cream.
I think it's worth a try. The quality is pretty good and it's great fun! The ambience is very casual with music from the radio in the background. You can choose to sit inside or outside... total seating area for about 20 people .
This is one site that all book lovers should join. Find books in BookJetty and it'll search through Amazon for details and listing of the books that matches your query. The most exciting thing is the integration of the search of the books in National Library too!! Yes! Our dear NLB! It'll tell you where you'll be able to find the book and whether or not its on loan and if you need the list of libraries with the book, you can even send a SMS to yourself so that you don't have to write it down on paper.
I've not been reading for long long long long time. (Apart from reading in Yebber and the other blogs I read.) But now with BookJetty, I might just pick up reading again! So loving the feature of BookJetty! Go try it to see it yourself!
This is the place where my dog visits when something happen to him. Decided to give this place a try when it is quite near to my home.
The doctors and the nurses there are very professional, good and friendly. They are also very patient in answering all the silly questions that I might asked whenever I visit them as well.
They got quite a huge following, whenever I am there, theyre always seems to have a lot of ppl as well.
