Safra Yishun country club, take a 15mins walk from Yishun MRT, LIC had the opportunity to visit the place last week and took some photos, so i thought i’ll share them and for people who have never visit any Safra around our island yet.
Swimming pool is definitely a main feature of any country club, be it for the kids or adults who fancy a swim, especially so in our hot weather.
Chalets are also a main feature of Safra, members can get them at a cheaper rates but i think non-members also are allowed to book them. Otherwise just get a friend who’s Safra member!
Personally i didn’t book any Safra chalets before, although several occasions i been to friends organise ones. I guess its pretty cool to book a chalet and just relax with your family, love one, and friends.
The rock-climbing area is one of the unique facilities available at Safra Yishun.
With this, LIC shall end the post on Safra Yishun! There’s plenty of other facilities like tennis court, gym, arcade, bowling centre, pool tables, spas at the country club also. Well you can check them out to see the facilities, some requires a fee, while others should be available for booking.
Don’t be afraid to explore the Safras around our island, they are built by the government for us to use after all!
This is a non-food related post, i’m sorry for any disturbance if you have came to ladyironchef wanting to read about my food adventure, but instead found yourself reading this post which has totally nothing to do with food. The next post will be on Eatzi, which is a cafe eatery under the same management by Jack’s place, which is also located within Safra Yishun.
You are always welcome to visit
ladyironchef for a full-up on this trip. Whatever written herein are my genuine feelings expressed in words. Food, my dear, is what they call an adventure!
Eatzi steakhouse & bistro is under the same management of the family-known name, Jack’s Place. The one that we are exploring today is located within Safra Yishun, just besides the swimming pool which makes it convenient for customers who want a hot meal after a swim.
With the green white chequered table cloth so oddly-like to the interior of Jack’s place, the familiar items on both menus makes you wondered why Jack’s place came out with Eatzi.
While some restaurants group came up with different restaurants, but they branded and package the different restaurants. But in the case of Eatzi, they do not hide the fact that they are under the same management as Jack’s place, and with the menu items also mostly similar, it makes us wonder do we go to Jack’s place, or Eatzi?
Nevertheless, Eatzi has their daily set lunch menu which offers different food on different days. The day that we went was a Tuesday, the choice of soup cream of corn. Main course is boiled fish with spinach & mussel topped with ginger cream sauce, or sauteed pasta with olive oil topped with crumbled chicken.
Sauteed pasta with crumbled chicken ($9.80) The Sauteed pasta with olive oil topped with crumbled chicken comes in the daily set meal. All set lunch includes a soup of a day, choice of main course, and dessert of the day, and coffee/tea.
Nasi Goreng with egg & satay ($9) Asian fusion delights seems weird to be on the menu of Eatzi, a place more for its steak and western meal. Nonetheless, the serving was quite big, and one person will struggle to finish the food. Do note this dish is on the A la carte menu, not in the set lunch.
NZ Ribeye steak with brown sauce ($14.80) Obviously Eatzi being a steakhouse, you ought to try some steak here. The NZ ribeye steak is on the executive set lunch menu, the main different between the normal set lunch and executive set lunch is the different type of food, with the executive priced slightly higher.
The waitress brought the steak on the hotplate over to our table, and pour the brown sauce to make the steaks goes sizzling! This is followed by the potato, which is cut into half and mayo sauce is applied to fill up the centre of the potato.
Eatzi offers affordable eating in a cafe with its set menus. Certainly when the food is so cheap, you can’t be really expecting much quality from it. The place’s great if you want a simple meal and at a cafe environment, its affordable pricing is definitely targeted to the mass market.
However, i won’t be going back because of the apparent lack in quality, and personally its a case of eating good food, not necessary expensive ones, but good food. Given a choice between Eatzi and our local delights at hawker centre, i’ll gladly choose the latter.

I literally watched this place renovate and prepare for opening. I looked forward to it as it seemed to offer more reasonable prices and was much nearer to my place than the coffeeshop.
The day it opened, I walked past pretty late and was dying to get some desserts. My sister and I stood there for a bit waiting. We didn't know if they had takeaways and wanted to ask if they had Yam Paste. They have some tubs of paste that looked like Yam paste on the counter but it wasn't available in the menu.
We waited and waited. 2 servers and 2 ladies whom we figured were the bosses looked at us in the eye but didn't say anything. They stood in front of us and instructed something to the counter people without acknowledging our presence... After a full 10 minutes of standing there, we went home without our desserts. We were really patient weren't we?
A few days after, my father suggested for us to go eat there. Thinking that they were just overly busy that first day I agreed. We were greeted as we approached the cafe and seated quickly. They gave us the menus which were strangely worn.
Food Ordered:
Chicken Rice Set B (Steamed) - $5.50 This set came with soup and a reasonable serving of vegetables. Chicken Rice happens to be "main dish" of this cafe. Most of the people I saw ordered at least a set. The meat was not too fatty and the rice was just slightly fragant and not too salty. The vegetables (thankfully) were not overcooked. I'd agree with my dad that there was slightly more rice than the usual at coffeeshops.
Thai Style Chicken Cutlet Rice - $5
I liked this one more than the chicken rice. The sauce was tangy and spicy. The Chicken Cutlet was very crisp. The rice was plain white rice but the sauce was flavourful enough for me.
Marmite Pork Ribs - $10
This one was surprisingly disappointing. The ribs were really small and there were about 5-6 pieces only. Mighty expensive if I had to say. Maybe I'm feeling a little disappointed because I just came back from Wuxi and the infamous dish there is Pork Ribs.... Tastewise it's alright with enough fatty bits. The sauce was pretty tasty but I still find it expensive. Moreover its presentation wasn't nice at all.
With no GST/service charge, the total came up to $20.50 for 3 people. Foodwise it is better than your regular coffeeshops. And in terms of pricing, it's pretty competitive in comparison to the food outlets in this area, esp the air-conditioned ones. Judging from the business it's been getting, I'd say this is here to stay... :)
Bought a dress from this place. Ordering is by leaving comments for the "collection" of clothes and the blog owner will email you. Reply came quick and courteous. Item was also sent very fast and nicely packed. However, items seems to be limited and expensive looking at the materials of the clothing. One commendable thing is, the designs of the clothes are unique and seldom seen on other blog shops.
Went for lunch at this place this afternoon as my friend heard the recommendation for it over the radio. Decided to order the Sirloin Steak ($10) even though I didn't know its the specialty there. I simply love to eat steak even though I dislike most meat.
Medium well for the steak. The cut wasn't too good as there are too much ligaments (?). However meat was tender and goes well with the sauce but I would prefer heavier beef taste. Came with baked beans and fried whipped potato (with butter I guess) and fries. Quite value for the price of $10.
A friend ordered pork and he did mention its just average and nothing special. However he loved the fried chicken which looked a bit weird but that doesn't matter when the taste is good.
Beef stew was fine, I heard, in fact, the beef tasted delicious. However the vegetables that came with the stew were cold.
Chicken chop ($5.50) also received a "normal" review. With a common sauce as Pork chop, the sauce didn't seem to blend well with the meat.
On the whole, I guess I won't deliberately visit this stall for the food.
This blogstore is one I chanced upon while surfing around one day. The owners also have another called Black Sequin which sells clothing at reasonable prices.
They sell a special product from Japan and I was really curious when I went to see the website. The website had plenty of information like the ingredients of the product, a FAQ and it is very easy to read and navigate around.
Despite all the information, Kiasu Me still emailed them to find out more and their replies were friendly and prompt. They also reply via MSN and their chatbox so it's really good. I also like how they constantly update their customers regarding the status of the orders.
I have yet to receive my items (as the spree has not closed) but I'm already very satisfied with how they have lived up to their motto of *Service comes first*
EsSpecially for the wonderful Taxi Uncle Who drove me home when I was slightly tipsy and pouring out my love for cute doggies.
I really love to have a doggie... But mum says stinky and so... I never had one.. But i do love to visit pet shops.. to just oogle and salivate at these cute little puppies.
Taxi uncle gave me his other business card and a few days later.. I just went by to say Hi... He was not there but it is indeed a special pet shop... I would say something not of the regular services other shops provide..
At NooAgeDog.... You can find organic food for doggies if you like and premium BACK TO NATURE.. Harmony Enhancing Services like DOGGIE SPA... REIKI HEALING.... HYDROTHERAPY .... AROMATHERAPHY.... BUSH FLOWER ESSENCE THERAPY....
It so new age right..... and its definitely good for your precious doggie....
Having problems feeding him? Consult their expert in Nutrition Therapy.... and turn your precious into a priced pedegree....
If you're going away for a while, they do pet sitting and boarding as well as day care... How comprehensive yar....
For me.. i'm just waiting for mum to get immune to the neighbour's doggie smell and I'll definitely get myself a cute little bulldog as my pal... of course from Taxi Uncle... meanwhile... I am sourcing. YOGA for DOGGIEs.... ZEN.............
CAFE Dining Class Food in the HeartLand.. Whats the difference... I say.. its saving money on airconditioning while we SAVE GAIA.... I am soo In.....
Whoes more In? My daddy and mummy or me? Of course Dad n Mum... Because they secretly rendevouz at the Astons while i was having my boring honey stars with milk at home. Yes.. Thats My Mum and My Dad.. and so.. me and me brothers for once decide to invade their secret eating place by challenging them to a game of badminton.. and guess who won?
Them of course.. but we won a meal at the Astons, just that we paid for it.. I was shock at the setting of the place.. This lousy Kopitiam at the far corner of Jurong East Central next to the not so famous Shop n Save has now turned into a palace. The ChiC Sign Boards and fancy table lays plus if you want fanciful desserts, there is a 717 Durian and pastry there... I was more then shock. It was ecstatic, when i saw the price of the food on this huge beautiful, classically designed billboard... They have chicken cooked with all sorts of cordiments like BBQ sauce, Tangy Lemony tasting, mushroom sauce, not to mention the Ribs, Salmon, grilled or bbq, sausages of a various kinds, sandwiches, burgers... and the KING of it all SLAB ON THE STEAK!!!!!
With the mains chosen, you can now choose your side dish. All mains come with 2 side dish... Hot or Cold.. From Coleslaw, corn to baked potatoes or potato salard... They have it all.. Don't forget to try their soup.. which is so creamy, savoury and smooth......
The food is good.. Crispy as it should be and soft and tender inside. The sauce is so savoury, full of flavour and this is how a good slab of BBQ Chicken should be. The sides weres fabulous as well.. Coleslaw fresh and chewy and whipped potato smooth and creamy...
Best of it all.. For a meal for 5 adults and 2 kids. It cost less then $50.. What a STEAL...... Who says fine dining must have aircon and music.. I can watch TV there somemore......
SAVE GAIA..... (See I'm so IN)
Cheap Lunch with Free Flow of RootBeer Float......
I like this place..... The simpleness and the easy going attitude... It gives me the wonderful feeling of freedom.. I don't know why.
The restaurant is nothing much. With its simple deco and menu, I believe the attracting point is not the food or ambience but rather the freedom associated.
Let me explain more about why i feel FREE...DOM..
As you enter.. there's no waiter's screaming into your ears... unlike some other joints... when all the waiters or waiteress will scream WELCOME...... and it always turns me white and I would not have much appetite later... EARS r FREE of stress..
If you order any of their set meals or main course you could op to have free flow drinks and ice-cream which includes root beer, pepsi n other soft drinks, ice lemon tea or coffee from the COFFEE MAKER.... FREE DRINKS and REFILL.... I like....
Then you can also have free flow of ice-cream... I like that too... and make any sinful combination you want. The last time i went there.. I have like 2 root beer floats before my lunch was served... I like THAT....
The menu was a simple fare.. the normal fried stuffs and grilled jap cuisines.... I particularly like their chicken cutlet or watever u call that in Jap... Its nice.. the chicken is huge and it comes with abundant rice and some simple toufu soup which is filling and yummy.... The fried soft shell crab is also nicey... thats if you like crabs and fried stuffs and calamari also nicey.... But what I like best is that after u finish, the waiteress or waiters will not rush you out.. So you can enjoy as much servings of free flow drinks and ice-cream.. as you sit and chat and laze and snake out the afternoon....
Where can you find nice and filling jap fare with unlimited supply of drinks and ice-cream, not to mention the root beer float in SUNTEC CITY.... I say.. definitely must go... especially for SNAKERs.... I mean... Snake Eaters... Oopss.. I think I should Stop Now....
If you haven't seen HeavenScene... You definitely Haven't seen it all.....
I was idling away one weekday afternoon.. I would not say when and guess what I found....... Heaven...... Must be missing an Angel......
Its a humble little shop hidden away from all the buzzle at level 3 of golden landmark mall; like a piece of exquisite jewellery, sitted there quietly, waiting to be found and Awed....
I was just merely looking for a Belly scarf for Belly Dancing when i walked into HeavenScene. Boy.. The clothes were BEAUTIFUL.. EXOTIC need not say... and Interesting.... I was always intrigued by the Middle Eastern Art and Fashion and this place provides it all.... As I walk deeper into the shop, through the glisttering bead veil.. I found my love once again.. COFFEE and CHOCOLATE aroma filled the small space i breath. What sinfully addictive potent combination. I can't help but have to enjoy a coffee break.
Though the cafe is not big, it is so cosy and every piece of furniture is full of the middle eastern culture. Beautifully crafted chandelier to egyptian tiles on the wall... These decorations can make a mini museum by itself. I love the cups and the spoons best. These self picked and imported spoons have careful sculpted and gold plated ends... truly intriguing.
After chatting with the lovely lady boss, we decided to try her bread pudding and boy.. it was Sooooo Goooood....... Soft but not smashy... The milky and buttery taste is simply too good. Even now thinking about it makes my mouth all watery. It simply goes so well with the aromatic coffee. *slurp*
For an Exclusive Night out to a party with no accidental twins in fashion and for an exotic and intriguing coffee break; My $10 ticket to the middle east.... Cheers to the bread pudding....
