The shop sells Chinchillas, rabbits and hamsters... and all things related to them. They have a large variety of things for small animals because they specialize in them.
I love it for its wide variety. Jevon and Lifan are always available to dispense advice on your pets. They're very helpful indeed. The place is cosy looking and you can see that they try to entertain the pets a little and not treat them as lifeless commercial products. They take good care of the animals there so it's pretty safe to buy from them.
There's also free delivery if you spend more than $50, which is quite a low limit.
The slight downside is that they aren't very cheap. But I guess for the free advice... it's ok.
The ambience was ok, pretty much like the other cafes. The pricing seems fine on the menu. (but did not seem so fine later).
Firstly, after we ordered, I asked for plain water and the server nodded. After a while, no water came so I raised my hand to remind. It was only then the other server informed me that iced water was not served (FOC) at this cafe. I'm not angry that water is not served (many places don't.) but I'm pissed at being made to look like a cheapo who keeps asking for free water.
Next the food that came looked ok. I took the ketuchup on the table and started to tilt it. Nothing came out. This was one of the situations where it's hard to get the sauce out from new bottles.... So we tried for a while but to no avail. SO we asked for another bottle after explaining the situation. The server gave us another one.... WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! I think it would have took just a little common sense to TEST first before handing the customer another stuck one! Then we raised the issue again and this time the server brought two bottles and he tried to pour for us... AND BOTH WERE STUCK! It was frustrating! The manager (or senior server) came to help and he just tried at our table.
(The correct thing to do at this time was to use a chopstick to stir the sauce in the kitchen, pour it out on a saucer and serve the customer the dish of sauce.)
Anyway finally we borrowed the sauce from the next table which seemed to have no trouble with theirs.
Food not fantastic.
Then we asked for the bill which took 10-15 minutes to come... and mind you, there were only 4 other tables occupied.
Beautifully decorated with traditional furnitures and flowered wallpapers, Asian Kitchen just brings about a nice ambience and provides a soothing place to have a meal. With the efficient service, the visit was definitely worth it. :)
Ah..and I do agree that the xiao long baos are GREAT! :) They came steaming hot, and the soup within just gushes out when u take a bite into it. Delightable taste that just makes u want it more! ;)
I also tried their fried rice, and..it was not bad. I just found it a little too oily for my preference. Yet..I guess traditional fried rice just needs more oil to get the flavour. However, they serve other traditional Chinese food that you can try as well. :)
The Cheesecake Cafe is located just a stone's throw away from Siglap Centre. It's open from Wed-Sun, 4.30 - 11.30pm.
It is THE Cheesecake Cafe. As in THE. It serves up a whole host of different cheesecakes. There are also specials everyday which are not in the menu. The Rum N Raisin Cheesecake and Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake are great! There's also a peach one which I love but I can't remember the exact name. Anyway TRY ALL. I'm serious.
The food isn't all that great. They serve some finger food that taste different from time to time. The drinks are fine.
The ambience is very relaxed with jazz playing in the background. There are sofa seats and dinner tables to choose from, depending on what you wish to order.
It's the perfect place to chill out with your friends. But not for dinner.
Pepper Lunch! Definitely something new. The food cooks at your table so you needn't worry about it being served cold or stale-like. There's a wide variety of dishes for you to choose from with different combinations.
You could have salmon, chicken, rice, etc.
I had the Salmon and Chicken Combo, whilst my companion had the Beef set. Both of which tasted great. It would not be overcooked as the pan on which the food is served cools after a while.
The ambience is very casual as it is a fast food restaurant. The prices are higher than that of your regular fast food joints but it's really due to the quality of the food.
One small gripe I have would be that the servers could afford to smile a little more and they could make the system of seating the customers more transparent.
This is actually a concept restaurant. The food cooks at your table on a very very hot stone. There's no oil added, so it's really healthy. They use spices and marinate to make your meat taste good. There are pretty special dishes like the huge mushroom and all dishes are served with some vege and potato mash which tastes really nice!
The servers are well-mannered and always willing to help. They are also very knowledgeable and are able to dispense advice regarding the choice of food and the cooking method promptly.
The pricing is average. For the quality and ambience i guess it's reasonable.
I only have 2 gripes. One of which is that the variety is quite limited. There is only one dish of every meat... which means one chicken dish, one fish, one beef, one seafood, etc. The second is that I left the place, smelling as if you've just been to a barbeque.
Ultimately cool place! A pity I don't have photos of it, but I've went to this place once and since then, totally adored this place. But because of the location (extremely far from my place and hard to get to), I haven't been back there since. It's actually located near Chomp Chomp, for those who stay in Serangoon. Somewhere down the road opposite Chomp Chomp, with a bus stop that has only 2 (I think) buses going there.
I like this place because of its cool environment. Something really special and unique. They have bar top-like tables that has somewhat like a piece of blue frosted glass on the table top. Below the glass, there's a light bulb that, when turned on, gives the table a blue luminous effect. But there's only 2 long tables that are positioned at a visible area from the streets. It's not hard to miss at night. And I would definitely recommend people to go at night too, because the ambience there would be better then. Unfortunately, it does not have a very big area, so if I'm not wrong, it'll be quite packed at peak hours.
This place sells mainly desserts. Ice creams, mudpies, brownies and stuff. The food is served in a very creative way. Especially for the ice cream, it comes with a small test tube of alcohol of your choice from the list. The test tube has its own test tube holder that is triangle (or round also I think) shaped. I find it very interesting. The combination of ice cream and alcohol was quite a fresh idea to me, which really had a great part in leaving a good impression in me.
Apart from desserts, they also have simple finger food like calamari and onion rings etc. As well as other western food I think.
Last thursday while i was rushing for an emergency pee pee while walking from raffles hotel to raffles city shopping center i came across a very interesting shop. Its not a shop actually, its a push cart... All i remembered was i glanced at a nice big brown bag that seemed leather to me from afar before i disappeared into the alley in search of the ladies.
Next i knew, i was already browsing at the nice bags, mostly leather i think. According to the lady it is low quality calf leather. The bags felt really soft and the designs were great. Looking around i saw there bags of different shapes, sizes and designs. What even better.. its having a STORE WIDE 50% discount. My favourite was a huge Deep Brown leather bag. Simple in design but very chic i felt. The lady at the cart is really nice, showing me the different models she had, designs and usages, even modelling to me the bags. I loved them all, had so much choices i just couldn't decide. At last i decided on a dark green smaller version of the one i saw and till today i still couldn't forget the one that mesmerized me..
There were bags for every occasion mostly casual and rugged in look. If you like perhap a elegant chic look when fitted with tight riding pants and white shirt.... According to the lady, they only manufacture a few pieces and so go grab the ones you like soon before they run out of stock.... all thumbs n many toes up.....
I marked my 25th birthday resolution with a DARE for myself. I think that it is pretty memorable to be a quarter century old and for this. i am going to do something that i feel, takes alot of courage. I am going to take my class 2B licence, aka learn to ride a motorbike. I have never been on a bike before until when i was 22 and boy... it was really thrilling and so. i make it a point to enrol myself for this course.
Being a non-bike orientated person, everything seemed net to me and so, i started surfing the new and came across HKL Racing. I went down to their Shop and to my amazement, they have 3 outles in the same area. The shops displayed vast arrays of various models of bikes, peripherals, parts and accessories. I was so amazed..... but i try to keep myself in focus. I wanted to buy a nice helmet, and so i approached a busy looking technician whom kindly referred me to a friendly female staff, pretty young and bubbly i should say. They brought me up to their other showroom with all the peripherals. There all sorts of helmets, for scramblers, racing bikes, for choppers, for vespa scooters, full faced, half faced with all sorts of finishings like leather, patented material and etc etc etc. The prices were pretty reasonable and there are also special limited edition items.
There are specially designed n padded riding vest, gloves and suits for purchase also. Being a newbie i settled for a $50 helmet in white, nicely cushioned and detachable cushions for hygiene issues. I am now ready for my first lesson in riding. They even have a website for you to view their huge product range.
For the vast array and plentiful choices with reasonable prices, i give it 2 thumbs up... Can you lend me 2 thumb, that will be 4 thumbs...... Why i have only 2 thumbs???
Calling all Kueh Kueh Fans.... The best Kueh Kueh in town featuring famous MINI ANG KU KUEH and All other sorts of NoNya or non NoNya Kuehs....
Molly is my personal favourite place to appease my sweet tooth. It is truely a place when contemporary meets tradition snacks, bakery and desserts. The variety is just too huge to describe. Let me introduce you my all time favourites.
No.1 AnG Ku KuEh.... (AKK)
When we eat AKK, the first thing we decide if its a good AKK, will be the skin. The skin should be nice, soft but not too oily with a little chewy taste and thin enough not to chew too long. The filling should be plentiful, not too sweet and of the right wetness. Molly's AKK has all these perfect features and thats makes it my NO.1 AKK. If normal size AKK is too much for you, you can choose the smaller bite size ones and they come in a variety of colours, each colour representing different flavours on the skin. Like Yellow is for a tinge of durian taste, purple for yam, greyish for sesame and red for orginal.
No.2 Otah
The Otah they provide comes in spicy and non-spicy flavours. A non- chilli tolerant me will love to have the non-spicy one which is also good for kids. The flesh is so plentify and juicy. Ever had a juicy Otah, this is one. Such fresh fish meat fillings with a squart of sauce everytime you bite into it. It is really what we call by QQ you tan xing...
No.3 IKan Billies with peanuts
They come in nicely airtight containers, NIcely seasoned ikan billies with nuts and fried till its crispy and savoury. I usually stock up a few containers of this to go with porridge or just eat it on its own.. Beware.. you can really get hooked on that. Goes best with a nice can of beer......
For the variety of savoury snacks and reasonable prices i give it all thumbs up and all toes up...... Up Up and Away........
