ShopLah is an online shopping webby for the ladies.
It boasts fashionable apparel in different styles to suit the masses.
Personally in terms of variety, it only exists in the "Tops" and the "Dresses" section. There is a grand total of 4 pants. About the same for skirts section too. Wouldn't count very much in terms of variety.
However for tops and dresses, I cannot deny that that is a wide range. There are girlie types and the elegant ones too. There are also modern chic plain ones but not many.
Prices are pretty low and are already inclusive of handling costs so that's good.
The downside would be that I recently emailed an enquiry to the team concerning an order which I was going to submit. The reply from them was quite curt and not as serviceable as I expected. No explanation was given nor apologies for not being able to meet my request. Although it's not their fault that my request cannot be met but I think it's basic courtesy on a seller's part to apologise for any inconvenience he may cause a buyer or a potential customer...
But all in all, not too bad a website I might say. I would prefer to see more bottoms though.
Went to have dinner at this outlet this evening. Sadly, we went home w/o any food... just liquid...
Here's the story why.... We placed our order with the waitress - lobster bisque, prawn salad and bread pudding for dessert. (The bread pudding was our reason for being there.)
After checking with the kitchen, the waitress came back to inform us that the bread pudding was sold out. Disappointed, but we decided to stay for the soup and the salad.
Our table, no. 13, was next to the kitchen and we have see every order that came out. There were a couple of orders before us (all main courses) so it took quite a while for our simple soup to arrive. (45 mins to be exact. cos we were in a rush so I was eyeing my watch the entire wait.)
We drank our soup and thought our salad will come soon... however, after 10 mins, we still didn't see anything served. Then the waitress came and asked if we can change our order cause the kitchen ran out of prawns!!! WHAT?!?!?! After so long than they realised they've ran out of prawns??? We were very upset. We told her to cancel our order. When I asked for a pen from the waitress to fill up the customers feedback form, than the manager started to panic. He checked with the kitchen, and they started searching for prawns around the kitchen!
Well, it's either the kitchen staff were lazy or they didn't bother to check, cos the manager came back while I'm already 2/3 through writing my feedback on the form, saying that the can serve the prawn salad if we still want it as they've found prawns in their kitchen store!... funny isn't it?
Ramen! My favourite noodles! And so great to have it Halal certified! So everyone can enjoy their yummy and spicy ramen!
My favourite must be their ultra spicy ramen soup base! Always makes me sweat and my nose blocked when I drink it. But its just super shiok! And when I'm hungry, I'll make it a big bowl (extra ramen) in my order.
And his favourite is the dry ramen. For those who don't like soupy noodles, their dry ramen is very nice too! Give their Tom Yam Dry Ramen a try. You'll sure want to go back for more!
Ramen Ten is also available at Jubilee AMK, and I'm sure few more places... look out for their red interior and big green signboard spelt out Ramen Ten!
Give it a try! And share what you like/ don't like about Ramen Ten!

I was there last Saturday with my girlfriends. I've been wanting to check out any one of the boardgames cafe in Singapore for the longest time! But never had the chance till last Saturday. And now, I think I'm hooked!! Thanks to my friend!
Pitstop Cafe is a homely and friendly boardgame cafe. Located on the 3rd level of 14B Circular Road (within clark quay), players first challenge was to climb that scary looking stairs leading up to the cafe. (I'm afraid of stairs you see... actually its not that scary lah!)
You'll be welcomed by this unique looking door that most people will find it rather familiar (aka the push and pull toilet door) and upon entering, you'll see the entire wall filled with photos and graffiti! Great place for those who loves doodling on walls and photos! (Please keep to you own little space on the wall and photos only.)
Free-flow of sky juice (aka plain water) in cute little pitchers. And I love love the cheese balls! But only got 8 pieces, which were shared among the 5 of us... next time I go (which is on Saturday!) I'll sure buy a whole plate for my own consumption! Wahahaha!!
People at Pitstop Cafe are very friendly, fun and helpful. Need help with the games, just raise your hands and they'll come to you! (But pls understand that there's only couple of them and so many guests, so give them a little time to attend to you ya.)
This is a great place to hangout with your friends and family! I'm definetly going to visit them very often for lots of fun and games and food!
Mybeadpoint is a online store selling DIY jewellery making supplies.
Tabitha the owner of this shop used to sell her stuff on Yahoo Auctions but moved to this website some time back.
She has quite an array of stuff but not comparable to the shops in Chinatown of cause. But what she can provide is personalised service. She would email you with information that you need like whether her product is suitable for a certain project etc. And she has Beads Sales at her home. Just register at her website and she will email you updates of some sales where you can go to her condo in Simei to view and buy the items at discounts. She even has books for you to view and you have copies of the pages you like.
The best service she provides would be that if you have a design which you don't know how to do, just let her have it and she'll figure it out then teach you! That's one service you will not get at the stores outside.
The only drawback is that she sells in smaller quantities and so it might be a little pricier than if you buy wholesale. Also the website is a little laggy at times.
Din Tai Fung at Tampines Mall had the initial long queues... They still have them but Saturday dinnertimes only.
I've been here twice but I seriously don't know why I went the second time after the first experience.
After hearing so much about this place from my colleagues, my friends and I head down to the place. It was a weekday afternoon so it was quite empty. We had some fried rice, the widely acclaimed crystal buns and the crystal buns with crabmeat.
The fried rice was a little oily but tasted normal. The crystal buns are alright too, but a tad too flimsy so we couldn't drink that much soup cos it spilled. The highlight was the crabmeat ones. There were 10 and I ate 2.... both had crab shells. Well if you want to think positively, they are pretty fresh in that sense... but seriously when you only eat 2 out of 10 and both have your teeth crunching down on the shells? BLAH. And the waitress didn't do anything when we told her about it.
The second time I went it was with my family. We ordered some crystal buns and some noodles and rice. All went fine. One crystal bun was already broken when it arrived but they changed it immediately. So that was ok.
They don't have much variety. And the crystal buns are the only exceptional items. If the crab shell incident didn't happen I'll probably give it 4 stars.
Parking can be a headache at Tampines Mall though.
Kenny Rogers is the place we usually dine when we're at Suntec or Marina area. Cause we just love their sides!
Usual orders would be the quarter chicken with 2 sides and the BBQ Chicken pita with 2 sides.
Used to love their corn muffins but think I've grown out of it. *lol*
And our usual 4 sides cause they are just too good to resists... Macaroni cheese, long beans, pasta salad and either the boiled corn or the steamed cauliflower.
Overall a nice place for dinner.
(Now I'm craving for their Macaroni cheese! -________-")
Updated 21 Aug 2007 The place looks so bright and cheerful and welcoming now! Kenny Rogers has changed their image and I'm loving it! Go check it out!
The Centr@l Mall is a new shopping mall and not every shop is ready for business just yet. In my opinion, its not quite a mall for shoppers who wants to shop around and just enjoy a shopping experience kind of place.
However if you're looking for good food, that's one place you can try. Many nice places to eat at the "backside" or "otherside" of the mall, which is pretty hidden to me and my friend when we were there the first time. I only discovered them the second time I was there. Maybe due to the design of the building structure. At once glance, from the entrance via the bus-stop/mrt station, the mall seems pretty sad. (You'll see only a few shops , the rest are kind of "hidden" at the back of these front shops.)
One shop which I thought was worth mentioning here will be Gobi. Their cute little cakes aka chocolates are the perfect gift for the sweet tooth girlfriend. They can be located at Level 1, opp Starbucks. (Web: http://www.gobi.com.sg/)

Newly set-up place for Yogurt goers. They have quite a wide variety of flavors to choose from.
Tried the mango flavor yogurt last week. It was nice. But not fantastic.
Lots more room for improvement for them I have to say.
They also have another outlet at Downtown East (opposit Pizza Hut). Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Personally, I would probably give it a miss the next time.
