Happened to be around Kallang couple weeks ago and we went to check out the totally revamped Leisure Park.
The last image I had of that place was run down and sleezy. Before the close for renovation, I remember going there for BK and buying cheap stickers at push carts around the first level. There was also this game arcade where I used to waste my time at while waiting for fireworks on NDP day.
Now, the place looks so much brighter and bigger. However there were many empty shops still when I went. Based on my memory, there was a Subway, a foodcourt (filled with aunties and uncles), a toy collector shop, a pet shop (with no pets), some fashion stores, a game shop and few gift shops open. Think there's also a cold storage at the basement if I'm not wrong. (I'm old... memory's failing me...)
Guess this place is not going to be that happening as yet. Unless there's some event at the stadiums. But once the train starts its service there, crowd might just start picking up.
I wouldn't suggest you to choose this place for a window shopping mall for now. Give it a couple more months. Hope more shops will be opened. And seems like a cinema or sort might also be opening there. (Top level wasn't accessible yet when I was there.)
Giving it a 2/5 for now. Will review again when I revisit them later next year.
After a whole day at VivoCity, it was time for dinner, and as expected, everywhere was packed with hungry people. And finally settled at The Mussel Guys as there wasn't any queue! But no queue doesn't been no good food.
The place was packed inside with people talking and children crying. Not quite the place to go for a romantic Xmas dinner. Can pass as a clean and comfortable place for friends to gather and enjoy fresh mussels.
We ordered Sauteed Mushrooms, Steamed Mussels (350g), Sausage Pasta and drinks.
The Sauteed Mushrooms, $4.50, was value for money. Serving was quite big for the price and the taste was just right. But if the mushrooms were not sliced that thinly, the taste would have been better.
Steamed Mussels, $15.90, with white wine and garlic arrived in their mussel pot, which you can purchase home at $180 . The mussels were fresh and there wasn't any fishy taste. At first we wanted to order the creamy or tomato base mussels as we were afraid that it'll taste fishy. But it didn't. Fresh and some were almost crunchy when bitten into. The white wine and garlic blended well with the mussels. I wouldn't say the taste was fantastics as I'd better ones before. But with the price, its still considered value for money.
I shan't comment much on the chicken Sausage Pasta, $12.90. I'll not order this again. It's not even average imo. Pay slightly more for another pot of mussels!
I'll go back there if I crave for mussels. Its value for money.
A dinner with my ex colleagues and they had to bring me to a ulu place for dinner, out of all places. That is what I thought but the then place is within walking distance (5 mins) from Kallang MRT station.
The restaurant got air con and open air eating places. It was packed to brim. I started to have expectations for this place alr!
The waitress was good and recommended some of the dishes to us including their signatures CRABS!
So we ordered:
1. Fried Rice: It was pretty good on its own and very fragrant as well.
2. Signautre Tofu: This one is jz 2 big pcs of tofu with minced meat on them. Nothing special. Taste good though. Hee...
3. Mango Fried Fish: This is a special fried and crispy fish with sweet and sour sauce with thick slices of mango. I loved this dish!
4. Sambal kangkong: Normal. Hee...
We got 2 crabs and done in 2 different ways. Thei signature dishes! I have to say that I loved both dishes!
5. Chili Crab: The crab is freaking big and fresh. The meat jz slide off from the shell without much effort. The chili sauce is so good on its own and not really very hot as well. Use the man tuo to dip into the sauce is simply heaven!
6. Butter Salted Egg Crab: This is a special one. Nvr tasted it before. Surprised by the taste as the salted egg did not turn out to be really salted yet about to bring the tast of the butter crab to a higher level! Unqiue.
The service of the place is very good and prompt. They will served all the dishes less the crabs, after we are more or less done with the dishes, the crabs will appear in front of us. Well to me, this is good, after all eating crabs can be a bit of mess.
The price is also reasonable, coming to about $200 plus with drinks.
I found a new place from crabs and think will be going back more often!
Was invited for a dinner at Sketches last night. Never really wanted to try this place out, so I didn't know what to expect from this place. The first impression I got when I stepped in was the smell from the kitchen. It's open concept kitchen is right smack in the center of the restaurant. And the smell will get stuck to your clothes and hair after you're done dining. Hence not recommended if you're not heading home after meal at Sketches. Alternatively, try to sit outside away from the Kitchen. It might help reduce the lingering "Food court" after smell on you.
As we were late, the menu was cleared from the table as others had already ordered. We attempted couple of time to get someone to give us a menu, and only after thrice before we caught a waitress. (All of them seemed to be busy clustering somewhere behind the restaurant...)
We were presented 2 different menu. One with listing of all ala carte orders and the other one which looks like a giant notepad where you have boxes to tick and create your own "Designer" pasta. My bf choice to go for the pasta and I ordered the wild mushroom pizza.
First the pasta came, and after "digging" through the plate, we discovered that they got our order wrong. We choice 2 different pasta but they only used one. We told the waitress and she cleared the plate and got the kitchen to remake for us. (Yes we saw her dumping the entire plate of pasta into the bin when she walked back to the kitchen. Advantage of an open concept kitchen for customers.)
The right combination of pasta arrived shortly. The taste was pretty good. And the serving for the small size is already quite filling. Unless you're super hungry or sharing with friends, I'll not recommend you to tick the bigger servings.
They took quite a long time to serve my mushroom pizza. When it finally arrived, I was disappointed. The pizza was alittle too tough on the dough and the shrooms on it were tasteless. The cheese wasn't well spread and I was only able to taste the cheese on few slices of the entire pizza. The rest were just covered with few pieces of sliced shrooms. I had to whack quite abit of shredded cheese and tabasco sauce on the pizza to make it taste slightly better.
Overall the place was quite nice, pricing was reasonable. I'll probably go back for their pasta since I can choose what I want in it and I'll totally avoid the pizzas.
Decided to watch Golden Compass on a weekday in Gold Class to pamper ourselves for once. Haa....
Surprised to see that it is almost fully booked on a weekday afternoon. Hmm... Seem like a lot of ppl really dun mind spending money for comfort. Haa...
Once in, we are greeted by very polite servers. There is a lounge for us to relax while waiting for our movie to start. The menu is very impressive as well where we can order set meals to snacks to even beer or while while watching the movies. Haa...
Once we are urshered to our seats, we are greeted by big plush red sofa chairs, with a blanket on the sides. The seats are very comfortable and with a push on the side button, the seat will slowly move into a flat bed position. So you can adjust to whatever position that you are comfortable with.
There is a small table in between the seats where you can place your snacks or food. There is a button on the table where you can press for service.
As there is only like 24 seats in the cinema, the space is really big and no way the person in front can block you. The screen is a wide large screen that fills the length of the room.
Paying $25 per ticket ($30 for weekends), is consider a luxruy to me. However if the movie is 2.5 hrs or even longer, I think the money is worth spending. At times, they will have special promotion for with food tied in with the movie and I think that is much more worth it.
What a way to pamper a movie lover like myself. Hee.....
So we changed before we started and the locker was well equiped with a robe, shorts, slippers and towels.
Before we started, we were served some tea, before we start our Jacuzzi. Since it was outdoor and it was raining, the hot Jacuzzi was a good welcome. Spent about 40 mins in it. We were given fresh towels to dry ourselves.
After which, we were urshered to our respective steamrooms.
While waiting for the scrubs, we were urshered into a holding area, where we can sit down and relax, with hot tea provided.
For our body scrubs, we chose sugar scrub with lavender scent. We were urshered into a room with smoothing music playing at the same time. While lying on the bed, they "forcefully" scrub the lavender scent sugar crystals on us. It is not painful but a little ticklish. Hee.... After which we were asked to shower off. Our bodies were smelling great after it.
After another cup of hot tea, we started our massage. I got the Traditional Indonesian Massage while my partner got Indulgent Aroma Massage. For mine, it was done in a good and forceful way. It did relax all my tensed muscles. The whole massage was smooth and relaxing. The massuer also used enough force as well.
After another quick shower, we lazed around with another hot cup of tea, relaxing.
The whole experience was very good and it was done in a professional way as well. It seems that we have the whole palce to us as there is no other people at the same time. This was great as we dun feel like rush to complete our package.
In fact the whole experience was so good that we signed up for another 3 more couple packages. Since the spa is located in Safra, the rpcie is also cheaper than those in town area or in hotels. So looking forward to our next spa experience. For those who have not tried it, should do so quick!
Was at a blogger event last night at Essential Brew. The place was cosy and nice. I like the way they did up the upper deck. But for those with smelly feet, you might want to stay on the lower deck. (Cos you need to remove your shoes if you dine at the upper floor.) And ladies in super mini skirt, please avoid too. Or bring a jacket. :)
I forgot to take a look at the menu, was busy taking photos of it but didn't flip it open.
I had the Cajun Dory and I enjoyed it. (Although it was already cold when I ate it.) The fish was still crispy outside and the softness inside is nice. There was no fishy smell and the cajun blended well with the fish. The rice that came with it was something unique. It looked like curry sauce at first but it was sweet. I lovee it so much I cleared off the entire plate! The rice has a sauce over it which tasted like Oolong tea. It gives a refreshing feeling.
The desserts were served complimentary. For my table it was a brownie like cake with ice-cream. It doesn't taste like brownie so I'm calling it chocolate cake. This one I would probably give it a miss as it was not to my liking.
Now that I've got their discount card, I'll most probably be going back when I have time to travel all the way to Holland Village. I want to try their other dishes! The Crispy Lemongrass Chicken and the Honey Mastard Chicken looks nice too.
After reading the recent reviews of sushi my craving for some brought me to this new branch at AMK today.
To me, sushi are all about the same. The element that separates the good and the average ones is the freshness and the rice grain used for the sushi. And Suki Sushi is just an average and at times below average kind of sushi.
But for the price of 99cents, who cares if the rice used is top notch or not. As long as the salmon and tako is fresh and edible, I'm good.
Decor of the place is simple and Jap like. If I didn't see wrongly, all the seats are around the belt. This is good cos everyone will be able to help themselves to the cheap sushi on the belt. The kitchen is right in the center of the belt and there's a little table on the same level as the belt, slightly above the dining table. This is where they'll place the food you ordered through the waiters. Great idea as this allow the waiters to concentrate on taking orders and clearing the plastic covers from the table. Serving is done by the kitchen helpers.
Am giving it a 4/5 cos of the value for money color plates at 99cents. Will surely go back for more. Maybe a Yebber Suki Sushi outing one day? Haha!
My friend recommended us to this place since we have no idea where to eat.
This cafe is well hidden and it is in between two small cafes as well. The cafe is small, very small. The tables are spilled out onto the walkway as well. There was a small queue going on. Seem like the place is really popular!
We were shown to our table fast. Simple table and chair, nothing fanciful about. The menu is simple with no pics. The got set meals which consist of Soup, Main (Pasta), Dessert and Drink. Set dinner cost $15.20 nett.
The mains mainly consist of pasta dishes, about 20 to choose form but no pics. In the end I ordered Teriyaki Chicken Meatball Pasta. It was ok, do quite like the meatball though.
The soup, drink as normal and the dessert nothing to wow about.
The service is a bit slow as I think only 1 manager and 2 waiters doing the serving, cleaning and ushering at the same time. Everything have to wait, even to top out water. When we asked for our desserts, only 2 came out and waited for the 3rd one, then to realised that they actually forgotten about it.
I start to wonder y so many ppl started to queue up as the food is passable, and to say that the place is quite ulu as well.
Well in the end I concluded that it is cheap and the portions are quite big. There is no service charge or GST which can be quite a big draw as well.
Along this stretch of road there is a number of Zhong Qing steamboat places, considered quite cheap as well and always attracted a crowd. This place charges each person $13.80. Cash payment only.
So my friend decided to make our dinner there and make a reservation. The place is divided into 2 floors, 1st floor no air con and 2nd floor air con and for bigger groups as well.
They have an interesting concept there. Once they show you to the table, they will ask you what soup base you want and you can start to collect you plates, spoons, food etc. In the end, with everything ready, then we found out that there are no chopsticks. After checking with them, we found out that we need to pay at the counter in exchange for dispoable chopsticks. Haa.... Interesting right?
They have a wide variety of food and quite a lot as well, from vege to seafood to meat etc. Their seafood are quite fresh too, from crabs to all the shells. The meat came thinly sliced which I like it for steamboat.
Their soup base are ok, I think it is the type that used maggi cubes to get the flavour.
For drinks, this places charges separately. Heard from my friend, there is another one along the stretch that one price person include drinks as well.
Service one still ok. One incident happen as we are sitting next to a small little staircase, the waitress was carrying a pot of hot soup going to a table and fell flat on the staircase, the hot soup did get to us, however the staff there did not even check if we are ok a not. So much for customer service then.
Ask me if I am going back again? Hmm... I think I will give the rest of the places along the same stretch a try before deciding.

Went for my 1st Spa experience @ The Rainforest Spa. When 1st step in, the whole place gave a very calming and peaceful effect.
Since it is our 1st time there, the reception was patient to explain our package to us. Our package includes of

2. Body Scrub
3. Massage
