Jalan Kayu used to be my dinner place after work couple years back. It was near my work place and near my home. Although there are quite a number of food places along Jalan Kayu, Cafeela is the one that we frequent often. So often that the uncle working there recognises us.
They've recently expanded and now has an air-con dining area too. Price and food still the same. Just that the menu in the air-con place is newer and has more seafood stuff as compared to their normal menu. This dining area is also a good place to host mini dinner party.
My usual orders at Cafeela includes their Pataya Fried Rice (Rate 4/5), Salted Fish Fried Rice (Rate 3/5), Curry Fish Head (Rate 3.5/5), Fried Beef Kuay Teow (4/5), Pratas (Rate 3.5/5, I prefer this as compared to the one down the road.) and Chicken Wings with Sambal (Rate 4.5/5). The wings aren't those crispy kind, but I like the marinating and the sambal just makes it more yummy! And now they serve satays too! Quite nice also. Can try. But you got to wait for quite a while during dinner time.
Overall, the food is not bad. Staff are mostly friendly, but do expect to wait for the food (sometimes even the drinks) during weekends dinner hours.
Nice place to chill too after midnight. If you like chilling with Tek Terik and Milo Dinosaur. =)
This is one of my favorite Prata place. Last time when I used to go jog at the reservoir (can't remember is it upper or lower pierce, but that's not important lah), The Prata Place is where I will go for dinner. Run and then eat prata! Ha!
But who can resists their wide variety of pratas and the thin and crispy prata! My favorite is the Egg and Mushroom Prata, Chocolate Prata and their Mushroom Masala Thosai. I've tried their other food too, but they aren't that fantastic. So I go there solely for their crispy pratas.
If you prefer the traditional non-crispy prata, I suggest you try their Thosai. Cos you might not enjoy the crispy prata lah.
A small Swiss resturant by the beach. Location wise is good as there are many parking lots and its free. (Carpark E is paid parking) So you don't have to worry about the parking lady while you chill out with your friends.
Atmosphere wise, if you go in the evening, and if the wind is in your favor, then ya, very nice place to chill out. If not, you can still request for the fan to be turned on for you outdoor, there are two big fans at the outdoor dinning area.
As for the food, well, serving is generous but the taste is not strong. Perhaps that's how Swiss food should be, not sure about it. It's not bland, but personally I prefer a much stronger taste and favor when comes to food.
Their signature dish is the cheese fondue, perhaps can try that out if I happen to be there again.
There were couple of shops selling Tau Sar Piah along Balestier Road. When we drove past these shops, the was no queue at these stalls. So I didn't expect to see a queue when I'm at my destination. But to my surprise, the queue was pretty long at 603 Tau Sar Piah. It seems to be very popular among the young and old.
While queuing I was always peeping to see if there's still Tau Sar Piah left for me when it's my turn. And true enough, by the time I reach the counter, there were only 2 salted ones left. (So sad. I love salted ones.)
The Tau Sar Piah is soft and fluffy. It was still warm when I bought them. (Fresh from the oven!) I couldn't resist so I had them in the car. Took couple of photos too. Uploaded here for everyone to see. As you can see, the fillings is packed full and the skin is thin and yummy!
603 Tau Sar Piah is worth a try! I was told weekday queue is shorter and more variety will be available at any one time. They're open till 6.30pm. Go try lah!
Having a sweet tooth or craving for a sweet meal? Try Macaron. You'll sure be delighted to know that you can have an entire dinner set that'll sure satisfy even the sweetest tooth!
Dine in a unique forest that's free from bugs and mud. This hip dining place gives you a feel of the great outdoor but in a cool and comfortable atmosphere.
Set dinner starts from $38/pax. But if you can afford to I say go for the full package at $80/pax.
Its good to be an Ikea member. You not only get to accumulate points to redeem for vouchers for your furnishing needs, you get free coffee/tea too! I would suggest people staying around Tampines to start a shopping list of items from Ikea now, and one you reach $300 total, go buy those stuff and apply for the Ikea card!
This new outlet allows more people to enjoy their free flow of coffee/tea and good food at any one time. However, sad to say, they do not have wifi there. Else it'll sure attract more people to go. And if they bring down their power switch to allow public access, wow! that'll be too good to be true. (But guess this they'll probably have to start charing $3 for a cup of free flow coffee/tea. Haha!)
But still, a good place to go for lunch/dinner. Especially if you're working/staying around the area.
This little shop which used to be at Anchorpoint has now moved to a bigger and better unit at VivoCity!
Offering a number of different art and craft workshops for the young and old. Learn to create pretty layouts and cards from scrapbooking materials and tools.
Friendly husband and wife team that serves every customer that walks in with warm smile and are always willing to give a helping hand when you need one.
Hope they'll bring in new brands that's not available locally for the scrappers here in Singapore.
If you've not visited GV Vivo, then you better go give it a try. But let me warn you first, after visiting GV Vivo, you might not want to watch movie anywhere else!
Ever since I stepped foot at GV Vivo and caught a movie in the largest theater, GV Max, I'm so in love with the place that I insists on going to GV Vivo for all my movies! (But of course, I still will give the new cinemas a try.)
The seats are comfortable and leg room is so much more spacious than the other GVs. I think GV should start renovating the other cinemas too and make it as good as the Vivo one.
But then again, once GV Vivo is old, and if GV doesn't maintain the cinemas regularly, it'll one day become smelly and worn out too. So go try the cinema out if you've not already done so. Before it starts wearing out... tsk tsk.
Love fishballs? Love liver? Love lean pork? This fishball noodle stall is one that you cannot miss when you're around Toa Payoh area! Located opposite the JTC factor, this stall operates from morning 7am to noon 2pm only. (Sometimes they close as early as 1pm when they're sold out!)
Its hard to find $2.50 fishball noodles these days. But they stay true to their loyal customers who have been with them for many years. You can also upsize your order to $3 or more if you want more noodles and fishball.
Their fishballs are bouncy and tender. The noodles is cooked to the right tenderness that'll make you want more. Their self-created chilli is one that I cannot resists! You can ask for more if you think you can take it extra spicy.
Their other famous dish is the Fried Kway Teow. Appeared once on the chinese newspaper. This created quite a havoc for this stall as people travelled all the way from the West just to give this Fried Kway Teow a try.
As the name suggest, Relax Room is the place to let out all the tension from a day of hard work. Their experience masseurs are skillful and tactful. They seem to know exactly where you need more TLC and attention.
A visit to the Relax Room is where everyone should end their day at. (at least once a week)
