I went for dinner at KuShinBo the other day and BOY THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD! Especially the FAT JUICY ALASKAN CRABS. Ooohh.. the white meat was so huge and Soosoo Sweet.
The Buffet had a wide variety of every sort Japanese cuisine, such as fresh succulent Sashimi, Freshly grilled seafood, Soupy stuffs, tempura and more. What surprises me is that they will CHEONG you to eat with their special items. They will play this JINGLE and when you hear it... Get Ready, on your Mud... Get Set.... Go and queue for a special item which ranges from Cheesy Slipper Lobsters to grilled scallops. Boy ... am i salivating now. Even if at the point of time you feel that you have already eaten an elephant, you will still charge for that one small item that you hope it fits in your tummy.
If you are the kind that drinks alot, you should be very glad because you have an assortment of beverages to choose ranging from freshly brewed coffee to tangy fruit punches and more. For those with a raging sweet tooth, they have a wide variety of traditional japanese desserts to fancy cakes, delicious handmade chocolates, cookies, cute fruit tarts, creamy ice creams and our all time favourite... freshly cut fruits. Thats not all yet... They also have a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN pleasently known as a FONDUE.. How CHIC...
If you miss the days when you get to lick on that brightly coloured cotton candy... so fluffy.. so pretty.. Then don't forget to get one when the DING DING DONG starts... I love that soo soo much, it really brings back alot of childhood memories.
For Food that quality and quantity, Seriously i really don't mind the price... $39.80 for dinner on a weekend sounds prefectly all right... if you had gone hungry for the last 3 days and can seriously make it to gobble up an elephant...
You might not think that its worth the price when you see the tightly placed tables and not so soothing ambience, but when you see the SPREAD OF THE BUFFET.... and taste the sweet sweet Fleshy JUICY CRAB... You will think that its all WORTH IT...
They also do promotions for certain catagories of people at certain time and day... such as Ladies Nite... and lunch or dinner on weekdays are much more affordable.
For those desperate like me and loves to eat....
Start thinking how to reduce your height to less then 1.4m.. because for that you only get to pay $16 at all times.
If you can't then be a senior citizen, you get 10% off at all times. Wah..Lah... FEAST ON....
The food is fabulous, i give all thumbs up including 5 toes...
Definitely not for the weak hearted...
I agree! Carl's Junior is quite different in terms of style and all. I think it's totally imported from the States or something, with the huge servings and all. Great for huge eaters! But it's definitely not a good choice for dining if you're on a budget. It's slightly more expensive than other fast food restaurants and you're not paying for much service nor ambience.
But there are some places where you have to try before you know whether you like it or not. And if you're looking for a fast food that's slightly different (with free flow of drinks), I would recommend Carl's too! :)
I was never really into Black Forest cakes, but after I tried the Black Forest cake from Secret Recipe, I have to say it's one of the nicer cakes I've ever had! So, I decided to go for dessert at Secret Recipe after dinner one day. I've tried Chocolate Banana and Mango Delight.
I must say Black Forest and Chocolate Banana are highly recommended cakes! There is a tasty chocolate layer on the cake that does not taste too rich and won't make you get sick of it so easily. The banana slices are huge slices buried within layers of the cake. What's good is that the taste of the banana is not covered by the chocolate and the bananas used are really sweet. As for the Mango Delight, the mango slices within the cake are the sweet and delicious mango, unlike other cakes that use half riped or sour mangoes.
Although I haven't tried the other cakes, but from the looks of it, the other cakes seem not bad too! Definitely a good place for desserts!
Gramophone is a little like HMV. Another major music store vying for the same group of consumers. Just like HMV, they have a whole collection of music CDs and videos of different genres. The atmosphere of the shop is very different from HMV. It gives a less commercialized feeling than HMV and, with all the dark-grained wooden furniture plus jazz or classical music they play most of the time, it gives the place a rather comfortable yet classy feel.
Plus I made a new discovery today (perhaps this has been out for awhile already)! Gramophone does rentals of movies now (maybe HMV does also?) and they reach out to people of different races in Singapore as they have not just English and Chinese movies, but quite a collection of Hindi movies as well! The price for movie rentals are about $5 per show, which is quite a fair price. Plus, with their wide variety of movies available, one is spoilt for choice! And for those interested in Bollywood movies, you can find quite a few good ones here.
Lemongrass is quite a popular Thai restaurant with quite a few outlets around the island. I like their string beans a lot. One of my favourite dish! But one thing about this outlet is that it is always packed during dinner time, mostly on weekends. Because of that, service is not as efficient and it takes a long time before the food is served.
Nonetheless, I would say this place is worth a try :)
The lobster linguine is highly recommended at all Coffee Club outlets.
Also, the muddy mud pie is quite a good item to try. The food there is great, and it's an excellent place to dine at for chocolate lovers! Why? Because their chocolate flavoured stuff are really rich in chocolate, I'm sure you'll love this place if you're a chocolate fanatic!
However, despite the great food, I won't say I'd leave this place smiling. Great food does not go with lousy service, especially when the people there tend to forget your order. I think that's the worst thing one taking orders can do.
Montip sells hair accessories to handphone accessories, small coin purses to large bags, and other accessories like earrings, badges, rings, bra-straps and special accessories with bling-blings (eg, tiaras and large bling-bling necklaces).
The items are trendy and comes with a very reasonable price tag. :) I love the fact that there is a large variety for any single item found there. A simple thing like a hairclip can be available in different colours and designs, shapes and sizes that..you would be spoilt for choice!
It's really difficult to make decisions there. Haha.. :P
However, Montip's branches seem to have decreased over the years, and..this paradise of accessories is only found in certain places now.. I only know of its branches at Tampines Mall and Great World City. =)
A small unit located somewhere in Parkway. Don't look down on this little shop, it sells many simple accessories that are suitable for ladies who are into the latest trends. It's a pity the place is really small, however the shop sells many items ranging from hairbands to rings, necklaces to earrings. This small shop allows one to find suitable accessories to match your clothes, and most importantly you don't need a long time to find something right because everything is displayed clearly and is easy to spot what you want.
Secondly, the items here are in an affordable range. For example, most necklaces cost less than $16, and they even have some earrings that are sold at 3 pairs of $9. They may be earrings that may cost $5 a pair at other shops selling similar accessories.
Last of all, the sales lady is really pleasant too! I was there not long ago to buy something. Before payment, the lady asked if I wanted to get a matching earring to go with it. I wanted to take a look at it and she offered to take it for me, even though there was a queue and it was not exactly very near. I was very pleased by her service and left the place feeling very happy.
A place selling nice items, with good service is where you'd really like to shop. I highly recommend this place!
I've seen many pepper lunch outlets around town area, and heard a lot about it. I decided to give it a try after hearing so much about it. I ordered a curry beef rice. It being my first time, I thought it was quite cool to see the dishes being served out on sizzling hot plates, and that we had to cook the meat ourselves and stir everything together. However, one thing I really disliked about the place was also the fact that we had to do the cooking ourselves. After all that smoke from our hotplate, we end up smelling like we just left a hawker centre. It stinks up your clothes and leave you feeling smelly for the rest of the day.
Secondly, this place does sell meat like salmon and beef, and would be slightly more expensive. However, I feel that the food is priced too high, with the cheapest dish being around $8 all the way to around $16 . It is not exactly worth the money. Plus, the side dishes are also really expensive. Unless it's once in awhile, I feel that this place is not a good place to patronize because of the high cost.
Movie tickets today are priced at different prices today, which can cost as high as $9.50 on weekends and public holidays. Despite this rocket high price, people are still willing to pay for it. However, many would prefer to catch a movie during the weekdays when ticket prices are cheaper. For people looking for a cheap place to catch a movie, this is the place you're looking for. On weekdays, tickets are priced at $5; on weekends, tickets are priced at arond $6.50. Nonetheless, the most expensive ticket you can get from this place is still cheaper than movie tickets at GV on weekdays.
However, do not expect much from a place like this. The place is not as well maintained as other cinemas. The aircon is not as strong as other cinemas and the seats are not as comfortable as those you can get from GV or Cathay. Also, despite the large seating capacity, the theatre is seldom more than half filled. But the place is good enough to stay in there for 2 hours or so.
If you're not particular about the air-conditioning or the environment, this is a good place to go. In addition, the rules there are less strict and you are allowed to bring in other food from elsewhere. People who frequent this cinema would normally take-away food from the nearby KFC or Macdonald's.
