Chanced upon this tiny cosy cafe at the basement of Century Square when I was there with my mum last week. Since mum is currently on a healthy diet, we decided to give this organic cafe a try.
Can't remember the actual name of the dish but its grilled cod fillet with brown rice. (Not on the main menu. Its a $9.90 promotion menu or something.) But just look for it lah! Cause its super yummy! I'm not a fish person (that's why I ordered the spicy beef spaghetti which was also very good) but I enjoyed eating my mum's dish!
Another must try is their yogurt. They've many toppings to choose from, we had the mango one. Nice.
If I'm not wrong, they also have an outlet at Velocity.
Something different from the usual Swensen's outlet. Earle serves a finer menu and yet have their famous sundaes and fish and chips.
Went to Earle at Vivo almost everytime we were there for dinner. What we enjoyed most is the salad bar that comes with all main course order. Not alot of variety but enough to make you want to have more than just one serving.
If you're there with a friend, try their Cioppino. Yummy sauce and fresh crayfish. Sure to fill 2 hungry tummies. If you're not into sharing, and can't decide whether to take the chicken or the seafood, give Surf & Turf a try. Chicken breast meat, fresh prawn and fresh crayfish grilled to perfection! The thought of it now just make me want to have it now!
So if you're down at Vivo and don't know where to makan, try Earle Swensen's.
Updated 23 September 2007 I returned today with a few yebbers for lunch. After reading their menu for 30mins (while waiting), I decided to try their lobster. There were 2 options, the grilled or the baked. When I saw my order, I was rather upset and thought I should have taken the baked lobster instead. The lobster looked white and there's no sign of grilling done. Tasted it and ya, definetly not grilled. Or maybe they did for like 5 seconds? It's more boiled than grilled.
This time round, the quality of the food dropped. Wasn't just my own opinion, but the others there with me also mentioned that the food isn't good. Quite disappointed with my visit this time round. Might give this place a miss the next time I'm at Vivo. Hence, I'm re-rating Earle Swnsen's.
This is THE place to get all your scrapbooking and paper supplies! They have the largest collection of materials such as pattern papers, tools and embellishments. The largest scrapbooking store in Asia I think.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Always willing to give a helping hand. For mummys out there, they can help look after your kids while you shop too! (Well, this one depends on the crowd lah. If its very busy day, try to understand.)
They have very cool workshops too! Learn to scrapbook and create pretty handmade albums and cards.
If you're around Plaza Singapura, check out their store!

Totally agreed! The place has a very sleazy feel to it, with live canto pop music, "ah lians" trying to get you to buy drinks, and terrible pole dance performances.
During the only time that I was there, the male singer walked off during his singing simply because he was mad at a particular customer for a reason unknown to me. Absolutely unprofessional.
Alessi is an Italian kitchenware company which is famous for its colorful and playful designs.
Their products can really turn the otherwise dull and boring kitchen into a fun place to cook and prepare food. Such as the futuristic-looking lemon squeezer, the cutesy eggcup, and the Anna G. wine bottle corkscrew pictured above.
For people who believes in form over function (that's not saying that Alessi products lack functionality), this is the perfect place to get your kitchenware!
Hong Kong cafes are all the rage recently! And this Tong Shui Cafe along Liang Seah Street is one of them. But in my opinion, not the best of them.
The cafe is usually pretty packed (these days, which Hong Kong cafe isn't?) so big groups might find it difficult to get seats.
I tried their Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Wolfberries and Iced Yin Yong, which are decent. But at $8.88, I am inclined to say that it's a little high on price.
They also have the very popular Nissin noodles, which I should try one day!

Great place to check out on Sundays. This Flea Market has been around for many years. (It was previously at Clarke Quay if I'm not wrong.)
What you'll find there?
Collectors items, Toys, Vintage stuff, Second-hand stuff, Fashion accessories, bags and many many interesting finds.
Do give this place a go if you've got no where to shop on Sunday.
Nearest MRT station: Chinatown or Raffles Place

I was back again recently and took a video of what you will usually find at China Square Central Flea Market.

Chong Pang Nasi Lemak has got the nicest chicken wings and drumsticks that I've ever tried! Superbly crispy and tasty, and the size is huge.
The nasi lemak rice itself and the other side dishes are good too. Queue is usually pretty long, so be prepared to wait.
And the shop itself is not very accessible unless you drive. But definitely worth the trip!

Looking for a shopping mall for all your home furnishing needs? Park Mall is the place to go! Well, provided you have the budget to match.
The shops here mostly carry upmarket designer furniture such as Philippe Starck and Herman Miller.
If you got the dough, you might just find the perfect things to beautify your home. Otherwise, even window-shopping here is not a bad idea at all!
