If you enjoy korean style fried chicken you should really pop by Kko Kko Nara at Tanjong Pagar. Walking distance from the MRT and the main road, this outlet is usually packed with diners during dinner hours, so please remember to make your reservations.
We were there on a weekday evening, good thing our friends arrived earlier and chopped us some seats. When i arrived which is slightly before 7pm, there was already a queue outside and well parking is pretty ample by the 2 sides of the road, so if you drive its pretty convenient.
This long restaurant has got pretty nice booth seats for a group size of about 4-6. Well cushioned and ventilated. I spyed our neighbours having Korean BBQ meat, however our good friend suggested a fried chicken party as their Fried Chicken are suppose to be super duper yummilicious. We thus started to order the various flavors and of course some korean wine to go with the meat.
The Original was crispy, tasty and juicy. Our good friend loved it so much that she ate almost half the chicken ($20 for half a chicken).
The garlic and soya sauce is my favourite, love the salty sauce and though my friends commented too savoury, it was just right for me. ($25 for half a chicken)
The spicy was a tad too spicy... I only had a small middle part of the wing and couldn't take it anymore... I was worried my lips would grow to sausage size.
I was surprised they had the lunch menu in which the chicken portions are about 20% cheaper than the dinner prices. Well, take away is the same price with GST and Service Charge but the package was nicely packed with side dishes accompanying salad and cold dish packed separately including a complimentary can of coke, not forgetting forks and serviettes.
Now how sweet is that :)

I stupidly signed up for their apparent promotion of $8 for 6 sessions of TCM slimming treatment, thinking what a good deal I got. And over the phone I reconfirmed with them that it is indeed that price for 6 sessions.
When I reached, I was told that oh over here their definition of 'session' mean body parts. So my tummy, hips, thighs, ankles and 2 other parts will be the '6 sessions'. I know it was cheap and so didnt want to argue with them, but I cant help but think it is misleading.
During the consultation, what they said about clogged lymphatic systems does sound logical but I would rather they come up with a real promotion where you can actually see results than such a dishonest promotion. After all, their basic package priced at $600 for 30 sessions of stuff is in fact reasonable.
Oh well.

Decided on this high tea for a staff makan session as they were having a 1-4-1 with UOB (max of 2 free) or 2 1 with ANZ - both for high tea 3-5pm from Mondays to Thursdays. For the 7 of us, the 2 promos ende dup being the same - $229 for 7pax in total.
I visited this place once before they renovated and was not impressed so it was time to give them a chance. As it turned out, my post-reno experience is much better.
The cafe was really crowded when we went on a Tuesday afternoon at 3pm. Everyone dont need to work?!
Cold dishes - quite a nice variety of cold stuff: fresh prawns on ice (really fresh!), assorted sushi, DIY salad, smoked salmon. Rather tasty.
Breads - about 4-5 selection but I didnt try any. Who eats breads at buffets?
Hot dishes - Indian curries and pratas, assorted dim sum, chinese stir fries, baked goods like scones, pizzas, and popiahs. A nice mix of cuisines I must say.
Cooking stations - DIY where you pick and take your own ingredients like veg, bean sprouts, fish cakes take your own noodle type pass to the chef to blanch. When done, just choose the soup base you want from Ba Kut Teh, Prawn noodle, Mee siam, and laksa. Not too bad and very comforting.
Desserts - More local desserts like tao suan, kuehs, and mini cakes. Ice cream is available but flavours were boring. There's also a DIY ice kachang station too.
The buffet includes coffee and tea too.
Service was nothing to complain about, with very efficient fervently staff clearing plates at the beginning, but I guess they ran out of steam towards the end.
Still a nice meal in a nice environment nonetheless but I wouldnt come back if there aren't any promo.

We were pleasantly surprised by the number of booths at this flea. Mostly neatly arranged taking up almost half in length of the level 3 concourse in a good chronological order and banners placed at all the right places to direct crowd to the event location. The walkways were spacy and organizers friendly and easy to work with, environment kept calmingly cool with good ventilation and background music that hypnotises "Shop! Shop! Shop!"
It was fun as I browse walk through the many booths, inspecting a varied of merchandises from handy phone accessories, fashionable wear and foot wear, even ladies lingerie, children fashion and also had some rather interesting finds. As i'm a flea hopper, I tend to see pretty similar items being sold in most fleas, items like preloved clothes and accessories, branded make-up or korean skin care, children fashion and shoes.
I managed to find a few very interesting things and am going to name them one by one.
1. i saw fire extinguishers.... No kidding.... for the best protection for your family, your home and your loved ones. Equip yourself with a handy extinguisher for small kitchen fires or accidental electrical fires. Otherwise a fire blanket to snooze it off. Something i learnt, fire blankets have got no expiry date, now how educational is that.
2. Branded imported lingerie and bikinis.... I'm amazed, ecstatic even to find some very farmiliar brands from the USA being sold for $10 a piece.... colours were great and the booth owner was equally sexy as her merchandises.
3. Handphone accessories, something we cannot deny we still need and prices here were super affordable. I am glad a came by this booth.
4. Shoes shoes and more slippers? Yes, i found some really nice shoes for my men, slippers and casual wears.... usually flooded with preloved female footwear, here you get them new and for men...
5. I spotted fighting fish for sale... yes, these little aquatic tigers are for sale as ornamental lifestyle products. You get a nice container and a couple of these shimmering beautiful fishes.
The entire flea was very interesting to shop around made crowded by the nearby exhibitions and other conventions that are going on. I haven't got started on the funky t-shirts, super cheap toys and stationaries, interesting snacks and cakes on sale. Well its a flea with a good array of vendors and products, fit for the young and old.
Plus plus plus my niece got herself a super pretty blouse which she loved and a super cool rubber illuminated watch... Well her brother just go himself a minion t-shirt which is super comfy and thin... The parents.... stopped by almost every booth, lets just not get started about them!!!

I decided to have a beer with a friend at Medz while having 2 hours to kill in between stuff, attracted by the 1-4-1 promotion going on. We flipped through the table tentage menu placed on the counter for a while before decided on the kronenburg which is listed as $13.22 on the menu.
When the bill came, it was $15. We asked the staff why and they said ' (pointing to the table tentage menu) oh that's the old menu. All our prices have gone up by 15% now". HUH?? We asked for the new menu reflecting indicating the new prices and was told "its only ready in about 1week". oOOOKAY.
How difficult is it to print paper menu indicating new prices? Even temporary ones will do. Or even a signage indicating and explaining the price hike. They obviously know customers are looking at outdated prices and yet say nothing, leaving only until I check the bill to clarify - and its only because I clarified to which they responded. What about customers who dont have time to check their bills? Keeping quiet and playing ignorant shows there is something wrong with the way they are running the business.
I do believe this is a deliberate attempt to mislead customers into paying more than what is correct. Everyone should avoid this place until they sort out what is correct.
Eventually, a person who appears to be more senior just said "if you like we will charge you the old prices" and we were refunded the difference. But with no apologies and not at all sorry.

Found this little treasure while I was browsing the flea market. Love the colours, collection, brands and varieties available and what more... they are very affordable :) *shivers with joy*
Its a humble looking stall neatly stacked with boxes and some standing shelves loaded with eye shadows with colours so many, you wish you had brought along a larger bag to hide your purchases from that bewildered look your hubby is gonna give you... So while i loaded up on the NYX eye shadows and not forgetting beautiful eye liners in multiple hues of black, brown and grays, and aimlessly drifted to the next section.
Lipsticks in all sorts of eye-popping colours that simply jump out at you. Yes. boxes of them neatly bundled with the colour number facing up. Yes... affordably priced, you can get a few of the fluorescent plump looking lip glosses to go with your equally loud lipsticks.
Besides NYX, they do also carry a few other brands and service is well... super friendly. Blushes, brushes, foundations of all textures and whatever that makes you pretty is also available. They do appear mostly in fleas otherwise you would have to catch them online via their online shops.
I had a wonderful time browsing their merchandises which has an amazing variety, prices are very economical (you know what i mean), products are real good quality and mostly sealed.. Now don't get me started on that multiple blush palette that contained 3 colours of blushers or many combinations of eye colours in one box.... I just couldn't stop....

Your nails can't look more valuable until you've got yourself foiled at Value Nails. Yes, they retail nail foils aka sticker for your nails yet must more lasting and with more a fashionable taste in design, texture and application.
Spotted them at one of the flea market and got a free trial on my fore finger... I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the application was and how perfect it looked post application. All she did was choose an appropriate size, stick it on and file the excess off with a filing stick and TADAH..... your nail is dressed in style... Smooth and perfect prints on my nails... with that i took a closer look at the hundreds of designs placed in front of me.
5 for $10, made me wanna buy more than 5.... with designs so pretty.. i don't know where to start... So i started with geometrical prints, then to the polka dots and stripes, floral designs, lace looking prints, characters and lastly 3D designs that pops out with a texture....
I took a long time selecting for the right print, yet all seemed to look right for me... coz its so simple to apply, i could change my designs everyday or every other day.... Just think about how hip my nails will look.... So i scratched my head and went into the agony of controlling myself not to buy every one design that i get my eyes on.. i guess maybe about 500 stacks of designs on the table.
Good thing the helpful staff was there to save the day. Though a tall, strong looking gentleman, he's pretty much an expert in these nail prints. He could intro me the special designs and the ones he held up are looking pretty amazing, such I took almost all he recommended and was in a happy frenzy mood afterwards.
When i got home, i started the sticking regime, its simple, just stick on and file off, however its not really easy to do it single handedly, so i would propose a friendly girl pal to do it with you. A good tip i got from the staff, always stick straight and make sure no bubbles, then the nail foil will last for the longest time.. Most importantly, no aggressive scratching or trying to pick staples off your documents... no nail art can take these punishing drills..... love yourself, look beautiful and buy some nail foils :)

I like Food Republic as they seem to have better food than KouFu or Kopitiam. The wisma location is a much better option then the Ion counterpart in terms of quality and price, plus its generally less crowded.
This is my default post-gym dinner place but recently the prawn noodle soup stall has closed down. I also tried the dim sum stall's congee once and it was quite good. The toast box also makes for a good tea time pit-stop.
My current favorite is the sliced fish bittergourd noodle soup - for $4.80 you get a generous portion of fresh sliced fish and thick noodles swimming in flavourful broth.
Just dont try the 麻辣香锅 - it is not too bad but it is unexpectedly expensive! Of course it depends on the amount and type of veg you pick but it still adds up to about $8-10 for one person. Too ex for a simple foodcourt meal.
For passioncard members, you get a 10% discount on weekdays too :))

I bought a Groupon voucher for $58 which includes 1 hour massage 1 hour facial 10min detox foot soak. I thought it was a good deal, no?
The reception area gave us quite a good impression as it looked really nice, plus clean and tidy. The usual filling up of particulars, changing of robes etc, was in line.
A note too that they dont have washrooms of their own so visit one before you go for your appointment.
What the voucher says:"
- Welcome Drink and Snack
- 60 minute Full Body Massage
- 60 minute Kerstin Florian Facial
- 10 minute Detox Foot Soak
Choose from 4 types of massages:
- Customised
- Aromatherapy
- Oriental
- Fusion
Massage - - the massage started before I could ask about the choice of massage stated on the voucher. Oh well. The therapist was not too bad with her firm strokes and pleasant enough throughout the whole treatment.
Facial - the facila was normal, with cleansing, exfoliating, steam, extraction, and masking. I like it that they use a hand mix mask instead of a sheet mask.
Foot soak - we were told it was a sea salt detox mask but it looked like plain water to me.
The welcome drink and snack became a 'farewell' thing as they only served us during our food soak which was the last treatment. Nothing to shout about crappy ham and mayo heavy sandwiches. I also asked them why we werent given a choice of the massage as stated on the voucher and the masseur said oh because she used a combi of all 4 massages. RRiiiight.

For sure this is one of my favourite tee-shirt shop... Love the thin and durable material, love the cool prints and the one of the kind designs. I can confidently say that the merchandises Urban Street Culture carries invoked my long lost love for tee-shirts and I'm loving to wear them much more than ever.
I met them in a few flea events but as unpredictable flea events these days are, everytime when i see the shop I will make sure i get at least one top for myself. Its the surprise factor that added to the interesting prints you can find in the racks and racks of neatly stacked bubble tees. Like meeting with a long lost friend, Mike the owner could always remember what I bought previously and he's also been an inspiration to me.
The Tees are very reasonably priced, material durable with plenty of nice smooth prints. Yes, the prints are good for machine wash and tees not drool colours during wash. Thin and very comfy to wear with a good range of sizes that fits most asian men and women.
They do carry a good range of rock and roll metal band branded tees, cartoon characters with a funny twist as well as famous brands and our childhood logos. Good thing they do have a permanent store at Orchard Central so if you really wants some tees you could find them there otherwise online, try to email mike or try your luck at fleas :)
Super love their lovely tees :)
