    On 9th of February 2008, which is the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, some coffeeshops have yet to open for business. So hubby and I decided to make our way down to eat at Vivocity.

    We were walking round, looking for places we've never ate at. Wanted to try new stuffs on the 3rd day on Chinese new year. :)

    We walked by this Japanese Restaurant call Tajimaya Yakiniku. Looked at what they have, Japanese charcoal grill . Seems nice, so we decide to try them out. :)

    When we walked in, there weren't many customer. A young man who looks like the manager served us. We sat at this huge table with lots of seat and holes in the table to put hot coals.

    As we walked to our seat, I felt cold and use my hands to rub my arms, the guy immediately went and adjust the air condition for us. He mention that he only adjust it a little higher because when the hot coals and food comes, it'll be a little warmer. :) Plus point here.

    The staffs took quite sometime to serve the coals and food, but they were apologetic and polite.

    I can't remember what we ordered but it's all beef and 1 plate of mushroom. I love the mushroom but I guess Japanese beef grillings probably not my thing. :p Hubby love the beef though. :)

    I don't remember how much hubby paid in total, but it's definitely more than 100 . Which I thought it's far too expensive. :p

       Burger   BK’s Onion Ring   Carl’s Jr’s Onion Ring 2006   Carl’s Jr’s Onion Ring 2008
    I love Carls Jr.

    Everytime hubby and I pass-by Carls Jr (vivocity branch) and smell the onion rings. I wouldn't be able to stop thinking of eating their onion rings.

    They served the best onion rings I've had thus far and I also love their crisscut fries!

    They have really big burgers and onion rings.

    I believe that most people don't trust my words when I say Carl's Jr. serves burgers about the size of my face!

    (Picture 1)
    This is the smaller version of the burger darling ordered that time. (this one no cheese and don't know what else.) & it's already the size of his hand.

    His hand size is about the size of my face.


    (Picture 2)
    This is how tiny a BK onion ring looks like on my hand.

    (Picture 3)
    This picture shows a Carl's Jr onion ring the size of my palm in 2006.

    (Picture 4)
    This picture shows a Carl's Jr onion ring bigger than the size of my palm in 2008.

      After lots of walking and shopping around Vivocity, I was super thirsty already.


      Then hubby and I pass-by this Dragon Brand's Shop and I notice that they have cooler and pretty chairs inside. So I went closer to check them out.


      It's a Bird's Nest Bar!!! A quick look at their price list. Not expensive loh! I used to think Bird's Nest very very expensive one (SGD300-400) leh. :p


      Hubby treated us to one bowl each (SGD8plus). Their cup/bowl is actually heart shaped. So you can actually choose not to use spoon and just drink straight from the cup!

      The Bird's Nest is really cooling and you can see the bird's nest. Unlike some places, sell more expensive and more water than Bird's Nest.

      They have this Bird's Nest Bar Loyalty Club, when you order 1 bowl, you get 1 stamp and when you collected 10 stamps, you can redeem 1 free bowl of Bird's Nest!

      Hubby and I had always wanted to try the food at this Kim Gary Cafe, after countless times of seeing super duper long queues outside this cafe? Restaurant?

      On 6th April 2008, Hubby and I decide to make a trip to vivocity to try their food.


      We were a little early and there wasn't many people in the shop. We got a seat there's near the window, but I wanted this seat in the corner that looks very comfortable and cozy. The waiter told us that the table is reserved for their staffs to have their lunch.



      Anyway, to cut this review short, hubby and I didn't like our food. The food we ordered and had don't seems to "justify" the queues we saw.

      The noodle I had smells really really nice (the onions) but really didn't taste as good as it smells. I ate less than half of it. The meat's a little too tough (overcooked or something), my drink is a little too sweet, even the mini drumsticks thingy was only average.

      The only item hubby liked, was his Iced Yuan Yang.
      Maybe we ordered the wrong stuffs, will try them again when I'm in better mood.


      I have to rant about their service! After we're done with our food, we wanted to go to their counter to pay, but when we stand up, they came to us and say they'll bring us our bill. So we sat and waited for the bill. Waited for quite a while before the bill came. Hubby gave this waitress his credit card to pay for our bill and she went and never came back!!! We waited about 10mins and decide to ask another staff for our bill. We waited another 1-2mins before darling's bill came back to us. -.-

      Next time I'm so gonna use the exact amount so I don't have to wait for the change or cards.

        First night of Chinese New Year 2008, I decided to give hubby and myself a little treat. I manage to book 2 gold class tickets at SGD30.00 each for "CJ7" and right after that movie, "Kungfu Dunk" SGD10.00 each ticket in the normal rooms.


        We sat around in this lounge while waiting for the show to start. Since we have yet to have dinner, hubby decide to order some food. Which we love yet regret later. Read on to find out why. :)


        My heart almost skipped a beat when we were in the theater. The armchairs are like so huge!!! I sat down and pulled the blanket provided, which is placed at the side of the armchair. While I spread out the blanket, hubby started playing with the buttons... located at the side of the armchair. (What other buttons were you thinking??)


        I know by now you think we both are such mountain turtles. But no ones else was there yet, so we were like in our own world kind of thing. :P


        The buttons allow you to adjust the seat according to how you like. You can even lie down to watch the movie if you like. No worries, even if you're lying down, you wouldn't be blocked by anyone!!! The armchair was like a bed to me. so big, so comfortable. :)


        Now, to talk about the food...
        Hubby and I love the food! but.. We either ordered too much or their portions are too huge! :p We couldn't finish our food loh.


        Right after the movie, we went straight to the normal room to catch "Kongfu Dunk". Suddenly the seats all looks so small. lols. But seriously, for the amount of comfort, SGD30.00 per ticket is really worth it! :)
