I came to know about this shop via a food hunt show on TV a few years back. It was the first of its kind back then, not sure about now though.
Ever since, they have opened its outlets at Suntec and Tiong Bahru too. But the original outlet still remains its catch, which is the spiciness of its ramen.
For avid lovers of chilli and spicy food, this place is one to explore. While the other 2 outlets offers the same menu, this outlet explores the impossibility (or possibility, whichever way you prefer it) in this territory.
You first choose your choice of noodle, and then you choose the level of spiciness for the noodle. It's as simple as that. You could choose up to 8 levels of spiciness, if you are daring enough or simply just choose level 1-3 if you are alright with spices. The maximum I went was 3, not really what I expected considering I do hold chilli well. Oh almost forgot, the noodles taste really great but the main thing I will still highlight is the spice level. Really innovative and interesting concept to start off with.
Service level is not compromised, was served in a matter of time. Prompt service, I must say. Environment wise, it is pretty serene and tranquil during the night, and unlike the counterparts around them they actually open on weekends as well. Great place for chilling and catching up, you won't have to worry that the place is too noisy to catch up with an old pal.
Liang Court and its surrounding features are basically catered towards the Japanese living in the area. And strategically, Meidi-Ya has chosen the right place to set foot in Singapore.
Smacked in the basement of the mall, Meidi-Ya is a supermarket. Yes it does have all those things that other supermarkets in Singapore have. But what makes it special is the large variety of Japanese products on the shelves.
My trips here are always here for those things obviously not found in the common supermarkets. The Japanese products, especially the sweets, frozen food (My favourite Unagi and Fish Cakes), snacks, condiments and many more.
Don't bother coming here to do grocery shopping as the prices here are a tad higher than what is normally sold in other supermarkets, higher than Cold Storage in fact.
You will find yourself surrounded by Japanese when you are in Meidi-Ya. Many Japanese living in Singapore come here regularly for their hunt for their beloved home groomed produce.
Even a section is set aside in the middle of the supermarket for the kids to enjoy a show of Doraemon while the parents are busy doing grocery shopping. A great concept, considering kids can be a hassle to bring along at times.
Make your way here for a refreshing look of the Japanese way of life. Friends and fellows that love Japanese products, bring them here. I reckon they will be wowed by the wide selections in there!
An outlet that is smaller in area, make no mistake that it is a branch of the Provence Bakery in Holland Village.
The very first time I passed by the shop, I didn't pay attention to it till I glanced and saw the wassant on sale. That's when I realised it was their branch outlet.
The bread variety is relatively lesser than the original outlet. But you can still find the most popular item here, the wassant. Other choices includes the tea cakes and pon. But I still prefer the wassant.
I would still go back to Holland Village for those other varieties that aren't sold here in this small branch, but I will still come here to grab the wassants. Saves me the trouble to go over to Holland Village.
I had no clue that this place existed till I received this voucher for usage at this restaurant. I knew of this new extension, but it does not strike my mind that this particular restaurant lays there.
Decided to make use of the voucher, but eventually I regretted my decision. This would be my 1st review which scores only 1 star. Here’s why!
The location of the restaurant is not ideal at all. I could frankly say it is not visible to me and I will not know there was such a shop till I knew of it because of the voucher. There wasn’t any great view either; all you could overlook from the windows are rows of cars parked in the carpark. Not a great sight to behold.
The service staffs are all Chinese. Other than the chefs, the rest of them and the restaurant supervisor that took our order are all Chinese. One of the staffs could not understand what I said so the supervisor had to intervene. I felt that there could have been more Singaporeans employed on hand to handle sticky situation. The restaurant is so budget that they can’t even employ a local to do the job, not even on part-time basis.
They have this grilled charcoal concept whereby you could grill your own Yakitori. But to my disgust, they told me I have to make a reservation in order to do so. I find the concept interesting, but it just puts me off and really dissapointed. The guy at the other table also faced the same reply, and he was simply dumbfounded just like I do. He made a fuss out of it but still ended up like us, eventually having the chef to do the cooking for us.
The foods are not really great at all. I get sick chomping on the chewy Bacon Enoki, while the Salmon was below par. The Tiger Prawn was dry while the Chicken Skin was quite bad. I’m not joking here, but I think the best choice among all is the corn.
The voucher could only be utilised upon clocking $50 so we ordered a few more items. Ended up compounding my miseries instead. The Ramen was simply, ORDINARY! The Cha Soba and Foie Gras tasted pretty fair, while I could count myself lucky the Miso Soup was somewhat like the corn.
Ok now what is great? Nothing much except than complimenting the prompt service they provided our table due to the numbers in the restaurant (you get what I mean). Being more attentive, I also observed the difference in greeting. Upon entering, we were greeted in Japanese. It is a different case upon leaving as we were greeted in English instead. There was no proper standard or protocol that was followed. But it does not really matter at this point anymore.
Would I ever come back to patronise the restaurant? NO! Even if it was offered for free, I would not ill-treat my taste buds. Just my two-cent worth, whilst apologies for my long winded review of this 1 star rated restaurant.
For many, patronising Vivocity can be for various reasons such as shopping, dining and indulgence. But for me, Vivocity is pretty near my home so I would rather consider it a heartland mall in my own opinion.
So it is no wonder that I often frequent here for movies. There are many reviews already so I shall review it based on my honest opinions.
The cinema is often packed till the brim especially on weekends and the normal advice would be for users to make their bookings online before heading here to avoid the long queue or sold out situation.
Many plasma screens are available above and around the counter for easy access to movie sessions and availability. You would count yourself lucky if the movie you are planning to catch is shown in GV Max. The screen is huge and provides for greater viewing pleasure.
And obviously being a new cinema, it would naturally be clean. Sidetrack for a bit, the Gold Class cinema is really brilliant. It offers great service and really great movie going experience. I just wonder, why can't such good service be emphasized at the normal cinema area as well? But I am not saying the service is not up to standard. The other time I requested to keep my cake cool using their fridge, and they kindly agreed to do so.
Many would agree that the cinema has ample leg space for patrons. This would help alleviate the unpleasant ones who come in late, and often we have to shift from our already comfortable position to let them pass through. The sound systems are not a let down, unlike those bad ones which sounds muffled.
But I shall say that this place is pretty fair and square for the users. No big issues on my side of the field, but my personal preference would still be The Cathay.
