The Cheapest Japanese Food in Singapore is at Sumo House!! Its a no frill, good food japanese resturant (more like food court). Just good food at cheap price! Enjoy a tummy filling meal with a friend at less than $20! You should be able to get each a bento set, couple of side dishes and drinks. (Or just drink the self-service free flow green tea!)
I've been to the Ang Mo Kio branch couple of times and we keep going back for more! The place is usually packed during peak periods (lunch and dinner) and you'll have to join a queue. However the queue moves pretty fast cause the resturant (food court) is done in a way where you will just want to move away once you've finished your meal. (If you're a big motion eater, you might end up arm fighting with the guy next to you! Tsk tsk!)
Do give this place a try when you're around one. There's 3 branches now and guess more will be coming up. Check their website for the menu and operating hours.
Sharing good food at value-for-money quality with everyone.
This is the place to be for all the IT geeks out there! Ever since I became a mobile blogger (on my macbook), I started searching for place where I get wireless connection and power source and still allows me place to relax and chill out at. More than often, I find myself sneaking at cafes trying to get my power block into their power socket...
But now, there's just the right place for me to go! Accessible via MRT at Raffles Place station. Its just a 5 mins walk from the station. The Geek Terminal is the one-stop place for all business meetings, friends gatherings, geeks get-togethers etc. They have high speed internet access and cool power lines where anyone can plug in and power up!
The cosy ambience gives you a very homely feeling. And the people are very friendly and helpful too. They serve food from morning till night. If you've got no place to go between meetings, and need a place to chill and surf, check out Geek Terminal.
Alan Photo (usually known as AP by most photog forums) is the place to get all your photography needs. From the most basic for the everyday users to the most sophsicated systems for the pros. AP has it all!
As mentioned by Kilkenny above, the place looks kinda unfriendly when you step in the first time, but once you start talking or asking things with the staff there, you'll see how knowledgable, friendly and helpful they are.
If you're looking for a new camera or lens or accessories for your photography hobby, check them out at Sim Lim Square Level 1.
Are you going mad and need a place to 'de-mad' yourself? Check out the big red building along Maxwell Road! Yes! It's the infamous red dot museum. It happens every first weekend of the month - MAAD (Market of Artists and Designers) takes place right inside red dot!
Great stuff they have there! All of the work/project on sale at MAAD are created by the artists and designers! Many cool and unique work can be found at MAAD. The crowd is great fun! You'll sure be greeted by the friendly and fun people at MAAD.
If you're around the area or wants to find a place to de-mad yourself, check out MAAD at red dot museum!
Remember! It happens only first weekend of the month! (Don't go there any of the weekend thinking that MAAD will be taking place k....)
Looking for food around VivoCity doesn't seem to be a difficult task. However, deciding what to eat can be quite a challenge! With so many choices to choose from, I got lost a couple of time. But yesterday was suprisingly easy for us. We saw a big board outside UOB promoting a One-for-one promotion at Modesto's and that's what we had for lunch.
We expected crowd at that place but to our surprise, the lunch crowd seemed to have missed this resturant. Hidden at a corner of Vivocity, its not one that many would chance upon while window shopping.
It was pizza and pasta for us girls. We ordered a regular Pizza Al Funghi (cos we thought the Mini would be terribly small) and a Spaghetti Alle Vongole.
Even though there wasn't much tables at that time, the order took quite awhile to come. I can understand why pizza takes longer time to come, but then it came before the Spaghetti! It was huge! (For the 2 of us.) We had 4 big slices of it and we didn't feel bloated cos the pizza was thin on the crust and the mushrooms on it was yummy!
The Spaghetti finally arrived while we were at our last slice of pizza. (That's abit too long for them to cook the pasta.) The look of it didn't quite attract us. And the taste was... not-so-bad. Probably cause of the pizza that was very delicious.
I would probably give the pasta a miss and just go for their pizzas. There're many other pizzas to choose from! Better go try it soon if you're a UOB cardmember! From Mon-Thur only.
Fatty Weng is definitely one of the best "zhi cha" I've tasted! I've been visiting them every now and then for about 7 years and the food still tastes as good as ever.
Unlike most "zhi cha" places, you get to dine in an air-conditioned place, which is a huge plus. Service is fast and friendly too.
As for the price, I wouldn't say it's value for money though. A dinner for two cost me $30 . It's not surprising though, as there seem to be a lot of caucasian diners here.
Was there yesterday with group of people from Ping.sg. The place was erm... brightly and cutely decorated. But I was told by some of the people there that the night ambience is better, with the lights dimmer and the crowd is usually busy at night.
I spent quite a long time looking at the menu while waiting for more people to join the group. The menu was bright and colorful. Some of the colors were kind of mismatched. And it hurts my eyes reading it. (I wonder how its like reading it in dimmer lights at night...) They do have quite a wide variety of food at very reasonable price.
I ordered the Chicken Balotine for $8.80. Added $3 for the set which comes with either a salad/soup, a drink and a dessert. Or you can op to add $6 for the dessert to be upgraded to a B&J's ice-cream, which I thought was quite ex.
After few pieces of the chicken and mushroom in my main dish, I decided to add chilli to it. Yeah, it tasted better with chilli. I thought I was just picky about it, but after awhile, I saw quite a few of the people around me reaching out for chilli too! And confirmation with them was, yeah, the food could be better. (Maybe the chief wasn't in such a good mood and it affected the quality of food. Hmm...)
Dorothy Perkins has quite a few outlets in Singapore and is managed by Wing Tai Asia which also manages Topshop. G2000 etc. This particular one is in Parkway.
I like Dorothy Perkins as their clothing line is more sensible and evergreen. It's not overly quirky and overly fashionable items that become outdated easily. Within an outlet itself they tend to have clothing for every occasion. Their sizes run a little bigger so I wear size 6 instead of my usual size 8. The pricing of the items are generally alright, pretty much like Topshop.
This particular store in Parkway is my favourite as it's not as crowded as the rest and is always tidy even during a sale (as it is now.) I asked many questions and tried on 3-4 pieces and the salespeople were happy to answer all my questions, one of the benefits of an uncrowded place.
I too tried their XXXL Chicken Cutlet. It tastes pretty good, but it is really oily! Just looking at them preparing it makes you feel really guilty for eating such unhealthy food.
At $3 a pop, it is not exactly cheap too. I guess it's good if you got a friend to share the serving with.
IMO, botak jones is kinda over-rated. Not that I don't like it, but I've heard so many people talking about it and how much they enjoy it and all, but then, are the food really that good?
Yeah, the serving is huge and thus its kinda value for money. The thing I enjoy when I'm at Botak Jones (twice) is reading the menu! Have to give credit to the creator of the not-so-elegant-but-fun-to-read-menu. Bring one home if you want. They have lots! And I'm sure they'll photocopy new copies when the old ones wear off.
If you're hungry for beef patty or huge sausages, you can give botak jones a try. As they say, "They really don't care."
